I've just rebuilt a LHS headlight on my R32 from two broken units - They look exactly the same. I've taken the glass lens off, swapped out the internal reflectors and now have reassembled without telling the wife I used her oven. As I've reassembled it I notice that the wiring harness was slightly different. Infact on closer inspection I see that the lamp housing of the bulb style section is now different to the original unit that saved from the old headlight. This image shows what I now have and am seeking the correct lamp to purchase.

The below image is the original lamp housing

The wiring harness comparing the two is in the image below -  The connector on the right is what I have now. Please tell me the correct lamp to buy and can anyone share with me why the lamp housing may be different? I don't really want to rebuild the headlight again.

Also the projectors are junk, you've be much better off retrofitting with proper HID projector. Even bunging in an adaptor plate for H1/H7 etc halogen buib into said HID projector will be an upgrade.

I haven't looked at R32 headlights in a while (shame on me) but that could be the high beam reflector?

As for LEDs, I personally wouldn't bother unless they're using Koito projectors, but I guess if you want a bolt on solution it'll do.
