I have seen them before, Where can I get them and how much do they cost?

I've never seen e28 city lights. I think city lights became European standard equipment after the the e28 was already fazed out.
I would check Google though.

When I went to 5er fest a year ago a lot of cars had them.

Run my headlights and hook up the city lights. I don't have them hooked up yet and I don't know if I want them hooked up.
You will also need to get a euro grill and the complete lighting assemblies from buckets to mounts to the lights themselves. Wiring may be involved in you do not get a complete harness and it still may be required depending on your year E28.
I recommend the swap and then install HIDs. There is some significant wiring needed but it is well worth it!

There you have it.
Halston, the city light portion is euro OE?

Yea but the low beam has the city light. I like it on the high beams like the e36. Looks cool when the low beams are on.

Well the e28 doesn't do it that way :)
You can always drill a hole into your euro lights on the high beams? Kind of gangster but the lows look good too.

When i went to 5er fest there was about 10 cars that had it on the low beams. Maybe I can drill a hole through the socket and wire the bulb in. I think that might work.

You always 'could' :)
Make sure to get euro lights first. If you need any help I have done it once before now.

If I can find a good deal on them complete with buckets and grills. Other wise do it and leave it stock.

They do look cool. If you have the city lights on the low beams you can't see them when the low beams are on.
I will look into doing it tomorrow.

Correct. You wouldn't be able to see them. But if you have HIDs in the lows who cares about the city lights player!

I will post a picture of my car so you can see my aftermarket Hella lights at some point. They are hella cool.

Go to his account and go to threads started by him. I believe they are in the "toys gifts for my IC" thread.
If you get Hella's H4's you won't have that 'euro look' of the big and small.

You are asking me to post Hella lights for my SVT Focus? I didn't know you guys cared. I will do it.

I did find a step by step on how to make hella lights work. It shows by drilling through the socket and doing the wiring.

08-21-2008, 12:38 AM
Try that :)
I would go Euro Lights and not worry about the city lights personally.

The sale and profit of city lights are keeping EBAY in business. Even the Factory City lights look like cheap Korean garbage anymore. If these fads keep up, the word Kraut will become as dirty a word as the word rice. I know my opinion isn't worth anything, but DAMN! People are ruining some nice examples of older BMWs with crap parts and ill fitted " upgrades" . Makes me want to get into old SAAB 900 SPGs.

What do you mean?
I wasn't aware of a single 'replica' Euro Light for the e28. I am running OEM, from Germany Euro Lights. IIRC they are Hella or Bosch.

There isn't anything for the e28 in 'aftermarket' lighting.

I thought the headlights on the E28 were sealed beams. Euros are something different?

I Just want it with City Lights on the High Beams. As for spending $250.00 on the car I'll just keep it stock. I would rather put $250.00 into the e36. Its just a DD.

Spend the 250 so you can see properly at night :)
Euro Lights have actual bulbs.

No,The e28 is the DD.
The e36 just sits in the garage under cover.
I did spend the money on the Low beams to Hella Bulbs. The Stock Bulbs were just to much like dirty yellow.

Switch to Euro Lights and you will say "Damn why didn't do I do this".

Maybe I said it wrong, The stock low beams are Sealed Beams. I put in The Hella Ones with a Blub that can be replaced from the back. A lot Brighter.

Bring it out. Love to see it.
Not a fan of any of the extra lights but love to see NEW stuff that hasn't been done or I haven't seen!

Are you not going to hook yours up?
dinanm3atl
09-18-2008, 01:37 AM
Negative!
Don't think I ever will. Only other lighting upgrade will be fresh bulbs in the taillights and when I get my e34 bumper on I can put in HID Fog Lights :)
