i've tried to create some ghetto eyelids out of electric tape
but the stupid little nub thingy on the face of the headlight gets in the way. at first i was like, i'll just sand it down...oops i forgot the lense is glass...
i need some suggestions on how to make the eyelids look decent w/o ****!ng up the headlight...
it seemed so simple, but i guess not.
any suggestions are appreciated.

 

are you serious!?!

 

I guess you gotta start somewhere

 

Eeewwwww....!!!

You don't think the beam pattern from our sh!tty headlights are bad enough? You want to make it worse by blocking some of the lenses? I hope you're not planning to drive at night!

 

i don't really care about beam patterns that much...if it turned out that bad i'd just drive with my high beams on all the time.

 

Don't do it. It'll be ghetto and just don't do it.

 

You can sand down the nubs if you're careful. Use a high speed tool(drill, Dremel, etc) and a good grinding bit. Make sure it doesnt heat up too much and polish the glass afterwards to match it up. Also the light doesn't really go out the top of the lense. That would be a really unfocused beam and he'd have more problems then just blocking a little of the top(IE, lots of glare).

 

AND if you f**k it up, you will be unhappy. Just do the e36 conversion. Im goin to!

 

if hes using electrical tape i doubt he'll shell out the $200 for that conversion

 

btw if you have any questions about the bmw lights, read this first http://geocities.com/bmwconversion/ before you post a ton of questions here because Dennis did a joob job answering them and linked to several other how to's on this subjects

 

he who has little faith in me ???

bmw lights is actually quite an easy job...i won't have any qustions regarding them.
and yes i am too broke to afford the e36 lights right now...but please don't rub it in.
i don't know if i wanna chance cracking the headlight cover???'

but if i do i'll just call insurance and tell them someone kicked it in when i was in the mall or something

 

Did this just playing around on my stock lights....they lasted for about 5 minutes

 

whos rubbing it in, I just made an observation. someone suggested that as a solution to grinding down the nubs which is like saying replace the motor cause the vtc's are bad

 

eyelids are gay

 

yep

 

well im'a try it and if it turns out sh!tty, then i'll except the i told you so afterwards.
thanx for the suggestions and warnings.
N34JZ - no offense intended you're usually pretty helpful.
later

 

where'd u get those headlight covers from?

 

Those look like the GTS covers. I've just bought the clear one's and the part # for mine are GT0550C. I think taking the "C" off of that will get you the smoked ones, but don't quote me...

 

i made mt own u can see them in my sig pic and on my cardomain site

 

they're not even mine....my friend put them on and took the pic at a maxima meet earlier this month...it's the only pic i have with my new paint so far.
they don't look too bad...but i wouldn't buy them.

 

I guess you'll find out if the eyelid idea is s**ty after the first rain. Boosha!
(maybe if they turn out good, you could add some eyelashes)

 

my eyebrows have been on for 2 months now and they still look good

 

u can always cut those headlight covers u have to make the eyebrows like this

 

i did it yesterday....it looks nice but i'd like to try a few other ways of doing the eyebrows.
anyone ever thought of painting eyelids?
if it doesnt work, it's easy enough to remove.

 

hey Ryan

i think we have 2 hunt down chksix.....he's no where 2 b found......

reward 4 n-e-one who has n-e-information on the whereabout's of chksix!!!.........


l8er all

 

those aren't bad at all!
