E36 headlights..how?

[unsmart1]

Alright, so since I pinned down the corsicas starting issue. And found these on Craigslist. Drove 90 miles to get them for $40!


Seeing as i now have two sets of these, i want to put one set in the beretta, mainly for looks. And this set in the corsica, mainly because i had them just sitting in place of the stockers and they produced more light and this is my work car and i dont get off work til sometimes 3:30am and take a deer inhabited highway home. For those that have done it, how'd you do it?

I couldnt find anything on here so that's why im asking.

Thanks.

Btw...I got 200 miles on just under a 1/4 tank of gas, LOVE the mileage this car gets. K&N filter, plug, wires, rear wheel bearings, rotors and pads, and a fuel filter is all I have into it mechanically. Never was a fan of corsicas, but its growing on me. Anyone know where I can get an LTZ grille? The eggcrate is busted and glued to hell, its a glue bomb lol.

This is how I did it... You can do it however you want... The header panel is completely cut off at the end BTW... they don't fit with that there.

It wasn't easy to find, it was an odd named topic.

I ve had my e-36 lights for quite a while now and i still havent installed them. Ive also asked a similar question before and got no replies ... and yes searching for it is hard to find , maybe this could get pinned? ....http://www.beretta.net/forum/viewtopic. ... hts#p46739.

Here's my album on Photobucket of my install. They're now on Gtzman's car as I've upgraded to a projector/glass lense set. Note that the BMW mounting tabs on top of the lights must be removed if you plan on running a radiator/core support plastic cover.

same here, i got a spare header panel just in case too... i'm still unsure of the looks though... i really do like the stock headlights. just need to sand and polish mine.

I've been playing around with the idea of taking GODLIKE's retrofit setup one step further and creating a clear lens for the headlight. However that's been on the back burner for a while as I have more important things going on. I do love my E36 lights, however. Wherever I go everyone either wants my headlights or my wheels. Not so much my Beretta, lol!

just cut till it fits thats how i did my first set about 7 years ago. it worked out very well!
