Is it the E36's headlights? Do they just bolt right in?

 

YES they are the E36's headlight...
NO they do not just bolt right on =\

im in the process of putting them on now, but i had some other things to attend to today and tommorow, so i have to postpone finishing them for now

 

1. too damn many people now.
2. no, it's not bolt on. it took me an entire weekend, but I did some custom wiring while I was doing the job.

 

4 yrs ago..... theres only 2 other car like it around my
way it took about 6 hrs to do ive done my differently than the other people

 

yes I have it and I'm most likely the only one in the entire state of Iowa that has it. it took my about 5 hours per light I think. I did one light on sat and one light on sun. its a simple mod if your willing to take the time to do it

 

I know alot of people are interested, but I believe only a small number have really done it? Oh well. Block, I must admit, your job looks sweet.

 

Funkdoobiest, all I got to say is if your thinking about doing it, dont beat around the bush n hurry up n do it...I did it about 2yrs ago. First saw it wuz at that smx maxima site. I actually wanted to do it 3yrs ago but I was in the Army n did'nt have my car with me. But like I said go for it. If u can try around your area n see if theres a bmw junkyard. I went to 1 here where I live but they didnt have n e good 1'ns, but ordered from a company up in New Jersey which sells the housings for $70.00 both sides. (I laugh when people say they paid $300 plus for theres hehe) If the junkies aint got it, they know about that company... Ill post pics lata since Im at school now of mines to well just show u.....
Hope I still got those pics....
Out

 

At my old job(BMW), this 318 came in with a Mercedes SLK supercharger and a projector version of these E36 headlights. I don't know if it was factory, but if I ever did this, I would be sure to get those.

Does somebody have detailed instructions posted somewhere on how to do this headlight conversion?

I found the new Hella headlight units for $70 each here http://www.turnermotorsport.com/catalog/catalog.htm under LIGHTING. They also have the projector units for $439 a pair(ouch), but I'd do it, it's different. Then I'd buy a true HID kit like my 3000GT. Mmmmm, I really want a Maxima now.

3000GT's are tight too, nothing to regret... anyway those projector units are sweet! Damn, 439 is a little cheaper than $575 or $620, but still those are sweet and different.

 

No regret. I want a Maxima for a second car. I've had a kid since I got the GT with another one in the oven. I want something roomy and nice, but with power. Oh, I forgot----I have to like it----alot.

 

did u custom do that grill, or is that how the 89's are?
