Which headlights

Mongobear · 06-11-2020, 06:03 AM

I bought a crashed '16 F33 and need to replace the left-hand-side headlight. The car has the Bi-Xenon headlights (non-adaptive as far as I can see).

There seem to be quite a few Bi-Xenon headlights for the 4-series using different part-numbers?

The broken one in the car is P/N 7410787.
I found a reasonably priced P/N 7460627.

Are they interchangeable? It's an Australian car so right-hand-drive.

Thanks guys

Anyone?

These new cars are very finicky when it comes to electronics. It should work but you will need to disable the adaptive feature. There is a high possibility of a warning coming up on the display every time you start your car.

Thanks mate. It looks like both lights are non-adaptive Bi-Xenons. I'm just confused as to why there are different part numbers for them. And it looks like there are even more out there, again with same function (non adaptive Bi-Xenon) but different part numbers again. Very confusing.

I'm just worried I'll spend $1000 on a headlight that ends up not working. Couldn't find any info on what the difference could be.
