528i '97 model. Bought about 6 months ago but I've only just noticed that the keys don't work in the door lock. Not siezed as the barrel moves slightly. The keys enter OK, they just don't turn. Both work fine with the buttons, and also manually on the boot and glove box locks. I have two 3...

Hi all, I've purposefully avoided this thread because I didn't want to drag it out. Here's my simple response: In my humble opinion, if asked, I would say Daniel Stern is the foremost authority on car lighting. I think the man a genius in this regard. I also think he provides a valuable service...

I need a new source for something like 80W Osrams or German quality H-4 for my e-codes. Dan communicated with me about 20 days ago - suggesting what to buy, so I e-mailed him the order and voice-mailed my credit card information. I placed the call and e-mail on about April 10th. He never responded...
