anyone make angel eyes for the e36?

[Josh///M3]

Tell me all ur opinions,

yes I want some too. just waiting for others to do it first.

They're just too damn expensive!

However, i have a new idea... The complete e39 my2001 headlight assy w/ xenons from bekkers is something like 1800 bux... but you can buy the my2001 non-xenon's with the amber turn signals (since we don't give about the turn signals when we will be gutting the units anyways) for 580. Now since i already have a hid kit, i'll just install that in the e39 angel eye headlights. Now the only additional cost -- i think you need the e36 euro headlamps in order to perform this upgrade because you are able to dissassemble them. That will add another 300+ to the cost. But once again, since you would only be using the housings and you really don't care about the lamps inside, don't spend the extra money on the ellipsoids, just by the euro FF's for about 100 bux less.

All in all, there really is no practical way to perform this upgrade unless you are made of money. I hopefully will be upgrading to the euro ellipsoids or ff's sometime soon, and that will be enough for me (unless i can get a hold of some e39 headlights at a salvage yard or something for really cheap and the odds of that happening are nill)

It took me about a day or so to figure out what the hell 'angel eyes' were... but here's my idea.

Why not find some NEON rope and wrap it around the high beam housing on a euro ellipsoid headlight? You'd have to do some drilling, but it should work.

Wouldn't the neon rope 1) be affected by the heat generated by the headlamps, and 2) not last that long?

Don't know... it's only an idea. I never actually tried it before.

This is the coolest stuff i have seen in a while! I've always been a sucker for anything radio controled car related....

Okay, I have an oppertunity to buy some angel lights at a very good price and then try to fit them into my Euro's. I know none of you have done this yet, but will they fit without too much cutting or modification? I don't want to plunk down the cash and then not be able to use them. Or worse yet, ruin my perfectly good Euro's. Besides, I am about to buy some Coilovers so I have a hard time justifying buying the lights now.

Thanks,

I bought the headlight/blue fog light/tail light kit for my gas powered Mercedez CLK GTR 1/10 scale....

havent installed it yet.....need to get some really good paint remover to remove the paint from where I want the lights......but they are rucking bright!!! light up my entire room, and they are focused too, like real headlights!

The neon rope idea has already been done. My friend did it on his E46 323. It looks pretty sweet, but he said it was a pain in the ass.
