hid & angle eye
 
i was looking around and i found a set of angle eye headlights for 200. and an hid kit for 60. and i think this a great deal, but it wont be a great deal if i cant get them in. so from your guys's experience how hard is it to put in new headlights and change them to hid? could an idiot with a wrench do it?

I have DEPO headlights with 55w 6000k HIDs, super easy install. I didn't get angel eyes but it shouldn't be much harder to wire those up.

Save yourself a lot of money and check out ddmtuning.com they sell several brands of projector headlights which usually have a free HID option as well as several angel eye options. I got my DEPO projectors and HIDs for $150 a few months ago.

they should give you some kind of notice if you said you're going to pick them up, give them some time they pre assemble to headlights for you.

haha im so f-ing excited! ive wanted HID's for so long and now i'll have them by monday its all i can think about!

Nice, what did you end up buying? It really is one of the best mods I have done to my car, being able to see the road really improved my nighttime driving skills. :tongue::biggrin:

jonas 04-15-2009 02:23 PM

^ it really is one of the best mods between the better light output and it cleans up the look of your car by so much. Did you end getting angel eyes ?

Do you mind posting a pic of how the lights look on your car?

spidertri 04-15-2009 02:33 PM

I don't have angel eyes (not a fan of them on the E36, no offense to anyone). I'll post up a picture when I get back home.

spidertri 04-15-2009 05:31 PM

Pics of mine installed, I don't have any night shots yet, sorry.

yea i can post pictures when i get them in. i got HID : Raptor 35W Color : 4500K Angel Eyes : DDE Ultra

jonas 04-15-2009 07:13 PM

nice, good to see the color temp you went with.

jkhania 04-15-2009 07:18 PM

my friend told me not to go much higher then that cuz your more likely to get pulled over, and when its raining the reflection is bad

jonas 04-15-2009 07:23 PM

yea that's true, i've never heard about people getting pulled over but i guess it depends on where you live. Visibility wise though 4500 or 5000k is the best, once you get past 6k it's just kinda the "look at me" factor.
