Default headlight conversion from BWM E34 5 series?
got some inspirations from this guy

Big Cats in vip...the long Daimler road. - Page 17

that he uses the BMW E34 headlight and retrofitted to our X308


and I am thinking to use this kit since measurement is very close to our X308

Nope, I don't really like the halo's I just want the projectors.

Might look good with the new clear corners.

It is unclear from reading the linked thread whether the headlamp housings have the same mounting studs as the Jaguar headlights, or if the entire BMW headlight assembly has to be mounted to the Jaguar.

Do you know?
