its possible...more than likely you will just melt your sockets. I think thats what usually happens.

The reason I ask is because when I got the e36's I had to buy the harnesses, so It hurts to buy another unless I really need to. I'm on a seeking budget/mod fancy. LOL

well you still need the harness you already bought to hook up the harness I linked (well actually only one side). You can always add it later. You will melt your sockets but it may take a little while.

You do? I bought that harness online yesterday morning. So I'll need another harness to hook it up to, before my E36's will work??? I thought you just wired that harness in???

Michael

yeah I sent you a pm last night about it because I it just crossed my mind. The harness is designed to be plug and play in a way that you get it and plug your existing wires up to it and then connect it to the headlight. This isnt a big deal since the connectors you need arent but a couple bucks and you only need them for one side because of how the harness works. You need one 9005 and one 9006 connector. Wire those into the factory light socket on the drivers side then plug the harness up. I guess you could cut the harness they send you and splice it in without buying the other connectors but I wouldnt do that.

Well, I've got my E36's in and I'm just waiting for my harness to come in from audiodynamics. So, only my drivers side works, but it looks good. I still have to do a little adjusting to get the lights to fit nice, I want them to look as flush as possible, which is really hard considering the shape.

Oh and Mike you were right the silerstars I have are only 51 watts( I believe) I have a pair of silverstar 9005 and 9006. But I also have another brand of 9005 (which are in the headlights now) that are 12v 80w blues. They say HB4 on them, is that a brand?? Anywayz, I'm not sure if I should run them or the silverstars, I guess I will just have to play with them when I get the both working, to find out.
I'll post pics, when I get my car washed.

you should run the blue ones and sell me the silverstars cheap .

HB4 isnt a brand its the bulb type...it is the low beam 9006.

Are the silverstars that much better? I just figured the Blue ones would be brighter because of the higher wattage. Plus, the blue ones do make my foglights look awkward, because of the difference in color.

I have 80W blue bulbs in my car and 100W high beams(also blue bulbs) I have these because they were given to me and I dont want to pay $100 for a set of silverstars but yes the silverstars are 10 times better than the blue bulbs. The blue bulbs are just that blue...blue light isnt the best for illumination of the road. The high beams are another story though. The 100W high beams are extreemly bright. My wifes car has stock lights 9004 and they are brighter with their silverstars than the 80W 9006 blue bulbs in my car.

Man, I guess I will swap out the Blues tonight and run silverstars for my high and low beams.
