well it took me about 4 hours to install this one. the taking apart, wiring, and cutting is pretty easy. Its time consuming because there is so much of it. I think it looks really good.

I have lots of pictures of the installation and will put up a nice how to page on my site. here are some pictures and a couple links to the high res pictures.

nice job.

 

Looks great. God I wish I had a garage like that to work in... bastard.

 

Nice job. Can you still adjust the headlight beams up down, left right after they are installed?

Every 6 months we have to go for a certificate of vehicle fitness and they check that the headlight patterns are a a certain height over a certain distance.

She looks good! Where did you get your lights from? I am liking the idea of BMW lights more and more!

 

the garage is nice yea. and you can adjust them up and down but thats about it. I got the lights from some dude on an e36 forum. I got the other light installed today, pics tomorrow.

 

Block, are you from Ames, Iowa? Just curious 'cause I'm in Iowa City.

 

what's the url on that forum, maybe I can find some parts

 

it would look really sweet if you could "tint" the corners a little to match the tint of the BMW lights! BTW what kinda springs are those on your Max?? looks about 1.7+ drop??

 

Im sold!! What car are they off of and send me some directions please. Your car is going to look a lot more agressive. I always thought the front looked a little too happy on these cars..till now. Good job!
Dan

 

ill post directions on my site.

my car isnt lowered at all, but I have 2 inch drop sprint springs in my room.

yep I'm from ames. I go to iowa city now and then also

I've thought about tinting the corners, I want them just a little bit darker. I would probably tint my stock corners, see how it looks and then tint my clears if it looks nice

ask brandon what the url for that site is I never actually went there he just gave me the guys email addy

 

yea goto http://www.bimmer.org and click e36 forum and just ask them in ther. i think you can get a pretty good deal for some used. i got offers for 50 plus shipping for the pair. dammit i should have bought em! haha

 

Block,

How much did it cost to do the entire install, ie. Wires, bulbs headlights?

 

my cost:

PIAA Super white bulbs, Philips super blue bulbs, bmw headlights perfect condition from a 95 325i or maybe 328 who cares. all for $110.00.

there are better deals then that around


harness' were $3.49 each and you need 4 of them.

I had all the soldering equipment and cutting tools that I needed.

so for $124 its the best mod I've ever done and I love it. seriously anyone that owns a max should do this. it looks really nice.

What kind of wheels do you have (canuck)

 

just a wild guess, but I'd have to say Konig Villians with Falken Tires
he might have bought those rims from Matt93GXE after Matt won some RS-E wheels from Butler Tire in Atlanta

that's just a random guess though so who knows

 

Craig B is right, I got them from Matt. Thanks for the info on the lights.

 

Hey, where'd you get your bulb harnesses for so cheap?

 

jockos auto parts. how much were yours?

 

 

Where did you get or buy your bmw headlights?
