    E36 Angel Eyes

    No offence to people who have them but I can't stand angel eyes. I think they are tacky and don't belong on a car that originally didn't have them. I can barely tolerate them on newer BMs. A good looking projector headlight is perfect IMO.

    :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::tounge:

    In fairness, don't think I'd bother with them now, but the ones on my E46
    were good at the time I thought, that was 2008 though. Just CBA taking
    them out now, so they'll stay put I think (much to your disgust )

    Lol. I agree, I had a set in my Silver E36..... For about 5mins before I took them out.

    Just didn't suite it TBH.

    +1

    Had them on my first e36 myself, when I see them on a car now I think they look naff! (No offense to anyone that has them, its personal preference)

    Ccfl-Cold cathode fluorescent lamp

    Like the long garage bulbs. I have LEDs myself in the e46 but i think ccfls would suit your car better

    I think the depo ones I have are the only ones that look good on an e36. Have them about 7 years iirc they only cost about €200.

    What a difference the indicators make!! They look awful on the hellrot one above but look nice on your car. Do you have/need shrouds on those?

    I modified them with my own cutoffs when I got them. It's not strictly necessary I just wanted a nice clean cutoff for the hids. Yea I agree the corners look shocking in the red 1 but those photos were from a time when you needed everyone to know you had modified lights. Here's another with the clears.
