I finished doing the BMW headlight conversion today!!! Looks sooo awsome. I just wanted to thank Craig, Skymax and Da-max for all the help from their write-ups. Pics soon...It wasn't that hard once you got everything apart. The only thing I didn't see was this gap above the hood.I don't have that...which is a good thing. All in all....6 hours and 200 bucks was well worth it. Thanks again guys!!

shoulda waited till you had pics, but i guess this is the build up to the pics
im sure it will look nice

 

yeah, well...can't run to exards everyday and spend 10 bucks for damn 35mm film....how I wish I had a digi camera!!!

 

Thats why i only have like 5 pics of my car, no money for a digi cam

 

O great another BMW wannabe

Did you do the regular conversion or the Craig influenced one.

 

what's the diff?

 

Go to the link in my sig and you will see the difference (look at the pics on the bottom)

they follow the factory curve.

 

If you can meet me so I can see, and give me some pointers, I'll take some for you. Let me know, I'll be back in Houston on Tuesday.

 

kew....i'm off all day on tues. I'm down with meeting ya again and taking some pics. Me and Mykizism are supposed to take some pics of our lights together also.

Mine are regular, but would love to have them contour the hood though....Is that hard to do???

 

i asked you about this before, but how do you do it with no bmw lense on it. i thought you and the other guys just got clear covers for the max and put them over the bmw ones??? how would you be able to fit them on the bmws without the bmw lenses on it?

 

Let me know when you and mike are meeting, and I'll show Up, I need him to look at something on my car too.

I'll be back on Tuesday, but I'll be on that side of town Wednesday after work.

 

the dremel is your friend. cut off the bmw covers and seal the new ones on to it..

 

what kind of new covers???? I really want to do this.

 

huh??? I never did any writeups for the lights... ah well I'll take credit anyways

 

I think he means Dennis, his write up was pretty good too, sucks what happened with his car though

 

I must've missed the memo... what happened to his car??

 

is he the one where his mom's boyfriend had some plan to take his car or something????

 

i talked to him last night about if i wanted to be involved in his project but i couldn't help him cuz i don't know how serious it will be. he told me that his car is down here in florida but im not sure were though. but i think hes the one ur referrin' to??

 

Hey, where exactly does everyone purchase their BMW assemblies? I'd really like to do the conversion, but I don't know where to get the stuff. You said about $200 for this project? That's not too bad.

 

u can get the lights at a local dealer, ebay, or junkyard. i got mine at a dealer and i spent $180 for the pair, and about $15 for the adapter harnesses at AutoZone.
