Series 3 V35 coupe headlights vs Series 1

[Namesdrew]

Can someone please tell me if I can directly fit Series 3 projector style OEM headlights into a 2003 Series 1 V35 Coupe.

My original 2003 lights were totally destroyed by hail and I need to replace them.

The best condition replacements I have found and best price are Series 3 OEM projector style will they fit?

Any answers very much appreciated I couldn't find anywhere.

Thanks for the posts on this forum so much useful info!!!

Hey Andrew,

Yes they do fit, just make sure you use the ballasts from your Series 1 head lights and it should be easily plug and play. I used to run Series 3 OEM projector headlights and had no issues with them. They look 10x better too. Good luck!

These projector headlights are so hard to come by though. Wouldn't mind a set myself if only I were fortunate to source some.....

Thanks for the info. Much appreciated. I just wanted to be sure. Now I know the OEM Series 3 lights fit I just need to source some which looks like it will be a major challenge! I would settle for the Series 1 or Series 2 but they need to be in very good condition with no parts missing. New part prices are scary! Anyone who has L and R V35 OEM headlights in very good condition please message me. Some I have seen are yellow as or are obviously off different cars. Fingers crossed...
