yes some of us have them...no one is finished the install yet. it's not a normal BMW headlight conversion. the lights are very deep and a lot of work needs to be done to get them in

i have them but havent installed them yet. As for the corners lights, you wouldnt really use them unless you want to do some custom fabrication ie fiberglass, bondo, sheet metal etc to fit those in. the headlights as said before are deep in the rear so that would prolly be the hardest part to work on. also from what ive heard the radiator support may need to be cut or modifed as well. When i install them i'll be sure to post some pics as to how i got those headlights in. From the looks of it its not going to be your everyday bmw conversion. looks like a lot of cutting, swearing, blood, sweat and tears but should be fun.

Wouldnt you call it fun if it hasn't been success ? Lets hope that you will success one day by then. Swearing is one of the most common thing if you havent success with it. Good luck

its not one piece. The corner lights come apart...they just sell them together and took the pic with them together.

they are separate pieces, the corners and the headlights come pacakged together. 2 headlights and 2 corner lights. they are not one piece. if you have read the auction it states its a four piece set. you can use your existing stock corner lights but if you are doing the headlights then this would be an opportune time to install clear corners or Uk smoke corners(if you can find them or get a hook up) when doing the headlight conversion if havent already installed clear corners. the only things that prevent me from finishing it is lack of money for tools (dremel, angle grinder, soldering iron etc.) and sheet metal or metal pieces of some sort to make brackets and lack of downtime. i have a basic idea of how and where i will attach the headlights to the car im just not sure about the cuts needed to fit them in. but you figure that will be the fun and edumacational part of the process. As for wiring you can refer to the current info in the bmw writeups to get that done because the lights come with a harness to fit in to the stock bmw 9005/9006 setup so that may be one of the easier parts of the job. Wish me luck. i hope to be undertaking the project very soon like next week if weather is kind and after a trip to the local home depot for some new tools.

I thought these lights used the H7 bulb for the projector.
