Is this a bolt on? (BMW lights)

Yeah, I know I can do it myself, but for the $200 that you all say that these cost to do, this is a good deal, (I think)

Check it out

Just wondering if these also require modification, or did somebody just answer my prayers and make this a bolt-on?

no you cant bolt that right in

the lights require at least cutting the stock headlight bracket a bit and usually some cutting or bending of the radiator support
check out www.geocities.com/bmwconversion

this is still a custom job but it's not all that bad, you can do it if you put some time into it

I got both headlights with all 4 bulbs for $85 shipped (used from some BMW guy in NY)

I thought so, but what make these worth $200+ vs. the $85-$120 that I've seen for just the E36 lights?

Clarification:

$200 plus is for factory BMW lights (better quality!). $85 was his price for a set Craig found used. The $120 is for aftermarket BMW lights (cheaper construction). That's the breakdown of pricing and reason for difference.

I want the angel eyes for mine....I looked at you site, but couldn't afford the whole set at the time. You're selling just the eyes, right??? Is it to hard to heat up the seal around the lens and glue on the eyes???? I've heard it's a PIA though.
