3B to elipsoid headlight upgrade

[CoCaine]

Hello, I have a set of cabrio elipsoid headlight that I want to put in my 3B and founded that they don´t fit..
Someone got the same problem?
Any advice is welcomed!

They should... i what way do they no fit?

[CoCaine]

It seems like there isn´t enough room for them, I will try to make some photos. I thought there is something to be done before fitting, I did not espected that, thought it is plug&play..

Hi CoCaine!
I once bought a used pair of headlights from a standard coupe or cabrio, I don't remember... only to find out that they are a bit longer than the S2 headlights.
Longer on the inside of the engine compartment (not where they bond with the wings).

Strange as the one i brought to replace the broken one on my S2 avant fitted perfectly... it was a non elipsoid one though

sounds like b3 headlights as if used with b4's it hits the bonnet.

Yes, this is the problem. What did you did to fit them? Still had no time to make photos..

Need to see photos...

Well my mechanic fit them and when you closed the hood it closed over some part of the headlights... with the hood closed you cannot even see that the headlights are longer.
I managed to get a S2 pair of headlights soon after and replaced them again.

be carefull, if you shut the bonnet to quickly you will smash the glass.

Only managed to take this photo, the problem is where the screwdriver is, that plastic has no space in the engine compartment, I think I need to cut something to fit it? The lights that I have now in my car doesn't have that plastic piece, it was cut.

maybe they are attached wrong on the headlight ? i mean, maybe theyre moved more to the inside. And these plastic pieces hold the headlight, a screw goes through it, because if these werent present, the headlight would only be attached with the top ones, and they should break.
