I know this isnt exactly bmw related but it is my headlights and they are oem hid retrod and retro'd into a maxima. I made some orange LED halos last night and today. and I must say they do look pretty good. and the best part is... they are LEGAL!!

have you considered getting a hood with flow lines that line up to your grill (like the e36)?

it would look cool IMHO

they make yellow/green/blue/purple/red pretty much any color

Just doesn't look right. You're whole front end looks reto-fitted

I want to buy your car!! So F-ing HOTT :drool::drool::drool:

Why are you showing us this ? Seriously?

wtfbbq?!!?!

Keep bashing him people.. but when it comes to really technical BS with lighting setups, I know who to holler at.

Keep DIY'ing! :buttrock

thanx guys. i understand its not 100% flush but its function way out performs its lack of flushness. (the corner lights are broken hence why they don't look flush)

What part of CT u from?

wtfbbq?!!?!

I lol'd

I think it could look a lot better with a diff grill

good thing my cleaning lady comes tomorrow b.c i just threw up all over the place.

Also its a good thing that halloween is comming , That shit looks like 4 pumpkins are having an orgy in your headlights.

Trick or Treat :)

cool to see something different

may not be your cup of tea... but no need to be a dick about it.

stop trying and just get a bmw.

That grill needs some attention (ie. replacement).

Retrofits are a bitch... props for the efforts, even if it's not my style.

dude e36 non-m's are not that expensive :rofl


just saying...

may not be your cup of tea... but no need to be a dick about it.


thanx man. I dont wan't a bmw. i want a nissan. i just wanted better lighting. our stock lights with fluted lenses suck. you cant retro them. it just happens e36 lights are very close fit. its nice having a older nissan that people don't know what it is. that rocks most cars. dyno video:

10 psi ftw

Good job, your car is hot, you should send you pic HERE (http://www.jimmy540i.com/bmwnightmare.htm)

Damn, what a bunch of elitist BMW fanboys in here :nono. I put over 200,000 miles on two different VE-powered '93 Maximas with half as many problems as my 6-year newer BMW. (Ya gotta get a flush SE grille, though, guy.)

all forums have their over obsessers . but hey. hows it make most of you feel my 94 maxima has more Hp than yours do and i spent less 1/2 the money you did... :D just playing devil advocate. i just wanted to show you depo headlighting stuff. didn't mean for this to be a nissan/bmw battle! :(

i cant see the pics....did you take them down? I would like to see this.

Get some night and dusk pics. That is the best time for the halos.

Edit: beat me to it

:shifty

pretty cool, matches the corner lights.

And even if this is on his maxima its something we can all do, doesnt matter. This thread isnt about his car its about the work he did on his headlights.

That's neat that your were able to mount bimmer lights on another type of vehicle. Good job.
