Any pics of some, ebay is too scary to just buy a pair | | | 09-21-2013, 06:43 PM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2013 Location: Grove City, PA Posts: 113 | Welp, take a look at my pictures. Those are Depos, Chrome, and glass. They got Halos, which were installed by Depo. Very nice set. They make the car. The blacked out Depos are more expensive. The package deal comes with corners too. I bought from ebay. No hassles. Very promising! | | | 09-22-2013, 10:10 PM | #3 | Member Join Date: May 2008 Location: Central Illinois Posts: 59 | I got E36 DJ Auto European Headlights (ZKW Type MBM101-00R/L0) with 35W 5000K HID Low beam Bulbs and White Light LED Angel Eyes from DDM Tuning for $242 shipped. They came with Halogen High beam Bulbs too. It took some trial and error (perseverance wins the day) to aim them correctly and I had to move the Alarm Horn but very pleased overall. | | | 09-22-2013, 10:29 PM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2013 Location: Sag Harbor, NY Posts: 192 | Quote: Originally Posted by R111S I got E36 DJ Auto European Headlights (ZKW Type MBM101-00R/L0) with 35W 5000K HID Low beam Bulbs and White Light LED Angel Eyes from DDM Tuning for $242 shipped.

Now the headlight is basically useless. I have read you can zip tie the corner in place, I havent gotten there yet so mine is taped for the moment. I guess maybe i'd avoid depos... __________________ [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC] | | | 09-23-2013, 12:45 AM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2013 Location: Sag Harbor, NY Posts: 192 | Quote: Originally Posted by marleymon I have depos (installed by the po) and they are nice however after research, the plastic is cheap and lot's of people (now including me) had the slide brackets for the corner light break with ridiculous ease.

They do look good. I suggest doing a search on bimmerforums or some other BMW Enthusiast Website for "DJ Auto E36". The German BMW Websites definitely have even more variety of Headlight solutions. | | | 09-26-2013, 05:46 PM | #9 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2013 Location: Grove City, PA Posts: 113 | Pinion! Check this thread out at our brothers website.... It speaks of issues and known problems/adjustments.... http://www.m3forum.net/m3forum/showthread.php?t=278115 As I stated before, my purchase was nice, got everything... I didnt install them, however to my dismay, the Depos were brittle and break easy when attaching the corners on. There were two versions of Depos, one with non LED halos and one with... I got the ones that were not LED, cause I thought they were CCFL... Which are bright, not super bright... What I received were halogen like... I was pissed! Didnt look like anything in the picture... This threAd that I shared explains DJ AUTO reviews... You may like them... Cheers I'm on my way to ordering a replacement set.... But which ones... Chrome or smoked is the question? | | | 09-26-2013, 07:07 PM | #10 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2013 Location: Sag Harbor, NY Posts: 192 | did already, thanks. seems everyone is stuck on one kind of headlight, looking to go outside the box a bit more | | | 09-28-2013, 12:21 PM | #11 | Member Join Date: May 2008 Location: Central Illinois Posts: 59 | Quote: Originally Posted by Pinion did already, thanks. seems everyone is stuck on one kind of headlight, looking to go outside the box a bit more | www.Autoanything.com has a large selection of Anzo USA and IPCW E36 Headlights. Nearly all of them have integrated the Turn Signal Corner section into the Headlight housing. Be sure to select the Sedan units (not the Coupe) since our Corners are Sedan style. | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | 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 | | | |
