Not bothering with the high-beams. Personally I think if you're not looking at them head-on, the cross-hairs in the inners look like a bodge 'cos you can still see bits of chrome.
I'm going to do the pair I took out of the car as well. The ones I just put in I did in satin black. :rolleyes: I realise now that was a mistake. :cry: Version 2 will be matt black.
This is why I no longer drive an E30......

Sounds like a lot of hard work and IMHO, not my cup of tea.

But, each to their own. every one's E30 is individual .. :D

If you like them, that's all that matters..

I think it would look better with both of them smoked but each to their own

Driving lights don't have cross-hairs, you paint the dummy reflectors.

With crosshairs.

Got to say I don't like it!

Even the proper smokies look normal when viewed dead on, but it's very rare you see them from that angle unless you're a midget! :lol:
