[QUOTE="Bananaman, post: 724387, member: 44084"] Ok, have gotten a halfcut. 530. I didn't get the 'body parts'. Now workshop currently doing the wiring. But am now told that since I am moving from 520 to 530 the wiring is different and that I would need to get the 'facelift' [U]four doors[/U] as the sockets are different. Gotta get new front and rear lights too. 1) Is it possible to just get the sockets/parts rather than the WHOLE door? 2) Are there few kinds of facelift headlights? (read something about auto leveler, turn signal yellow color/clear, xenon/non-xenon, HID, hella, depo, ah huat, ah kow, 'don't-get-taiwan-lights') huh??! :stupid: 3) Will the facelift headlights fit my 1999 e39? Also read something about a ballast. 4) Since I might have to get those stuff, are there any other things that I have to get so that this conversion process can move on smoothly? 5) My halfcut came without the 'banana leaf' or 'wheel arch liner shield thingy' so I thought that was odd. Where can I get them locally? Or I can just buy some sort of fabric and tampal myself?
