David Jones Auto electrician, near the RBH. He can give you good advise on a whole range of different bulbs to use, he has a whole bunch on display. He can also wire up the dual headlight hight beam. That where I will be going shortly.

if it's fogged then if you do a search you'll find that somepeople have used toothpaste to remove it from the outside, the headlights are basically impossible to clean the inside, it is very very very very difficult to remove the front from the back half, as it is sikaflexed in there so once you remove it you might not be able to get it properly resealed, all found using the search button :(

ah .. yeah.. ive got this cleaner detergent for the outside lamps from japan. works well. just wanna get the insides cleaned, but seems its highly impossible. btw, does anyone know where i can get amber park bulbs. the park (side lamps of headlight) bulb on my import is the bulb thats used as a brake lamp, which is weird. so if anyone knows where i can get amber ones would be good.

ive tried autobarn strathpine, they only had one, and it looked like they wont be shipping those anymore.

If u are looking for a pair of good bulbs for any car, have a look on ebay.com.au and search for "bulbs" heaps of jap style bulbs to choose from! i have put a set in my sisters NX coupe (NXT51) , my old ET Pulsar AND my 76 Mini!! Awesome lights. Good luck.

That is a link for some H1 globes. BUT if u win an auction for ANY of the globes, u just ask for whatever type you need (H4, H1 etc) and they will send you those.

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
