Unfortunately they dont look great alongside the orange indicators. Can anyone suggest a set of indicators and repeaters that will closely match the hella headlamps? I was tempted to go for the OEM white ones, but I think a crystal set may look better, THANKS IN ADVANCE!!! | | | 05-27-2008, 05:06 PM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: maritimes Posts: 1,433 | those headlights are uglier than 1pc ebay lights IMO... i don't think you can match any corners that look good with those lights... but maybe thats just me. __________________ 11/97 Base 328Ti | | | 05-27-2008, 05:52 PM | #3 | Junior Member Join Date: May 2008 Location: UK Posts: 7 | I went for the Hella because I was concerned with the quality of typical aftermarket lamps, but the lamps themselves look great, I'll post a pic when I get the chance. Finding matching corners is a bit of a challenge but there must be something out there that matches??? | | | 05-27-2008, 07:00 PM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: maritimes Posts: 1,433 | well, to actually give advice this time instead of hate on your choice... id have to say look into some aftermarket ebay "projector" corner lights... I normally hate them, but they probably work with and suit the hella's alot more than they do the OE style. __________________ 11/97 Base 328Ti | | | 05-28-2008, 12:08 AM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 | these are the corner lights I have, they are made by a company called Sonar, they also come in chrome if that's the kind of headlights you have | | | 05-28-2008, 12:25 AM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2006 Location: Stamford, CT <-> Boston, MA Posts: 1,393 | Both found on eBay, I'm assuming you've got the Hella's w/ chrome trim? __________________ BMWCCA #403399 2012 Mini Cooper S Clubman, 6-Speed Loaded 2001 325xi, Winter Package, 5-Speed Traded 1998 318ti, Active, Automatic, TOTAL LOSS R.I.P. 10/20/08 Bilstein Sport Shocks/Struts .

These are the closest things I could find in the UK, I may have to order them as well as the OEM white ones and just send back the ones I like the least. Thanks again | | | 06-22-2008, 12:52 AM | #8 | Junior Member Join Date: May 2008 Location: UK Posts: 7 | Indicator comparison Its been a while coming but I've bought both the crystal and OEM white ones, most people have said they prefer the crystal but I'm edging toward the OEM, what do you guys reckon? | | | 06-22-2008, 02:55 AM | #9 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Denver, Colorado Posts: 3,212 | I say go OEM. | | | 06-22-2008, 03:00 AM | #10 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: maritimes Posts: 1,433 | id say save for a set of depo/apexcones headlights.. lol in truth, if you love the hella's... i think the crystals match those headlights much better if thats the look your going for. __________________ 11/97 Base 328Ti | | | 06-22-2008, 03:37 AM | #11 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Denver, Colorado Posts: 3,212 | +2 on the depos.

Sorry chaps, can you enlighten me? what are DEPO's? | | | 06-24-2008, 08:05 PM | #14 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 | Quote: Originally Posted by philsenders Sorry chaps, can you enlighten me? what are DEPO's? | they are a glass OEM replica's, although, since you live in the UK I'm assuming yours came with glass headlights standard so it'd be really pointless to buy those for your car IMO | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Thread Tools | | Display Modes | Linear Mode | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
