These look the best, and you actually get to keep your standard lights.

Don't get the one piece angel eyes... you'll regret it down the track. Save up and buy the ones Nick 021 suggested.

@nick.. those ones are CCFL.. 10k-20k life expectancy.. they do look good though

maybe you meant these: http://www.umnitza.com/product_info.php?cP...roducts_id=1198

for the same price.. just better

thanks for the link though

The ones I suggested are the latest ones, and 3x brighter than any other on the market. I don't know where you got the 10-20k life expectancy, Quote ' 20000 Hour Life Span - 10+ years of regular usage (1-1.5 hours per day)'

The one piece lights are cheap jap units, they don't fit properly, and you probably have to slice the wiring to fit them, (I'll probably be corrected as there are people on the forum that have them).

Totally right.

yea i meant 10-20k hours of life. since im young.. i do alot of driving at night.. every weekend they'll get a few hours constant use

im sure the ones i linked were brighter though..

and thanks for tellin me about the one piece units. i woulda made a mistake there xD

Yep, good advice from the boys there. I have installed these on 4 E36's so far (2 of them my own) and they are DEFINITELY the way to go, the first set I installed was over a year ago and it's showing no sign of dimming or fading.

Looks way better than the one piece set and cost a lot less (especially if you install them yourself, set me back about $160 all up).

I have "documented" my last install and will be posting a complete DIY tutorial on how to install them in the very near future.

p.s. Good choice on the Msport looking clear lights all round, much nicer than the altezza / clear indicators around.

Here is what you can expect them to look like:

Keep in mind that 20,000 hours is a sh*t load of use. e.g. 1,666 nights (12 hours) straight or over two years straight 24 hour use or 6,666 days (18 years) @ 3 hours a day. You're never going to see them go mate, unless of course you get a faulty one which is what the lifetime warranty is for.
