Modified Z3 Headlights (Projectors)

[Lee]

I spend some time looking on a few other forums reading infomation on z3's builds.

Some guy has uprated his own z3 headlights to projectors.

What do you guys think?

I like the look of these and would be interested on a how to guide.

Look good to me Lee.

They look similar to Angel eyes, so I suppose it depends on the cost to do the modification.

Looks ok mate. But like Zedonist says depends on cost over Angel eyes. I had a set on the Z3 and cost £229 the set for chrome ones

 

[zedonist]

Mine were £199, I imagine the parts could be cheaper though, time for an ebay trawl

Those are nice but I saw on bimmerforums in the US last year a conversion I really liked and spoke with the chap, must dig out the emails.

Has a guide in that post too (click the link in first post).
In this version just the dipped beam was changed so the original high beam remains keeping that OEM look ( I don't like how the smaller diameter rings look, prefer the 'cropped' look of the originals, more retro and period to my eye).

I would love to do this on mine, brings the headlights right up to date in my opinion.

The HID retrofit kit is about £70 for two modules, four modules would make it £140, so within the bounds of doable.
