Is that an E28 with cliffy-arches?

That must be a USA effort,judging by the front bumper and over-all bad taste...

There used to be an E30 getting around my home town with these lights. I understood them to be from Kamai (sp)?

Personally I like them, not enough to go through the hassle of sourcing a set and fitting them, but I think they look rather cool/different.

If I remember correctly they come from racing dynamics?

for all aspects.. is a pain in the #@% getting them from ebay.. same for fitting them.. and they come from RDnmcs.. and also if you want to find someone else in possesion of this kind of item..
