Default WTB and Info needed: Parts for a 1991 BMW 325Xi

Greetings:

First off, I am looking to buy second hand headlight lenses. It looks like
someone, when the car was in the hands of the previous owner, kicked in the
headlight lenses as they are all cracked. Please send your offers or where I
can buy them. My car looks like the one in this pictu

Also, if anyone knows the type of light bulb that is inside the dashboard,
please let me know. I would be interested in buying a bulb to replace it.

Finally, does anyone know why my window clickers, which are located in the
center console around the stick shift, periodically go out? Sometimes I do not
have the ability to put up the windows or put them down. It gets very tedious
after a while.

Any information would be greatly appreciated. Please just post answers here or
contact me at:

First off it's an iX not an Xi. :-) Important distinction.

To your questions:

1. I've never seen lenses separately, what you are looking for in the used
market is a set of ellipsoids. A popular upgrade for sealed beam folks,
they do come up from time to time but command a fairly hefty price.

2. There are a couple of bulbs in there covered by "socks" to give them
colour. I think they're dealer only. I'd buy enough to replace them all
and perhaps some new socks while you're in there as they are sometimes
partially melted. Then you have to pull the cluster to replace them. You
should probably do the batterieswhile you're in there.

3. You are probably hitting the main window breaker, it's the 5th switch
over by the power window switces. It has a red band around it when it's
raised. Takes a rather firm press to activate/deactivate -- try it.

-Russs.
