Hey everyone

Just bought an e36 328i, and would like to upgrade the headlights to something... brighter.

I want a nice bright white light... good spread etc for night driving out in the dark country roads :P

Any suggestions? New to this stuff..

Are these a good deal? Would like Angel Eyes also

at a little more then $100 more you can also get hids.
the p36's are not for everyone, the chrom inner part is hit or miss with some(mostly miss) most opt for the OE look of the zkw/depo.
let me know if you have any questions or need help.

Cool thanks.

So I pay you directly from that thread?

I'm not sure which headlights to get exactly... the ZKW ones look good, but I want to make sure I get the brightest bang for my buck :P

yes you can order and pay directly from the thread.
"brightest bang" as far as angel eyes or hids or both?
feel free to send pm your number if you want to chat, that usually clears up most questions and helps you make up your mind on which setup is best for you.

those are depo/chromium/prolumen hid, its the 3rd grouping of hids on the order page.
they are always in stock and ready to ship.:)

Ouchie, little bit out my budget for 500$ :P

I think I'll end up getting the DEPO + PNP+PREDATOR CHROMIUM

Have any pics of those when they are on? And How much brighter are they compared to stock?

you have 3 other hid options for a lower price, without the hid the headlights are marginally brighter, with the hids they are 3 to 4 times brighter and then some.

def go with HID's you wont regret it. Yeah they might be a little more but you get a lot for what you pay for IMO
