BMW Headlights on a Maxima

I've been seeing the BMW E36 series headlights on maxima's all over the place (mostly cardomain.com). People say to just find them on ebay... they cost a lot though, (around 90 or so bucks for just one side).... I was just thinking maybe somebody here knows of a real definitive website that you can get them from, maybe even a generic brand or something, something cheaper..... cause those headlights look NICE on a max.

$90 for one? I got both of mine for $40 on ebay. Try typing just "BMW headlights" in the search bar and memorize what the E36s look like. Not all people know the chassis code. Also, be sure you read about what is involved in doing the conversion before you buy. These are not just plug and play.

True, You are going to have to cut the braket and mount of the head light, plus the Maxima headlights have two connections while the BWM have three, so there is also some splicing involved. Read carefully through the instructions before you attempt it, or you might find yourself with one hell of a mess.
