Or if you wanna stand out a little more, you can get the other E36 headlights...the ones you see in my signature. They get all kinds of crazy attention. I believe it was $180 for the pair and they fit and install no differently from the ones in the link you provided. And btw, they are HID so at night, with the bright blue lights along with the yellow fogs at the bottom, they truly look SICK!!

Dam, it was harder than I thought to find them. These are basically the same but with a clear cover and LED strip. They may actually look better, but they are the same size. To get them to go in flush you will have to do just a little fabricating, or cutting. Then they will slide right in. Then buy the HID kit for them and have everything wired by someone who knows what they're doing and your good to go. These are sexy tho

As far as wiring is concerned, anything can be done. It's just like installing HID's. The fitting part will require some cutting, but they will fit. Mine sat so flush after a little trimming that I didn't even need screws. I just made a bracket and screwed them down anyway. But you will see once you get them. It's easier than you think. I believe someone had a post showing how to get them to fit. You may be able to google it

Wow, so after digging around I found this thread.

Well, the picture is one I took because those are my brackets I used for putting E36 BMW headlights on my 92 max. (god damn was that blanket ugly)
No cutting was needed with these brackets. The brackets fit very well and the headlights line up very well, but not perfect, you wouldn't notice unless you knew to look.
I'm digging through my eBay account and I think I found the guy who sold them to me. I sent him an email to confirm if it was him or not and if he still knows where to get them (or if he can make them).
If he does, how many here would be interested? This would simply be me telling him there is interest and you could work with him to buy, or something. I'm sure I can figure something out with him so you guys can get some if he is willing. Will let you guys know!

Thanks. It is a hood scoop, but it's not functional as of yet. However, it will be next week when I paint the car and put on the kit. I think she'll be one of the sexiest Max's out of any generation. Will post pics soon.

What make is the scoop? I think there's alot of nice looking max's out there that look very nice in their own way but yes it is a nice looking max. Are you putting the stillen kit on it? I have one on mine and find they are a very nice upgrade. I need to get more pics. of my 3rd gen up but you can check out my garage to see what iv'e done. I still have more to go though. Im debating on weather or not to keep it n/a or turbo it aswell. I have an aluminum under drive pully coming that's no longer made and an addco rear anti swaybar going in this spring. Upgrades can get addictive lol. Look forward to seeing more pics. of your max.
Thanks. I'm not sure what make the hood scoop is. I went to the junkyard one day and seen it on an old Kia or Hyundai. I took it off because I thought it fit the car perfectly. I have the Erebuni body kit, which I believe is the same as the Stillen. As far as the engine, I think I would go with N/A for now, and the turbo when I have more funds to maintain it...and enjoy it! Post pics!

I don't suggest the headlights Badazz is using at least not in the form you would get them. They are worse than stock output as they come. Maybe with a nice HID kit you can get better visability, but I found them to be horid when I had them.
The US spec (plastic lens) E36 lights are not that expensive, running a couple hundred bucks and are better than stock from the start. You can get the Euro spec (glass lens)for a little more that has a projector for low beam. Updgraded with HID and the output is phenominal.
I found the US spec housings easier to install, but they do take some modification/work. If you're not comfortable around cutting and metal shaping/fabbing then this will be a hard project for you.
The housings Badazz uses are almost bolt in.....well, in comparison to the US or Euro spec E36's.

When I first got them the range was terrible, but you cant get these lights and not add a nice HID kit to them! That's pointless. With the HID's, they are great. I posted pics before, or you can just check my page. Anything can be done to fix that, fairly easy at that if you know a good electrician or fabricator. Emerald Performance down here in south Fl. just makes any and all jobs seem easy. There's nothing they cant do so when people say in other posts that these cars cant be stanced and ride comfortably, I will prove that theory wrong....with 19in rims. So go for looks and price, then mods can be done to fix reliability and other issues. That's just my methodology.
