Check internetautomar's site. He sells the BMW headlights, as for installing them i dont think it will be that hard for you.

Yeah, because right now you have one bulb on each headlight, and the BMW will have two, so you will have to wire it for that.

Here you go...but they are sold...I'm working on some new lights which hopefully will look more COOL.


With GTO cover and lights on.


In the Dark




without covers, you can see the eyelid attached to the light

REally Nice setup!! Did you just put on the GTS covers without cutting off the BMW lens?? And are those projectors? Glass or palstic? and did they come with the angel eyes??
