yeah but where do i get them from?
Any good? (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/bmw-e30-headlights-smileys-complete-quad-lights-/220615788376?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item335db9c758)
Thats a Novadose headlamp/grill, not an Irmscher one.
You want 5.75" lamps. Cibie HCRs are the ones to get, but they're pretty poo light output. Valeo also do some that will fit, but I can't recall what they are.
As for the E30 lamps:

BUT they are an absolute ball ache to fit. If you're looking to fit into the lamps in the pic you posted forget it as it looks like you don't have the right lamp holders to fit the BMW lamps with. Not to mention hacking the slam panel to pieces (as the BMW lamps are too deep), chopping up the holder to make them fit, and bodging the wiring loom.
I've just spent most of today and yesterday fagging about with my BMW lamps putting them in a new quadlight panel lol
[edit] If its just the main beam lamps you need, I might have a spare pair in my shed. I did have a spare full set but sold them a while back to Bubba who I think then broke them lol
[edit again] As per other thread, those appear to be Manta GTE headlamps. See if you can fing some replacement lamps for a Manta. Although I suspect they'll be Cibie HCRs.

I got mine from Europa Spares, they are just a Cibie/Valeo 5 1/4" lens but you will need to split the old rings with a knife and glue them to the new lens'.
If your old rings are knackered you will neen to use holders such as the ones Novacabrio has shown above.
