What year BMW did you pull those from? Do you have pix of the light pattern (cutoff) at night? Are they adjustable?
As stated below, he got them from Ebay. Although he may know what year/model they are from. I thought they looked alot like these. Not sure if that helps any. http://www.bmw.com/com/en/newvehicl.../allfacts/ergonomics_adaptive_headlights.html
just go to year one and buy some angle eyes if you really want them...they go right in, dont require any cutting or mods, and all youll need is a lil wiring harness adapter to run them, or if your good at wiriing you can make your own
I found a Ebay ad for the projector beam headlights I used. They're the E34 5 series models 525i 535i 540i 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 and the E32 7 series models 735i 735il 750il 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 headlights. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW-...ptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories -Josh
I had planned on using the BMW projector lgihts but I didn't want to relocate my battery and windsheild washer bottle. I found these for $123.00 on line from KT Camups Inc. They are glass lensed with chromed plastic backs. They came with the bright white Haligon bulbs and wire addapers all in one kit. The bulbs give off a blue reflection in the day but are bright white at night. I'm not quite sure how I feal about the blue tint but they will get noticed. The blue stands out in these photos more than normal thanks to the flash of the camera. I had to file the core support in a couple places for each light but they are pretty to install and they look great. I think mine are very similar to the Matrix 09-1049 on Summitracing.com. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/GRM-09-1049/
The blue tinted bulbs are the "Cheap" standard bulbs most aftermarket manufacturers put in. You can upgrade them to Silverstars, PIAA's or pop in a HID kit, depending on what look you're after. Those look awesome, by the way. Are your angel eye rings a fiber optic LED or backlit with several bulbs on the outer edge of the housing? -Josh
LowFlylark: Do you have a web address for KT Camups Inc? I'd love to see a couple of pics of the installation where you had to modify the core. Those look awesome! I want a set...
I have all the nose off my car again so it will be very easy to get you some photos of both the light bucket mods and the core mods. You can do the mods with just a rat tail file and a hack saw. I will pull out my paperwork and get you the info on the seller too. My set has three bulbs each, the center high/low main bulb and two small bulbs that reflect inside a cavity around the backside of the lens to lgiht up the ring. I'v seen a couple others that are similar but the ring doesn't light evenly on those. These aren't the highest quality to look at from the backside, but they are easy to install and once installed they are show quality from the side that everyone else will see. I will likely replace my bulbs. The blue isn't going to tie into my colors, but I will run them like this for a while.
I found these on eBay. Same set as mine, better price.ou: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/H500...ptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories
Here are the mods you will need to make to the light buckets, the mounting plate and the core support for the halo bulbs and wires. This was a 1964 Skylark application. Not much to see. Only thing you need is the small releaf radius marks on the left and right side of each large hole. The biggest modifictions are in the buckets. Sorry the photo with the wire is a little blurry.
I'm interested in doing this as well, but am unsure of how they look in the dark. DO you think you could take some pics of the halo's and the lows/highs at night? Thanks.
forgot about this thread. I installed my "Halo's" and they look cool but only really at night, because you can't see them during the day, they are not that bright. there was no modification for my core support (but i have a different support them most people here) and the stock headlight plug worked wth no modification. the only thing i needed to do was to run a power wire to the halo's and run a ground for each. I also installed a "LED" style dome light with a "Theater style" dimmer (like the new cars have) which makes the light slowly dim to off after the door is shut. adding to the high tech for old iron theme, also added keyless entry, power door locks, and power windows. also going to add a trunk popper and TRY to do remote controlled power windows to work with the power door locks where the key fob will roll the windows up and down.
I like the gadgetry! I want to do a power window/door lock upgrade. Where did you get the LED domelight? Mine is beat and a good bump in the road knocks the bulb out. Did the slow dimming feature come with it or was it another part? I have my car all wired up for remote starting. I just have to install the remote part. I had it installed for a while when it was Q-jetted, and it started about 75+% of the time. I should be able to get it to start pretty dang reliably with the EFI and IAC. Standard neutral safety switch on the clutch pedal for when I'm starting it, and I ran the remote start through the TKO's neutral safety switch so it'll only work with the trans in neutral.
Also, on our cars, I've considered wiring in the front parking lights up like daytime running lights since the front is clear, and relatively bright.
Looks good Wormwood. I was thinking about making mine driving lights and I wondered if they would be bright enough to see during the day. (wishfull thinking) Mine are out of the car and back in the box for now. Working on getting the car in paint. I also set my car up with remote start and all the electronic gizmose. It's amazing the options on powering up everything from the remote. I plan to make the top and all the windows go down with a push of a button because that's just cool.
Silver Buick, i got the led dome light and dimmer from classic industries. (dont you have their "nova" catalog, they have alot of parts that fit our cars) they also have a "gadget" that keeps the radio on when the car is shut down until a door is opened. i like the auto start idea, except that i dont have my neutral safety switch hooked up. thanks lowflybuick. if you have a convertible a remote switch would be sweet!
Try: http://www.hamsarstore.com/ I have one of their DRL modules on my BII and thy only come on when the vehicle is running.
Do you still have those blue 194 bulbs in there or have you replaced them? Is it possible to get head-on pictures of the angel eyes?
Hey guys I have a 1970 Skylark and was wondering if there was anyway to retrofit my headlights with projectors. I already have the projectors, I just need to know if there is anyway to put them in the headlights?
