Side marker lights

Post by ngrosso »

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for help on these side marker lights. I’m finishing up the restoration on this Alpina B2 (630cs) and we can’t find new side marker lenses. I’d like to find new lenses for both front and rear sets and new chrome for the front (which is already wrapped in chrome) and the rear which is not currently bordered in chrome.

I ordered a set from ECS for a 635csi although they were surprisingly different from what I have currently. The car was imported and I’m not sure what car these lights are from.

Any help is appreciated!

It sounds like your B2 went through the dreaded DOT conversion process, wherein they used whatever side marker lights they had in the parts bin :roll:

Since you mention that they have chrome bezels, that doesn't sound like factory 635 side markers :-k

Perhaps you can post a few pix [-o<

Let's have a look see \:D/

Unfortunately it did! Sorry, I meant to have a pic above. Here is a link.

At the bare minimum I'm hoping to find a chrome bezel for the rear set to match the fronts. Ideally, replace both sets of lens' including bezels.

Side marker lights could be like the ones used on e21.

Unfortunately Google images are not being displayed. Some sort of file error
