Well, after much too much work, the headlight king has finished the project finally. The lights are one peice that fits OEM style, with angel eyes, HID, and clear corners except I left the reflector part.

Here we are, enjoy:





For the rest of the pictures click this link, and head towards the bottem of the page. Various shots, and some didnt turn out becuase the camera doesnt work as well at night. http://www.webphotos.com/list_photos...&smi=2&a=46134. I'm really happy, because tommarrow my car goes to the body shop to fix the rear bumper and my ugly dented front fender, and the car will be like new again!

Credits for this mod go to Craig B, who inspired this whole ordeal. Genious! I just made it work

 

mamma mia!

 

lose the parking lamp bulbs, or at least disconnect them. use your halos for parking lamps, that's what the bimmer guys do, the amber detracts from the halos.

 

Is it me, or when your headlights are on you can't see the halo's?
Nice job, btw.

Erik

 

That looks hott bro....hey...wat r ya gonna do w/ the other bimmer lights ya have??

 

 

yea, unfortunatly when the headlights are on it does take over the look of the halos, but even on the 5 series, it actually does it too. Oh well. You can slighty make out the ring around the high beams with the headlights on.

Mymax- what other set of BMW lights?

ngthing- Jon, dunno if i like that idea, the way it looks now is fine too me. If i took out the bulbs it would just be a dark space in the lights..

thanks for the feedback guys..

 

It doesn't do it in the 5's. Thats why at night you see the headlights and also the halo's....very intimidating! Hmm...there might be a work around...no HID's ?!?

Erik

 

WOW. That is great. Very nice job. I really like it. Corner lamps look orange, though. Is it just me? Is that how they look in person. Are those amber bulbs? Anyhow, I really like those halos. How much $$$???????????

 

beautiful...

 

holy crap
i bow down you are the headlight king
thats nuts man im gonna trip about that for weeks
now i gotta figure out how im gonna make my corners look
like that too
good job buddy and once again, HOLY CRAP

 

take those to the hospital right away, cuz there sick!!

 

I love those lights, i like the amber parking lights to, keep em. Great job, they look awesome.

 

DAYUM! Now thats what Im talking about it. Those look pimp by the way, did you take that lens out of your turn signals? I thought about doing that, but I wanted to get new lenses first becuase mine are pitted. And did you consider using regular clear bulbs in your corner lenses!

 

Nice...work Brandon,....they definately look nice....now in spirit of the .org....will you make me a set?....

 

Brandon - Mad props bro, you did a hella good job with that. I can't imagine how long it took you to finish it but damn it looks so worth it. When are you going get a writeup stickied for us?

 

i believe i might truely hate you this time. J/K man, those are so awesome though...someday i'll get the time...

 

hey bro...that looks badass......i think i'm gonna try to do the conversion in the next few months...about how long am i lookin at from start to finish??

 

Hmm.. depends. regular bmw lights install give yourself a day. What i did? This took me about 5 days of work if you add it all up, but 3 weeks at the rate i went.

 

what did you do diffrent from a reg e36 conversion?

 

Its a one peice unit that fits the shape of the hood OEM like, instead of the straight cover that the BMW lights have, which dip under the hood and have a gap.

 

hey, u gonna do a writeup on it? how you did it and stuff, what lights you used, how much it cost? that would be really appreciated!

 

C'mon man! You can figure it out, its not that hard



or pay me 50 bucks and ill glady tell you how i did it, haha

 

There is sites that tell you how to put the halos on 3 series headlights just look I found one

 

What you didn't pay. You didn't pay ~$349? did you? That's how much you can get "demon eyes" for. Less? more? Did you buy a kit? Piece it together yourself?

Very nice job indeed.

 

Good job Brandon, they look very sweet and I like the contrast of the orange corners myself.

You ARE the headlight king!

 

Lets just say it didn't hurt my bank account anywhere near there... This was no kit, everything was 100% ok, maybe 95% custom made by moi.. even the angel eyes..

Bman - thanks dude.. yea, i like amber corners. Sorry to some of ya, but i HATE blue bulbs in the corners and dont even care for white. I like it clear in the day and orange at night, and thats what i got plus the cops dont pick on ya as much. And lasty, with all the lights on the front of my car, if i had blue and white in the corners, i have purple HID, yellow fogs, and the angel eyes are halogen, i'd look like a driving christmas tree with all the different colors

 

JERK! Can't even sit my car next to yours if we do a norcal socal meet again

 

i just want to know how you made the one piece covering over the entire lamp. did you do it yourself? or have it done by someone that specializes in that sort of thing?

 

Heh, specialty melted the plexy myself.. then had the shop help me for $500.












Actually... to tell ya the truth, they are just clear maxima headlight covers, which i modified into my design.

 

just like yak didnt want people biting his style...dont bite brandons. seesh.

 

they look great. i like how you got rid of the gap too. the angle eyes are awsome

 

hmm... headlights are nice, but since i seem to hit thing often, they're not for me. i would like to see some pictures of your 6.5" front speaker mounts... or perhaps buy some from you? let me know -
Gavin

 

I dont know whether you have bose or not, i didnt. Basically, i mangled my stock pods to fit my 6" ers. If you dont have a sub this probably isnt the brightest way, because it's not sealed to bass response isnt that great, but since i have a sub the sound seems really good to me.

Email me if you have more questions

 

yeah, mangling my stock pods isn't an option, because i must maintain the ability to return everything to stock. i know there's guys out there who say it's really easy- some plywood and a drill, but i tried that and i have clearance problems with the door panel sticking out. i would sell internal organs at this point to have my 6.5"s in the doors so i could complete my system. if you know how to build some physics defying pod, please let me know!

 

That is really cool, I love it.

 

haha i know what you mean.. I did tht first too, and I had the same problems, so i said screw it I'm gonna make the stock pods works.
