New R8 type of E36 headlight

I was looking online for headlights and came across this link.

http://www.dashzracing.com/Lighting-...-p7191036.html

They pose an interesting alternative to the usual E36 headlight swap. Of course they would need some extensive modification to fit our 3rd gens, but I think it's possible with the Euro Clear lenses and some fabrication. What do you all think?

one small problem...... the corners are all one piece on those. you'd have to hack them off and seal up the ends....

the corner wouldnt work,
also one piece e36 headlights are sort of frowned upon in the e36 community.

also here's a good place if you guys haven't seen it before pretty cheap and good quality.

Hey Tim,

Let's see you back in the 3rd gen action! I got a lead on a good VE5 with low miles and a low price if you're interested . I'd get it but don't have the cash. It'd be great to have back in the game.

If he isn't interested, would like a PM with the details if you aren't going after it.

I like my new headlights
