UK smoked corners and BMW E36 (mid 90s 3 series) headlights
basic install instructions at http://www.geocities.com/bmwconversion

I got everything I needed for about $150 (used lights from some M3 guy in NY, bulbs, sockets, and some other little stuff)

black VEs = god

 

nice bumper! (trying to hide it in these pics)
oh and nice job on wheel rotation

 

 

craig, that is some of the sweetest ish i've seen in a while...damn those look good....i've tried, but i see its gonna be hard to get some UK lenses...nice work though!!

 

the headlight conversion looks real nice.

 

Someones been busy look nice craig

 

Refer to my post on in the General.

 

awsome, awsome, awsome

 

Good job nice and clean.

 

i think that looks awesome as hell, matches perfect. BADACE!

 

looks sweet craig!!! i'll have to ask jay how sweet they look in person!

 

I like the fact how Euro corners look, very nice and your BMW converstion, AWSM66, I think is the best one Ive seeen so far! Nice Job!

 

I dig it. just a tip, when I put my tinted corners in, I removed my corner bulb. I kept the orange 194 (titned black so it doesn't reflect orange) in its spot. at night, the 194 keeps you street legal (sidemarker) and the light kind of "leaks" in to the 1157s spot, so you see bmw lights, and a bit of orange.

maybe i can find a pic, im tired, so it might not make any sense ;p

 

Looks good!

I want to get my hands on a set with the Angel Eyes for cheap...but until then, I will just admire from a distance

 

Get rid of that damn stripe Craig.

 

Noise, Craig. Real noise.

 

what did u use to tint the clear corners

 

They came from the UK. They come stock like that in the United Kingdom. If you want a set it will cost you about $300 to get it over here.

 

Tite ! When can I see this in person

 

Those corners are the perfect match for the BMW headlights. Thats the best looking conversion i've ever seen. It looks as if you bought the car like that! They need to offer those corners over here in the states.

 

anyone have a pic of the 9006 and 9005 harnesses??? I went to AZ and couldn't find them. I wanna make sure i'm looking for the right parts.
thanks, Blake

 

go here: http://www.sjsh.com.tw/products/harness/harness.html
the 9005 and 9006 look very similar; I'm not sure what the difference is other than a small ring of color at the bottom

I had a little trouble finding these. I found one of each at pep boys and then had to go to some other parts stores and eventually found the other 2 I needed. They're about $5 each so $20 total.


Thanks for all the compliments guys

I posted pics of the corners with stock lights a few days ago. They are UK stock corner lenses. I was lucky enough to know someone in UK selling his max so I traded some US clears with him before he sold the car.
Like Donald said, it's gonna cost a lot to get them from a dealer over there so your best bet is buying clears from ebay and trying to tint them yourself.

ng - I will have to try out some different combos when I have time this week and see what looks good, thanks for the ideas

PJ - I'm back in Duluth now so maybe the next meet will be up this way. Also, I'm still ready to install your fogs

 

ok..kewl. They only have 2 wires on them??? I guess that's all I need anyway. All AZ had was the 9004 harnesses. And the ones I need are diff. I'll look today and get some...thanx Craig
-Blake

 

yeah, 2 wires - one power and one ground
our stock lights have a combined ground for high and low beam where the BMW harnesses are separate so you will just have to connect the grounds together and then to the stock maxima ground wire

both wires from the new harness are black and it doesn't matter which one you use for ground and which one for power because it's a normal "lamp" and not an "LED" which is polarity sensitive

Pep Boys had the harnesses here and some Mom&Pop store around here, Advance Auto only had 9004 ones

 

I guess my wishes come true VERY nice Craig. I am now counting pennies to do this conversion. Some halos and projectors would be pimp, but I guess we can only do so much. Nice job craig. And yes, AWSM66's is some of the best work I have seen so far.

|C

 

got the harnesses at AZ for 3.99 a piece tonight...if anyone else is wondering where to find them. BMW lights next to buy.

 

That looks pretty cool.

 

Very nice, the colors match up almost perfectly and it makes it look very clean.

 

 

SAAAAAAAWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!


-Nice Job man, very nicely done!

 

You are doing alot of hiding lately Chris.

 

The stripe must survive!

 

hahaha, nice sig Luke

I dont know guys, I think I need some "persuasion" money to decide whether or not to keep the stripe

 

I won't tell Craig I sent him a PM.

 

I got my sprints in a few weeks ago and now Im seriously thinking about getting tokicos - the ride might be reallly Sh***y with the OEM struts. Im gonna do this install in house with help from some atl people and my newly acquired FSM

I've had the fogs sitting in my room for weeks now! Lemme know whens a good day for ya - sat/sun

 

you kinda need to around here anymore...

anyway i'm glad luke is against randy instead of me...

 

If I have to, I will remove the stripe myself.

 

guys, I took a bunch of better pics tonight of the lights and now my lighted UK corners
