View Full Version : Headlight options for E34
357Choppers 01-18-2006, 08:02 PM Hey guys...can anybody suggest some alternative headlight options for my '90 535i? I'd like something darker...it would be cool if somebody made a clear shield for the headlights that's smoked to give the front more of a later model look. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!

or
if you want to cheap out
laminx smoked rockgaurds which reduce your lights output.

please don't go ebay.
EDIT: unless it's bosch or hella they're posting on ebay, then by all means it's worth the money. Avoid DEPO.

OT: u still didn't hook them up?
EDIT: sorry, forgot you were selling the car. Are you parting those hella smokes separetely?
mihai77 01-19-2006, 02:00 AM :)
and yes, I am selling the car.
But I hope to be able to put them on this if I buy it 2morrow....
romeox929 01-19-2006, 03:08 AM OT: momo rims and acs lip...can't go wrong with that :stickoutt

hakwuzhere 01-19-2006, 09:39 AM Im installing DEPO's today with Lamin-X smoked shields... Im actually pretty pleased with the Lamin-X.... It looks great.. and its cheap enough that if I ever want to change the color I can...
Now, I hope what some have said about DEPO quality increasing is true! If they do fog, Ill seal em up.
OT. That 540 pic just reaffirmed my commitment to get an ACS lip on my E34.
ILoveMPower 01-19-2006, 11:22 AM That ACS lip looks really good, but I'd rather see stock basketweaves than those hideous momos...
romeox929 01-19-2006, 11:45 AM OT. That 540 pic just reaffirmed my commitment to get an ACS lip on my E34.
i concur :D
and post pics once the headlight is on. Curious to as to see how dark the lamin-x turns out.
mihai77 01-19-2006, 12:07 PM saw the car the other day but at night and could not figure out what lip it was.
hakwuzhere 01-19-2006, 12:33 PM Getting a real ACS E34 lip is kinda like finding a E34 M540/6spd for $5k with 50k miles...
Oh, and Ill try to get pics tonight or tommorow.
romeox929 01-19-2006, 12:35 PM seems like a two-tone ACS lip. check for the ACS logo on the lip when you go to see it today.
Goat128 01-19-2006, 12:37 PM If he's gonna do the two tone up front he should have carried it through to the sideskirts otherwise go solid
shragon 01-19-2006, 01:14 PM agree with the others, pick up some euro-spec smoked headlights by hella.
mihai77 01-19-2006, 05:47 PM :mad The f..... jerk off supposedly sold the car 2 hours before I was supposed to see it and buy it:( ....and he also let me drive 45 miles to go see it and then told me. :mad

theDogger 01-20-2006, 10:42 PM It is not a real ACS front lip. The real ACS lip comes in 3 peices and that is one soild peice. Sorry it looks fiberglass. The only proof that it is real ACS is the stamp on the front passenger side I beleive...I will have to look at mine. Also the ACS body kits are made out of PUR execpt the rear trunk wing which is kevlar.
I believe that I have the only complete ACS S5 in the USA. All real ACS from the front to the rear.(thanks to my German buddies!)
