Default 1 piece headlights...

Hi...

I am going to pick up some ebay headlights, My old ones (oem) are
yellowish and dull, I am thinking on the 1piece headlights, somoe of them
look just HOTT, but of course they dont show them ON the car.

QUestion...

1) If ordering 1 piece lights, do I order 4 door sedan ??
If so are there any gaps at all ?!?

2) anyone have pics on 1 piece installed ?! Hard to install ??

3) I have the cosmos black car... Would the chrome lights look to
Ricey.... I mean the Pure chrome colour, I am also in the future
Picking up chrome rims...

I can only spend about $200.00 on these lights... any suggestions ??

thanks everyone..!!!

Please dont get chrome....chrome headlights look a little goofy on BMW's....some people can pull it off but usually only if they have a white or silver car. Do you have the link to the headlights? I was wondering about 1 piece headlights myself but like you I havent seen them on a BMW yet only just the pictures of the headlight on its own.

Or just when your up on them.. ??

why does the side where you turn signals go have an attachment? Did you have to do that because the headlights didnt fit properly....it just doesnt look like it should be like that.

Sorry, about the long time to reply... takes me a while to get back on here sometimes I've got a new expensive hobby... www.nano-reef.com

Anyways, you can see the LED's at night with the low beams on... however they are a bit subtle.... which is fine by me because they are WHITE LED's.... which give a blue tint.... so it almost makes me feel illegal. For those that don't know... blue lights are illegal on moving cars in most places/if not all that I know of. Haven't been pulled over yet though... as for the pieces in the corners, they are attachments that come with the sets... One pieces are designed to fit as tightly as possible into the front hole opennings... however because they don't have the flexibility of two pieces... they don't fit as tight as we'd like in the corners. So they come with two pairs of psuedo fender extenders which you have to paint. Two pairs, one for 4 door fenders, and one for 2D fenders. They attach to the head lights via strong adhesive.
