Kamei square headlights?

Awful!

Round headlights make an E30, it won't be an E30 anymore with these pieces of crap.

They should all be rounded up and smashed up so no poor E30 has to go through the torture of having them fitted!

looking at the lights i would imagine the US spec audi GT coupe lights (Like on the early quattro rally cars) would do the job, only thing is thay are sealed beam units and not very bright i believe.
would be nice to see something a bit different driving around! be individual and go for it!

I think they look too 'Delorean'
Remember seeing those types of lights fitted to Mk1 golfs many years ago and they didn't look too bad on them.
I think they take away the character of the E30 though and personaly wouldn't want them at any cost!

Well, I don't want to be a pariah - but I reckon if the chump who fitted those had put them on straight it'd look OK.
I could think of better things to spend money/time on personally but if you want em, go for it!
