[eldarvanyar]

I saw an E30 with Angel Eyes recently and really liked it what's the opinion on these?
can we have some pics of those with them?
What make I have seen Inpro on ebay, any good?

Cheers guys

[tylerma]

they are really good
until some little shite tries to steal them

[mrLEE30]

intergate em into your lights, nay one can steal em then!! got mine from surelight.co.uk and yes they are available in white/yellow

by day...

by night...

[tylerma]

mine were in the lights
they tried stealing the whole units

eldarvanyar
do a search for "angel eyes" mate
you will get quite a few pics that way

one of mine when I did them

[DanThe]

Heres a pic of mine



I like em, although I do need some 'white' headlamp bulbs to match

also considering some eyebrows like tylerma has to put a nice edge across the top

here mine, there Depo Angel Eyes Lamp units. Pretty good light output imo better than the smileys i had on there. Not cheap ebay best place to buy them on.

[smithy318i]

Mine are DEPO too. (inpro ones are plastic and crap)

My opinion...they are just as bad as lexus lights, lexus lights should stay on a lexus, and angel eyes should stay on a E39.

I think they look chav on anything older, especially the E30!

[fuzzy]

i have a set on my touring and i think they look cool as fcuk especially when its just the sidelights i have on and all 4 rings are lit up

[FBF]

personally they look home made. they never look as good as the real deal.

[Cotty]

Sal (E30Zone Shop) was saying the other day that he has found a new supplier for Angel Eyes and they are supposed to be top notch. Not seen them yet, if he reads this he might have some more info.

Personally I like them

[e36boy]

Not my cup of tea really, but thats my opinion, there seems to be alot that like them on here.

[ShepsEvo3]

Maybe people are not trying to steal them, but to take them out and throw them over the nearest hedge!

[bigkev]

hee hee i think you could be right there shepsevo i really dont care for them much either they dont suit the age of the car E30s are old skool and then someone bangs on a set of angel eyes from ten years later ,just does'nt do it for me i'm afraid

[mikey-t]

i think they only look right on the car they came on ,same with the lexus lights thing

[Gouki]

its a love hate thing, end of the day its down to personal preference each to their own etc. Think judging by the replies we are kinda split. I personally like them, and dont think they can really be compared to lexus lights that ppl put on their E30's. Angel lights are no way in my view as chav as those tacky lexus lights for the E30. Anyway Eldar if you like them stick em on, you've seen separate pics of angel eyes, now its down to you.

Agreed!

Agreed, just didnt want to say it incase malc attacks me at lakeside! its a personal choice but i just think its a little bit of a stereotype that a bmw has angel eyes these days.

Sorry guys!

+1. Was tempted to do em when I smoked my lights, just cos I could, & I knew it'd impress people. Thankfully I didn't - it's my blimmin car & I think they look cr@p, even more so with chrome bumpers!

[Frenchy]

Each to their own but not for me,i like them the way BMW made them and will keep mine that way with BMW upgrades only fitted.

Just my Tuppence!

[oguz327]

I like angel eyes but wouldnt have um on my car, too new school for a tech 1.

Wouldnt say no to a set of smokey hella's though

[eldarvanyar]

Oh the choices the choices. I do like the look of them but I love the E30 because it is of its time and so different to all the bubble cars on the road nowadays. Smoked Hellas might be a way to go on my sterling silver e30...

[d6dph]

now your talking, and get an IS lip while your at it!

[eldarvanyar]

You're right Dave, an IS Lip is on the list to do, I am thinking about getting dipps to do a respray at the same time as my arches and scuttle pannel

[tylerma]

well each to their own oppinion and all that
but the ones I had were an exact replica of the e39 ones
using fibre optics and an independant light box so you could replace the bulbs
so the closest you could get to BMW original
and I will say they looked really good

its all down to the individuals taste at the end of the day

ShepsEvo3
was that aimed at me saying about somebody trying to steal mine
if it was I dont think its very funny having done the things
that I wanted to do to MY car and some little shit comes along and tries to take what he likes its not funny
and I dont appreciate somebody poking fun at the situation because I am still very pissed off over it

[bootyman]

Like Gouki says It's a love them or hate them thing. I had the Crystal Depo's one the Rieger with Xenon converstion and i loved them. I've now changed them for smoked ones with Xenon conversion as all my lighting on the Rieger is tinted and i think they look fat, but on the Msport, i've gone for the smoked Hella's with Xenons and they are a completly different kettle of fish cause of the style of the car. I think the Hella's look better on standard'sh E30's, but if you have a modded E30 then the angels are the way for me

[mrLEE30]

My opinion...they are just as bad as lexus lights, lexus lights should stay on a lexus, and angel eyes should stay on a E39.

as you say each to their own otherwise i could argue that 16inch wheels are for a Renualt Espace only and all E30's should run 14inch bottletops or 15inch cross spoke only, and an iS lip should only be on a iS, a tech2 only on a sport etc etc etc

i personally like em, but been informed that blue angel eyes are chav, but we dont have chavs here and mine is the only car on the island with blue angel eyes, and it seems to draw a lot of attention from the local lads who constantly ask me where they can get them from

As always modding your car all about personal preference, i read on the RV3 site that most of the yanks dont seem to like smoked lights, and DIY smoked lights are a total no no, do all the zoners agree with that?

mrlee

[bootyman]

Well most of the Zone smoked lights are DIY, so dont expect a lot of comments back on that queation mate

[mrLEE30]

nor me just proving my point that opinions differ, otherwise we would all support Bolton Wanderers the only real footy team in the prem

but suppose thats the beauty of the zone, you can sit in your office/bedroom and competely oppose someones personal opinion without any real recourse

fancy a bit of yanks not understanding the concept of how smoked lights work

[bootyman]

Smoked lights? They look more like cremated light to me mate

[Simon]

I wouldn't go that far as the mods you've listed are staying with the period of the E30, angel eyes and lexus lights are a newer design, and shoud be kept to those cars, not sure what it's like in Bahrain, but every nova/saxo/corsa driver over here has lexus lights on the back, and guess what....angel eyes on the front! Hence my comparison to lexus lights...chav!!

[bootyman]

Well having a Chav car gets my D#ick sucked and that's all i'm interested in

[Simon]

Yeah chav does seem to be a man thing!

[bootyman]

No it's a booty thing mate You go, you wax the booty, then you jet My name is well earned trust me and it's all cause of my Chav car
