Hi guys! I haven't posted in years but now I sort of have the urge to start modding the bB some more. Anyone know where I can buy bB headlamps (new) and also eSam window rain guards? If anyone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

Thanks.

 

your best bet on that is ebay

I've never seen new bB HLs on ebay, only used ones.

for jdm headlights w/o bump, u can get used ones on ebay or wait until someone sells theirs.. can't get them new anymore from japan unless someone has a set they havent used yet

 

^^^^ yup, you wont find any new bB headlights.

 

The fleabay used ones I've seen lately are kinda nasty looking too.
The knock off e'sams are not bad for the price but they do need some massaging to fit right. Mostly some trimming where they drag the glass when moving windows up and down.

 

My esam knock-offs didnt need any trimming and they dont even come close to the window. Just dont buy the ones off of ebay. I got mine from www.ssuperstore.com and they fit perfect without any problems. Every once in a while there is a set of bB headlights that pop up on ebay too.

 

thanks for your help... yeah not looking for fakes... esam.

cool i will try the links, also i will try to get the headlight direct from japan...

 

Mine don't hit the glass, but the back ones aren't straight across at the top, there's a bit of a curve in the plastic... but, considering the price, I'll get over it.

 

If you need a new set of bB headlights send me a PM.

 

My left rear one was so curved the 3M wouldn't stay stuck. I ended up peeling it back off. Removing the old 3M and heating it up with a propane torch and making it flat. 2 of the other ones needed alot of material removed because you could roll the windows down but the visor would catch and break if I hadn't trimed about1/4 inch off them. But yeah, for the price I'm fine with them. Only a few people will actually ever notice they are fakes but I don't really care. I spent the 150 saved toward my new springs. haha

 

actually, if you look at the pics, the link is for the 1st gen headlights (no bump).

the link is supposed to be for a new set

i don't get it. aren't the visors on the door frame? what part did you have hitting the glass?

 

The part that was hitting the glass was where they swooped downward and in on the bottom section. If I had mounted them without test fitting you could have rolled down the window but on the way up the glass would have caught the visor and cracked the heck out of it. I trimmed off enough so there was at least an 1/8th inch gap everywhere.
They work real good once I got them fitting nice. I'm still happy, just slightly disappointed.

 

oh, i see. i didn't know people had problems with that. thanks for the info

 

Most people aren't having problems. I only had a prob. with 2 of the 4.
Front pass. side and rear drivers side.

 

Two members of my chapter purchased them and both had problems. After looking at them I would give the fit and finish a 6.5 out of 10.
