you may note there are no pics of these fitted to an E30, thats cause the E36,E39 and E46 have different diameter lights, so if i was a betting man i would put a fairly substantial amount of money on these not fitting inside an E30 light as they would be too big.

look at my guide in the articles section on DIY smoked lights, that explains how to open the light up if you do go ahead with the fitting.

and call me silly but there appears to be no difference in any of the angel eyes you have given links to above (except the prices!!)

all these work in the same fashion, a LED light shines light in to a glass or plastic tube, total internal reflection effectively guides the light along the tube in exactly the same manner as a fibre optic cable, slots are cut in the tube perpendicular to the tube, these cuts scatter the light and makes the tube appear to glow.... the angel eye is born...

good luck
