Are there any headlight conversion from the 92' factory lights to the newer brighter looking lights?

Yes, you could go with some hella euro ellipsode headlights. Makes the car look great plus better light out put. I know they are a bit pricy but here is a link to them

later projectors from a US car... I assume you are talking abut the low beams as my 92 highbeams are MORE than adequate.
Then there are the Cheaper knockoff Depo projectors.
Shoot I missed out on a complete set of French projectors and highbeams for under $200 on ebay.

Search ebay fro makoautotrands, or something like that. they will pop up with a keyword search for "E34 headlights".

They sell Depo Euro projectors for less than 150 shipped. Then put some HID's in them. If you are on a budget, which it sounds, then go with Osram Silverstar H1 +50 bulbs. White light and very bright.

This is what the Depo Erup Prjectors look like. These are the ones from the company mentioned above....

Before with my stock US projectors....

After with the Euro Projectors....

it's makoto auto trends... and they suck. I bought my lights from them about 3 weeks ago, and they "forgot" the wiring adapters. They might be here by the end of this week. They only told me 3 times "we're really going to ship them today." Then again, they're probably the best bang for the buck in swapping headlights.

However, if you want something even a little cheaper, I could sell you my old projectors (ellipsoidals) for a very reasonable price. One high beam is pointed down, but I think it just needs an adjuster screw, which should be a fairly easy fix. PM me if you're interested.

Um.. Sorry to say... NO IT'S REAL!
Lookup E34's were Harmed and you will find the Sad Sad story of one desprate idiot's pursut to change his car for the better but soon found out how much of an idiot he was and commited suicide soon after.

Well all true but I dont think he killed himself. Though after he brutal beating he received on BF.C he probably wished he was!!

I think they are great on angels and baby jesus at christmas time.

putting cheap crap on a car just because it was popular with the honda contingent... well that just never said classy and refined to me.

And an e34 BMW is a luxury sporting saloon, a gentleman's car... and so should be refined and tasteful.

You really do get what you pay for. I ordered the Hellas from Abrahams Motorsports, and received a quality product that I am very pleased with.
Just my .02 but as the poster said above, the E34 is a gentleman's car and should be treated as such.

Haha... I like how this came almost 6 months after the previous post.

And OH GOD why is that thing back?! Such monstrosities should be removed from the internet completely as to not give little children nightmares. Or other e34 owners nightmares. Or both if your name is ohnoes. j/k :stickoutt

And +1 on the projector vs. halo light debate.... angel eyes don't belong on e34s. The more you look at em, the uglier they get.

In all fairness, every time this mod is mentioned, it should be done with a reference to the black E34 wagon that also has E39 lights, but they actually look good there. It's in some long-buried thread.

Those looked decent, but they were still to smooth to flow with the classic lines of the e34.

I bought my lights from them about 3 weeks ago, and they "forgot" the wiring adapters.

They forgot mine, too. I would almost asure you they do that on purpose, as most people prolly won't call and demand they send them.

I called and demanded mine sent overnight, as I got mine installed before I realized they were not in the box. Meaning my headlights were non functional, and I was not about to remove and replace just to drive the next night, then do it all over again.

they were sent overnight and I had them the next day.
