where to buy e36 headlights?

like the title says I'm looking to buy a set of E36 projector headlights for my 93 SE but i don't really trust eBay all that much unless i know someone who has had good luck with a seller. so can anyone help me out in trying to find someplace that sells them or a seller on eBay with good product and in good standing. thanks

i have had issues with ebay and i have not bought much on ebay because of my past encounters. thats why i was asking on here if anyone had sellers that they have bought from and had good experience with.

by the way thanks for the link I like the look of them too.

ddm tuning is a company in san diego california that I have bought HID and e46 headlights from, I trust them. You can find E36 projector headlights here http://www.ddmtuning.com/index.php?p...parent=96&pg=1 the first three headlights on the page are what you are looking for. you can decide whether you want the HID to come with it or if you want angel eyes or not. the Dj auto lights are popular ones, with glass lenses, and they sell replacement lenses for them too. look through them and choose the one that fits you best

You have to cut/modify your stock headlight brackets. 99% of people do a complete hack job of an install on the e36 headlights, but even if you don't modifiy the e36 headlights with the GTS/Wade covers, it is possible to do a clean install. The radiator support has to be trimmed a little to install the projectors (like shown in the link from Mr. Blue Sky)

Kind of OT but I see you're from Clackamas - my sister in law is from there. I was actually up there in December for my brother's wedding

Clackamas?? Heck, I'm in Bend - just 150 or so miles from you. I've got a sale pending on my E36's (jump over to the NWMaxima forums and look it up), but I'll see what happens once I get back to the house. PM me.
