    Anyone know where to get these put on the above car. Have the normal headlights and have seen many versions on ebay. Anyone upgraded and happy with the result? Where and how much did it cost?

    these are the ones i went with: http://ca-at.co.uk/single_prod-cHJvZF9pZD0yNDQ5JmNhcl9tYWtlPWJtdyZjYXJfdHlwZT1lNDYmY2F0X2lkPTk2JmNvbXBfaWQ9OQ==.html kept original housing and just wired into parking lights. i love the look of them and no problems installing them at all. might be cheaper buying from the states with the exchange rate but watch out for vat. check out www.e46fanatics.com

    Got mine from SSDD - Umnitza are supposed to be good, but stupidly expensive for what you're gettting.

    Nope - very straightforward

    They're generation 1 versions, so need to be modified to concentrate the halos - http://www.bmw-driver.net/AngelEyes_1.asp

    The fitting is then very easy

    Looks good! It removes the sidelight bulb from the solution, is this needed for the NCT?

    I've been through 3 NCT's with them (1 on this car, 2 on another) and its never been an issue. They're alot brighter than the standard sidelights - I feel like I'm doing my bit for road safety :D

    I would guess GSF stock them....

    The front are easy to fit...its the rear celis take a bit longer. Expensive but a must upgrade
