$110 shipped. WITH Piaa hyper whites and philips blue bulbs. Great deal I think. sorry about the 800kb. My digi cam was set to high res. I'll make sure to put it down a little next time. most pple have cable or dsl these days anyways. oh and it does feel like x-mas, I've got gauges and a new grill coming also.

I know what you mean with the Christmas feeling and all. I just installed my grille on my hood (actually looks good), and filled in that gap between the hood and the BMW headlights with some custom covers. I also order me some new 17" wheels comming Tuesday, Sweet, looks like momo's! I'll have more in the rubber than the wheels (I think I'm going to go into buisiness selling wheels!)And I still have to put my Stillen Ground effects on! Not to mention in a few months I'll have me some drag radials for Bristol Motor Speedway!! Hatt Baby!!!!lalalalalalallaaaaaaaalalalal!!

So those are the actual headlights? Do you just remove the OEM unit and slap that in, or does it take some McGyver skills?

Right now they are made out of sheet metal. Cut and spot welded. I just finished painting them this morning so they will go in this afternoon. I also got my grille on a little better, the bottom was slightly rubbing the BMW headlights when shut, so I installed some spacers where the grille attached and it fixed the problem. I bought some black rubber molding from Auto Zone (with the sticky tape on one side) and filled the gap between the grille and the hood and to prevent rubbing. I just need to feel in the 1/2" to 1" gap below the grille now when it's shut.

Just to make you feel better, I paid $75 for mine.. they're sitting in the garage until my car gets back from the body shop in a couple weeks.
screw the PIAAs.. they're overpriced and don't work well. that's why I didnt' buy them. (yes, it's been proven many many times that PIAA bulbs suck. don't try to argue with me)
