yellow headlights

[barrett103]

what do you use to tint the head lights yellow?

also iv heard about peolpe tinting parts of the head lights as well. has anyone got any pics of this?

[Duke137]

Don't tint them yellow, looks terrible mate

[barrett103]

i kinda like it

[Duke137]

Each to their own but I always associate it with French cars for some reason, think they used to have yellow as standard over there but am only guessing....

I would lightly smoke them or leave them but it's your car dude you do what you want to do with it, hope it goes well

[bridgemond]

I would lightly smoke them if i was you. But it is your car.

[barrett103]

what would you use to smoke them?

[Duke137]

My bro took his headlights apart on his golf and lightly dusted the inside of the lense, he works in a body shop and obviously has too much time on his hands... Not sure if that's the done thing or not, someone else may know? Failing that if you see any car out and about with smoked lights I'd just ask them what they did

[barrett103]

ok ill have a play around, i can always take the paint off if it looks crap, cheers fella

Yellow headlights look seriously cool.

When France removed their law requiring yellow headlights in around 1989, BMW was one of the last makes to start using clear lenses again, and so you see E30s and E32/E34s right up to '94 with the yellow headlights.

Ebay France is a great place to get yellow headlights.

Look very good on a white E30. And the light they give is actually very good for night time driving (hence the idea of having yellow headlighst in the first place!)

ive thought about this, whats the law's opinion of them in this country??? and MOT

[kitch]

i got mine from lamin-x, just google it and youl find the site easily, mine passed mot and i havnt had any police say anything about them

[George]

I'm tempted for the fogs...I think it would suit a white car.

Any pics on a white car?

[Kedge]

[Kedge]

Ollie,. where do you find all these pics?

[Ollie_bwoii]

Stashed on my PC or varying websites.

If you ever have a car realted pic request I can usually help.

[Kedge]

What are the best website for E30 pics? e30.de is ok but i only seem to be able to find stuff on the fotostories, can't get my head round anything else on that site.

[Ollie_bwoii]

I find E30.de the best tbh. Flickr has some very good photo's as well. Alpina archieve is good too.

I suppose it does help I have nearly 3000 images of chromie 2 and 4 doors alone.

[Kedge]

Do you find the pics on the forum of e30.de or just in the photosories on the homepage?

Problem of buying yellow lamps from Europe is they'll be European pattern not UK pattern.
Yellow lamps on an MOT are fine so long as both sides match ie two yellow dip and/or two yellow main. So as shown in this thread you can have just yellow dip and white main lamps.
Or vice versa.

There are places on ebay and the autoshite website that sell yellow H1 bulbs.

There is no difference between Euro and UK E30 headlights, all you need to do is undo the 3 screws on the back of the dipped light swivel it clockwise or counterclockwise to switch between LHD and RHD positioning.
