DDM Tunning is the place, delivery is a bit slow but they got the best deal around.

http://umnitza.com/
they have pictures and videos and install instructions for theirs
ive heard alot of good things about their products
And for angel eyes you need euro ellipsoid headlights i don't think you can use US spec ones because you need to be able to open them to install the angel eyes

Octane Motor Sports! Take a look at my siggy
Of course I modded them to get them bi-colored. The oj are actually LED's while the blue is normal 194 mini-bulbs.

no offence but those look terrible I'm comparison to the predator chromiums you can get from the site i posted or from ddm tuning. I would stay away from any site that sells altezza taillights if you want quality parts that look good but mabe im being closeminded

OK so on DDM are the Apexcones the one that will fit? and can someone explain what the ballasts and X-film are/do?

ballast are for HIDs if you can get them they are brighter than normal light bulbs. I would go with DEPO since the price differene is worth it. I have a set myself and im really happy with them. I have had the one piece headlights as well. I will say go with DEPO or Apex, both are better than the ones Maverick posted IMO.

ebay has some legit Depo headlights equipped with CCFL angel eyes. Around 310 shipped. I'm watching a pair so let me know if you want a link.

Yeah I'd like to know that as well, I wish they would put a picture on the site showing the differences.

I say get some DEPOs without the angel eyes. They didn't come stock on the E36. I had ordered them when I bought my headlights from DDM but decided not to wire them up because I had a change of heart.

Well, you could. But I got a friend to wire it all up to a switch for me. I got this nice looking switch that looks like a switch to a NOS, but actually it just turns on my angel eyes. I still haven't finished with it. I still need to buy sockets to fill in the duds, because apparently in some states it may be illegal to have(I've had cops compliment me on my lights, so I highly doubt you will receive any sort of negateful responses from anyone). I might just hook up the duds with my angel eyes, cause I'm running out of spaces to put my switches. I also have to include a switch later for my fog lights.
