Hi I find the lights on my 2000 z3 a bit dark should you change the bulbs or the whole unit. Is there anybody in Scotland that you can recommend to carry out the work?

Common issue especially if you drive a daily with modern LED headlights.

You can just change the lamps no need to change the whole headlight. Osram Night breakers are often recommended on here.

I’d like to fit Osram night breakers to my Z3 too. ( fitted some to my old MK1 Renault Trafic campervan and it was a night and day difference! )
Does anyone have a spec or link to the correct ones for a Z3?
Thanks

Just take them out and check. Different ages of car had different bulbs
Also, don't trust RealOEM for this. Mine are actually HB3 and HB4 but RealOEM reckon the low beam is an H7.
It'll only take a minute to check:thumbsup:
