I can't help liking the orange headlight rings though

How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

But congratulations on thinking outside of the box and expressing the truly individual way that your mind works !

What sort of distance do you get with these on? Would it be a bit like driving with your front fogs on?
I recon it you did them witht he air scoops on the spliter it look pretty good.
Let's face it the e30 never been one for brilliant headlights so any extra help is worth it , but as long as it don't dazzel on comming traffic.

the idea is to make your car more visible to others in daylight, like the twinkly fairy lights on audis and mercs. not that a random black, white and orange e30 needs any help being more visible
i doubt they do anything at all to improve overall lighting in the dark

i can fit these to your Sport if you like polsta,
although higher up on the car would be better imo. it will take a little while longer to drill the 40 holes in your bonnet though

Ah like motorbikes having their lights on to help be seen type of thing. I hate them on Audis , think they just look so out of place. Never noticed the new Mercs had them.
