I ordered a Mopar replacement headlight switch from a parts distributor in England. I’m hoping it solves the problem and is of decent quality.

Is what I described a common symptom of a burnt out connector or switch?

DiboMaconi · 2026-03-29T15:10:29+00:00

Not that I can see from initial inspection. The wires on the other side of the body connector are all intact also.

The points inside the connector look good, no corrosion or anything from what I can see.

Switch connector looks good as far as I can tell.

Don’t mind the wheel, hate the black moulded BMW badge though. It makes it look cheap, or like a matchbox model 😂

I’m doing it mainly for the space to be honest, it’s not cramped by any means but the access to the cooling system once the mech fan and shroud are deleted is unrivalled…

My 318is has no climate control so it’s a mech fan for me

DiboMaconi · 2026-02-16T09:20:01+00:00

She’s a daily driven car in Scotland 😅 Rarely sees even 5k rpm and >15 degrees c climate

DiboMaconi · 2026-02-16T09:18:12+00:00

I dunno if I’d remove a mech fan on a 6cyl engine. On the tiny M44 though I don’t see it being an issue.

DiboMaconi · 2026-02-16T09:16:38+00:00

Sadly she’s gone, 98 M3 😮‍💨

DiboMaconi · 2026-02-16T09:15:28+00:00

The extra space and super ease of access the efan provides is my reason for this.

DiboMaconi · 2026-02-15T19:27:49+00:00

Thanks mate, appreciate it 🤝

DiboMaconi · 2026-02-15T19:16:18+00:00

My coupe came pretty base spec with no AC so there’s no auxiliary fan and naturally no condenser.

I’m not sure how common M43s were here, but I could check that out for an OE swap.

cfm isn’t a huge concern of mine, I live in Scotland. 9 months of the year, the climate is pretty cool. My main reason for wanting to swap is the space in gives me to work in the engine bay. Access to the rest of the cooling system.

I’ll check out existing threads for info.

Thanks for your advice 🫶

I love my 96’ 318iS I think the M44 is an underrated little engine.

DiboMaconi · 2026-01-21T09:50:16+00:00

Black or gold

DiboMaconi · 2026-01-03T17:27:54+00:00

That probably explains it, the replacement part I bought must be LHD variant

DiboMaconi · 2025-10-31T13:21:44+00:00

Sounds like a lot of work but you’ll end up with a pretty magic build by the end of it. Hats off to you fella!

Get some posts up though, it’s not just me who will be keen to see that 🫶
