Hi Everybody... I found these really nice Projector Headlights WITH Corner Lights.. BUT... I have no idea if they'll fit. The guy on eBay told me he "doesn't know"  . Do any of you guys know where I could find similar ones to these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/92-98...QQcmdZViewItem I have a 1999 BMW 318ti M Sport.. the stock lights are all yellowed  out and I want the Angel Eye look. Any suggestions......? Thanks a million..  __________________ *CrYsTaL* I L.O.V.E. my Bimmer!!! |  |  | | 01-10-2008, 04:25 AM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Eugene Oregon Posts: 6,182 |
welcome to the site!! and we usually recommend not doing the one piece headlights.
there are many options out there a good place to look is bavauto.
depos are a brand i would suggest. everyone seems very happy with theirs.
EDIT: if you do decide to get the one piece headlights it must be for a 4dr not 2 door.
the ti is the same as the 4dr from the A pillar forward __________________

No they will not fit. The front of our cars share the same parts with the sedan. So you would be looking for a 4 door/sedan headlight/corner light combo. However if you were looking at a headlight only option, either the coupe or sedan headlights will work. __________________

I have the one unit headlights like the one in your link. I like them, it all depends on your prefrence. | | | | | 01-10-2008, 05:03 AM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: SW Florida Posts: 4,275 |
2000 grit wet sand your lights to remove the yellowing.
get a small bottle of plastic polish that removes light scratches.
repeat a second time...
i do this all of the time at work to cars that need it...works like a charm.
i even did my ti when i first bought it.
good luck.
and, welcome to the site. __________________

well those kinds of headlights are okay. but IMO not the best. i had those b4 and made the dumb mistake of buying for the 2Dr. If you go with these, like the others b4 me said, get the 4Dr model. as the 2Dr ones with have a gap.
on the note of having angel eyes, they arent that well. they're not as bright as if you were to go with depos with the angel eyes. FTW i'd go with depos + halos even tho they cost more but better quality. __________________

Welcome to the site!  Check out these sites for your BMW mods. www.ddmtuning.com and www.understeer.com They have the nice european healight with matching corner. If you want they can even pre-install the angel eyes and hid for you. | | | | | 01-12-2008, 01:45 AM | #11 | | Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: Mesa, AZ Posts: 38 |

I like also how's there isn't a line/gap between the head & corner lights. I didn't know that the 318ti was made like the 4 door. I knew there was A LOT.. of things different from the coupe/sedan and Ti.. __________________ *CrYsTaL* I L.O.V.E. my Bimmer!!! | | | | | 01-12-2008, 02:18 AM | #12 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 |

I haven't bought any yet... my car's been having mechanical problems and I've been more focused on fixing that first. But I am going to get the one piece headlights with corner lights... I've seen them on other 318ti's and they look really good. __________________ *CrYsTaL* I L.O.V.E. my Bimmer!!! | | | | | |
