Good Morning

I have a 21 year old Alpina 

I need to replace headlight and dipped light bulbs, can anybody advise on replacements that are brighter that are a straight swop. Also best place to purchase, I am based in south east London. 

I also wish to replace plastic shields that sit behind headlights in engine compartment, I have the shields but am unable to find any of the plastic fasteners that secure them.

I also need to acquire springs for headlamp wash wipe, and plastic cap that sits on the underside of door mirror.

I hope somebody can advise.

Thank you 

Jeff

Parts diagram

Do you mean like the ones above see items 10 and 12..
If so your local dealer will get them for you.
They should also be able to get the springs and plastic caps for your headlamp wash.
If not you could keep an eye out on ebay..
 
As for headlight bulbs there are many types of replacements , try and visit your local motor factors and ask them to show you some of the brighter halogen bulbs that are available.

Jeff forgot to ask what Alpina do you have. I'm guessing an e30.

Hello Simon

The diagram looks like mines and it is an E 30

You have seen the car before
