Hey,
I am looking for rear lighting for an E9, specifically the inside-the-trunk half (bulb carrier with grey shell) for repair work I am doing for someone. Left side is needed immediately, but both eventually.
Here's the catch - IT DOESN'T NEED TO WORK... broken is fine, OK, hunky dory, no problemo.
Reason is, I am repairing a left turn signal, and need to do an organ transplant. The original dish / stamping is so rusty that it's perforated - holes and flakes of metal oxide falling off. Looks like it was retrieved from the Titanic.
I know that lenses are the typical victim in a rear end mishap, but severe impact will trash the entire thing. I sincerely hope this did not happen to anyone - BUT, if one was trashed, I'd be there for the rear light left-overs. If I can get the necessary bits and pieces for this repair, I can salvage a very old and otherwise useless light, to get someone back on the road with NICE, BRIGHT TAIL LIGHTS.
ANYBODY out there with a broken set of lights they don't think they'll be using, but can't stand parting with the remains?
I can't pay a fortune; maybe something nominal, maybe barter for light restoration and upgrade services for YOUR coupe or Bavaria or 2002, or ???
Thanks in advance if you think you can help, and for digging through your garage, basement, attic, or wherever your stash is hiding.
Andy
