I was driving to a buddies house when a Lexus RX was in the lane next to me. I couldn't even tell if my headlights were on! Then one of the new Grand Caravans passed me with HIDs and same thing..... I think those car's liscense plate lights have more output than my headlights. Any beam shots of someone using E36 projectors with HID?

u probably need to change ur bulbs? 3rd gen doesn't have that bad output....post ur pics with high and low beam then we can tell wats the prob..

nah they work fine just suck compared to all the new HID projectors and all. Also my dig cam takes crappy night shots. always make things look brighter than they are. I am going to do they headlight bulb mod, just need to get a dremel.

You can also use these type of files to file down the nubs in the headlight housing...

the nubs on the inside? that's a dumb idea... driver visibility is one thing, but never at the expense of blinding others with a less-controlled light pattern.... not much scarier than coming around a sharp bend on a country road and suddenly getting blinded by an oncoming driver... not being able to tell when to straighten out at the end of the curve until they pass.

He's talking about the bulb housing nubs, so the 9007 bulbs can fit in the 9004's place.

check your lenses for haze and overspray. I had to spend some time with rubbing compound and hand cleaner cleaning the crap off them. made a sizable improvement

Went I went over to 9007 bulbs, it was like a whole new world. That modification is a must.

Meh, I wanted a one time deal, and it still fits 9004's in the event I ever needed to switch back. Sanding the bulbs every time I needed/wanted to change headlight bulbs sounded like more of a PITA.
