E36's and Amber Euro corners. w/ pics
 
I got my e36's put in that i got from trippleg (greggh) along with a set of euro corners, and the other night i decided to get some amber lights for the corners just to see how it looked. I really like the result and will stay with it. Marshall X i know you were thinking about this too so here are the pics:

Actually the euros dont have room for a light, you have to custom drill a slot for the light to fit.

LOOK IN THE STICKIES!!!

heresmymind Oct 8, 2007 08:38 AM

could you post some pics during the daytime to see how close to flush you got? the e36 depos are impossible to make flush with their lens and you cant swap others onto them. so im going to mod the bumper/cornor when i start the body work

nice work. i like. can't wait till im done with my retro.

Question: The Euro corners are smoked from the factory, right? If I wanted to get that smoked look, would you recommend trying to get a hold of some euro corners or just use some shading spray to smoke my existing clear corners?

heresmymind Oct 9, 2007 07:05 AM

i believe euros are glass and smoked with no light bulb holes. i plopped my regular clears into the oven, took the lenses off them, and sprayed the inside of them with gloss black high temp spray paint. i like that look more personally.

yes they are smoked from factory but only in the UK and they are hard to get ahold of. you can get them tinted and the person to ask is Michael. he's an expert on the tinting but what i did is just popped them open and just painted the inside in a flat black and put them back together. the euro corners have a plastic lens not a glass lens.

heresmymind Oct 9, 2007 05:19 PM

i stand corrected.

some one on here did them but they didn't look right on the 3rd gen.

ustfdes Oct 9, 2007 06:00 PM

because he didn't know what he was doing, or didn't do it right, probably.

GRNMAXDMON Oct 9, 2007 06:10 PM

it just looked horrible. that is all.

goon9 Oct 9, 2007 06:28 PM

I'm sure it can look right... granted Done right. Don't know for sure....

ustfdes Oct 9, 2007 06:31 PM

wish someone would try it. and do a write up while they're at it.

GRNMAXDMON Oct 9, 2007 06:44 PM

i think he did a write-up but i guess he never got around to finish it.

OH ok. I don't know squat about Cefiro so that's why.

mrkanda Oct 10, 2007 11:19 AM

Those yellow/amber corners look good. How is their performance as a light for illuminating the corners with that color? Obviously white is brighter, but maybe the yellow offers better contrast.

ustfdes Oct 10, 2007 03:50 PM

well i mean, a write up on the correct and full install of the cefiro headlights. ;)
