Hey guys. I bought another 200B off a friend of a friend, great find I must say, '77 sedan with IRS, red interior in close to mint condition and only a tinsy bit of rust on the bonnet etc. Needless to say, I'm psyched. So I have this thing on a 28 day permit for the moment and one of the things that needs to be fixed is the headlights, but the original ones are pretty ratshit (non removable globes, crappy wiring), so I was wondering if there are any lights either off another car or after market kits that would just bolt straight in that have removable globes?

just make sure you tell him to send you the 5 inch ones rather than 7inch

Lots of old BMW headlights will fit too. Take your old one into a wreckers yard and have a browse. Something else to consider too if you're upgrading your lights is to upgrade your alternator and replace the wire to the battery. This made a HUGE difference on my old 200B, suddenly I could see at night.

Hi Bernard... Since it's my old car i had already found the solution but never got around to fixing it. I was gonna buy some 5" H4 beams off a local parts store, they were 39 bux each (far cheaper than the link above). Then just get the headlight loom from another 200B and some globes and you should be good to go.
