    ALL IN ONE Chrome LED Headlights

    As there is a thread about headlights already on the go. I was wondering if anyone had these, or what they think about them.

    Found them on a site called BMTown







    Car is one shown on site, not brilliant i know.

    I agree, they would probably look better on a Honda or Toyota.
    They're almost as bad, no worse, than Altezzas.

    I think they look gross, but after seeing some of the pics of euro modded bmw's it seems like they have slighty different tastes then over on this side of the pond.
    Hold on let me get my laptop and read this on the toilet.

    yah, i grabbed myself a copy at books a million. it looks ok, but he also pulls 400+ horses, so ill let him slide. never really liked chrome, but maybe they would look ok if they were black. hmmmm.

    The only thing i can think about them is that they seem to make the front lights look like everything else thats out there. On the blue car the front end seems to blend up like every other car on the market, and lose it's identity. It actually makes the front end look a bit more updated, but at the same time kills the "bmw look" which would be gone in the front end without the quad circle lights.

    I think with either some "grafting" on the lens of the glass, or some blackening of area's of the chrome, or BOTH that they would look better than most things we have seen yet.

    It takes the aged look off the car and gives it the facelift it needs. Now it just needs to be worked on. Everyone else uses the all chrome reflectors, noone else uses the black housings. It may kill off the original BMW claim to fame, but an update to the look may be worthwhile if it is done correctly with some chrome removal and lens grafting.
