It does look good in black against the darker headlining. I suspect this effect could be achieved with a rattle-can of satin black
Interesting E31 EBAY add's

It becomes quite obvious on the anthracite headliner:
8er.org/forum/index.php?attachment/21740/ 8er.org/forum/index.php?attachment/21739/
The left one is the standard issue domelight for all E31´s and the right one seemingly was factory installed only in the E34 M5 but appeared in the E31 part list some time in 2011. To me the black one matching the rear black ones in the C-pillar covers and the dark headliner finally make it a perfect match. This is really nothing but expensive cosmetics that ought to have been the responsibility of BMW in the first place
The domelight is currently listed for around 75 EUR. What is interesting in the Ebay ad is that it also contains one of the NLA C-pillar lights. Those were the standard issue for all E31´s with anthracite headliner.
Cheers
ReinhardBlack domelight looks good . I have the black C pillar ones , but standard dome light , can these be purchased from BMW still

AFAIK, the colour!
If you had asked me I would have sworn mine was black! Now I know it's white, and black would look so much better, it is starting to bug me...

I'm going to check mine now and then I'm so getting a black one - looks great IMO
ps [off topic sorry] my exhaust lowering still not resolved. Car still being driven but little clicking noise from propshaft becoming more apparent / frequent so I really need it sorting now.. why do money shortages happen at the least appropriate times..
Going to see a man about it ASAP -
It bugged me as well so now I have one on order , we must be sick
Who will ever se the difference or notice if we do not thell them.Anyway I will see it.

Now I've had to buy one, and that means re-doing the ambient lighting!

Is this an easy swap-out , gentlemen?
Thanks.
ps: Terje: yes I'm willing to bet nobody, ever, notices the change. To be fair to my passengers though, they are usually too preoccupied normally while sitting in my car to do anything other than stare wildly ahead, a rictus of fear occasionally contorting their features while their fingers leave deep indentations in whatever part of the car they're holding onto -

Blimey, the csi lower bumper doesn't turn up often! £503 from the dealer.

Above average looking 850i, suspect nothing more than batteries or minor engine fault (sat with flat bats and jumped). Very close to reserve price. I have spoken to the owner and will do an initial view if anyone is interested. No affiliation.

Have you noticed just how BRIGHT the main bulb is due to the different diffuser?

Easy 5 minute job to replace , plug and play.
Take out the lamp just as you would if replacing bulbs in it, no screws just pull out -
On UK cars, they pull down on the left-hand side first. There is a long loom and the connector pair is captive in the roof cavity - just squash the tabs, wiggle-out the connector and the old one's out!
