Default Headlight for 740i

Is there anything special about headlights for this car (1998)? Do I have to
get my pocket picked at the BMW dealership or can I get one at any auto
parts store?

Do you mean the bulb only or the whole assembly? For the bulb only
(non-xenon) the low beams are H1-55W, the high beams are H7-55W. These are
available at any quality auto parts store. Whole assemblies are available
from the dealer or many other aftermarket suppliers like www.umnitza.com ,
www.bavauto.com or www.autohausaz.com .

I guess you can't expect a top poster to read the previous headers
before he posts.

It must be hell living your whole life upside down...

Whew! Bitchy in here today...

I'm still waiting for the OP to discover that he has Xenons (presumably
the second he electrocutes himself).
