Does anyone have any info on where these can be sourced from?? If they can't be bought, can the original lights be sprayed? If so what type of paint??

I've wnated some of these for ages, so it's about time I done something about it!!

Thirded,

Sorry mate but they are more disgusting than dragging a dog turd into your car and driving with the stench for 6 hrs in 90 degree heat with the windows and sunroof all locked in the closed position and the air con broken

Go and get some smoked hellas.....

Im gonna stick up for him.. Frenchies can look ok, esp smoked..

Post Wed Aug 30, 2006 4:57 pm

Quite a debate ha! I see a e30 in a previous issue of performance bmw and honestly, i thought they looked awesome...Having said that i do like the smoked hella's, very nice too..

Anymore peeps with some additional info, good or bad?? Actually it's all good, as it helps to decide!!

Thanks Guys

A buddy of mine just picked up an M3 in paris and the yellow lights look absolutly fantasic on it in my opinion. On the other hand he is getting quite a bit of hassle off the police over them at nighttime

I don't understand why they would be illegal? surely they still give out the requires amount of light as a set of normal smileys...wouldn't they?

i think Omi has them on his e30

Post Thu Aug 31, 2006 3:27 pm

The yellow lenses are available from the dealer so I wouldn't have thought they would be illegal
