325 E46 Compact

Does it use Projectors or Reflectors?! I cant find anything on the internet - info about this model is so scarce...

According to Real OEM -325ti has Bi-xenon OR Xenon headlights so yeh they are projectors, not reflectors!

from the 325ti i can see on the street, they all have normal holagen (did i spell this right?) headlights.

if you have your 325ti, then have a look at ur headlight, if you see a glass ball in it, then it uses projector, or otherwise, it uses reflectors.

If it has halogen, you could email info@umnitza.com to see if they have a projector setup?

yep, remeber to get the aftermarket bulb holder for HID bulbs so you don't have to cut your original bulb holder.

also, altho the bulbs are being H7, BMW uses 9006 connectors on their bulb holders.

so you will either need to get kits with relay, or get an extra set of 9006 cable set.

ok, ill go for a kit with all the jaz. From searching it is indeed a H7 fitment. It appears 325Ti Compact was the first BMW with bi xenon lights in Europe, so SOMEWHERE there must be a BMW headlight assembly I can buy that has this setup - that would be the ideal setup for me

Definitely makes the front more modern looking IMO. Nice choice, never seen 'em on a compact before. Post pics if you get them.
