the way most people install them - no

check out www.geocities.com/bmwconversion and there is another link in the FAQs somewhere (or in the links section of my page)

it's a custom job though so you have lots of options when doing it

By listening to you?? you wish

I had the cover idea first and then you stole it

roll tide




yeah, Michael and I did ours the same way - cutting off the BMW lense and using a clear maxima light cover (GTS style) and putting that on there. Mine aren't sealed completely because I'm lazy but it'd be better if you did that

the ones I used are actually Wade brand, but most people know what GTS covers are so that's why I said that

I got them on some store I found on yahoo. Check google and yahoo and stuff. I got them for $40 shipped

You didnt tell ME about the covers...I dont know what you are talking about .

I had the idea of cutting the corner off though...it doesnt matter if that idea came after I broke the corner or not


You know it took me several emails to convince you to go ahead and do the BMWs and covers. You were afraid of them leaking since they were not sealed (thats what I meant by listening to me ).
