Are there any light output advantages to these E36 headlights or is it just for an aesthetic look?

to my knowledge better cut off. the 9006/5 system generally have better output than 9004.

I don't recall what he moved on to.
Thank you for the words. I think I was the second person to mod E36 lights. Need4power was the first. That's actually a big part of how I found the forums and joined, seeing his black 3rd gen with the US Specs. I wanted him to do a write up, but he wouldn't because he said he had a shop do it.

I'm confused about which "these" you're referring to. IMO, the US Spec E36 (non-hid and non-projector) are a 50-75% improvement over stock. Add hid and you're probably 75-100% over stock. I don't think HID adds any more improvement in this setup due to the fact the housings were not intended for hid.

Euro Spec E36 (non-hid with projector) are 125-150% improvement over stock. Add hid to the projector and you are easily 150-200% improved over stock. My opinion is based on personal experience, as I've run each setup, including the black housing/dual projector eBay setup.

That might not be a bad idea at all for those still looking to do the conversion.. post a number of pics at different angles too for anyone looking to fab their own if they can...did you find a 3rd gen in the yard with the e36 headlights? I wonder? I bet it probably would have belonged to another member here at one point.

i put them on yesterday but i will take off the drivers side to take some pictures after i get off work today and yes it was a 3rd gen but im not sure if it belonged to anyone off of here but it could have been it was a 1990 maxima se 5 speed
