one-piece headlights
i like the look of the homemade one-piece headlights a few of you guys are making with the bmw lights. im tryimg to figure out exactly how it is done tho before i even consider doing it. first how do the aftermarket lense covers fit on there. do they make a complete seal on the lamps? anyone have pictures or anything of what it looks like not in the car. if you guys dont wanna post on here can yoiu at least email me. thanks

I will email you pictures in a couple days when I get them off. Craig may have some pics already because I know he is real good about taking pictures when he works on his car.
Like I said in a post the other day there is no set way to do this. I did it different from Craig and we both did it different from Brandon. My lights are recessed farther back than Craigs because I have a gap between the top of the covers and the housing and he doesnt--look at my pictures of the top pic with hood open and then look at his--his is good because it goes right up to the housing and I had to use weather stripping to seal mine.
I am sure others have done this too but not posted it here.

What about the angel eyes lights?
I am seriously considering intalling the E-36 BMW Angel eye aftermarket lights on my Maxima. The lights appear to be a sealed unit. Are all the E-36 conversions a sealed unit? If so what part of the light are the weatherstripping suggestions about? I have looked at the pics on a few of the conversion sites, but I just figured that after you modified the light housing frame (and some gentle persuasion with a hammer)in the Maxima, the E-36 lights would fit in.
