So always toyed with the idea of yellow headlights simply to make the front end "pop" a bit.

What's your thoughts on the matter? a nice period mod or nasty and pointless unless your a cheese eating surrender monkey

Some pics to help you decide........

Very French looking, but I like it. May paint the main beams on the E36 :-)

I think they look shit.

Pointless modding for the sake of it. Trying to be 'individual' by copying all those other individuals who think it makes them individual :mad:

The front end of the e30 is what makes it so distinctive. I don't get why people feel the need to mess around with it.
cheers,

Nail on head- modding for the sake of it, same as eye browse and black kidney ,front end of an e30 is iconic and best just how its ment to be. Spend the money on new bits and returning the head lamps and a new kidney etc to make it all like new us money much better spent

It looks like someone stuck their c0ck in the bulb holder and filled the lens up with p1ss. Not a particularly stylish look.
