Aftermarket in the 80's and 90's. The pic is a repost. I hate them. I think they take away from everything that is E30 imo.

They belong in the past :eek:

I think they look completely shite, IMO the best feature of an E30 is the front end, why change it ?

Only the same thing as the old dub boys putting Jetta grills on their Golfs back in the day, striving to be different! Looks shiter on an E30 than it does on a Golf, and that's saying something!! :eek:

Used to be a "nice" chocolate brown one of these around my parts. I believe they are made by Kamei (sp)??
I rate them with some of the zender kits - should have stayed in the 80s

'74 Polaris 2002 (mmmm, retro)

i think they look cool and different. bit like some of the flatnose 911s from the 1980s. not keen on the eyebrow.

i have seen a e21 with these square lights.

rounds ones best though.

They look similar to the lights on a vw t25. I wonder if they're the same size?

Jetta grill and lights looked sh!te on a MK2 Golf, Cheapskates way of getting rid of the round lights....

Proper Rallye front end conversion was big money and the proper way to do this.....Looked great aswell.

That first pic looks pretty sweet, done properly! I wouldn't say I prefer it to an original, but it does look good, so if you just want to be different, at least it still has four lights.

Funniest thing in the world are the council "twin headlight conversions" that are a sticker over a normal headlight with 2 holes in. I can't stop laughing to myself when I see those pieces of wxxk!

Square lights are not for me! I agree with those who have said the four rounds are what makes an e30 look the way they do, quad lamps should defo stay in the past imo :)
