Yeah in retrospect I should have maybe waited until I was finished to post anything on here. most of the negative comments I think stemmed from it not being done, and no one really having a vision of what I saw as the finished product. But I'm getting there, I'll make believers of you guys yet haha.

Oh wow! I saw this thread back when it first came out. The headlight housing is really cool. I really like how you made the grill come out forward more to compensate for the headlights forward set position. This is going to look real sick when its done! Keep us posted and good work!

Also maybe when your done done, you can compile all the photos/vids of the work into your 1st post. I think this will generate a lot of buzz when complete.

Good plan. I'll do that for sure. I'm hoping I'm only a week or so from getting done. I'll be picking up some fibreglass this week and probably get crackin' on it friday. but you know what they say about plans.... everyone's got one 'till they get hit.

yes and no. The particular lights I've got are not actually OEM BMW lights. They're replacements made by Eagle Eyes, at a fraction of the cost of the OEMs. The halos on mine are actually just 4 small bulbs with a diffuser ring to spread the light around in the circle. Not very bright at all. OEM ones as far as I can tell are either CCFL or the newer ones are likely LEDs with diffusers to spread the light. They would be MUCH brighter than what I've got. I'm toying with the idea at the moment of retrofitting 4 bi-xenon projectors in the housiings, and putting in some dual color halos. I'd like to put in white/amber halos and use them as turn signals as well. I've noticed that people don't seem to see my front blinkers very well in the daytime, so I'll need something more pronounced eventually.
