SSDD Motorsport in the UK sell a kit that you can "insert" in to your existing headlights.
I bought it and while the directions were not for my model head lights I did manage to get them in and they look good.

The only down side is that they have a faint blueish tinge to them until they are fully warmed up, but you only notice it at night.

the address is:

I would like to provide photos but I can't upload at this satge but they have photos of the install on the website.

Thier after sales service was great when a ring and one of the inverters packed it in a week after the install.

I also fitted angel rings in my euro ellipsoid headlights & I'm well pleased with them. If you decide to diy, get CCFLs (cold cathode fluorescent light) they're much brighter than even the OEM 5 series rings. I've got a pdf on how to fit them if anyone's interested.

when you say "euro elipsoid" do you mean the standard headlights we get in the UK?

yes, we get different headlights to the US. Amoungst other things, I think they get a plastic frount where as we get glass.

One mistake I made with these was buying the E36/E46 fitment. The E46 has slightly smaller diameter lights, it looks ok but I'm thinking about getting some larger ones so they fit perfectly.

Lights off - check out my new mirrors :biggrin:

[stormos]

they are top guys ;)

[halek]

You brought them from the states stormos?
Hope you specified they were for a right hand drive car mate.

[davep-uk]

those look nice halek. did they come with inverters? did they take ages to fit?

like the M3 Mirrors by the way. :cool:

[stormos]

it doesn't matter halek as the light beams are adjustable ;)

but they knew it was for a uk car too as i needed a pnp harness

cheers...yup, CCFLs come with inverters as they are actually mini fluorescent tubes. They took a morning to fit, it's a bit fiddly but pretty straight forward really. I'm loving my new mirrors, the baseplates need respraying but that can wait till it warms up a bit.

[stormos]

i need to get m3 replica mirrors. where'd you get yous halek?

[halek]

They're genuine OEM, got them for £150 from ebay.

[stormos]

£150! think i'll get the fakes ;)
