That's an E46

The clear ones look great to me, just like they did when they left the factory.

Smoked ones look broken. Just like the one that had been weathered and stained that flew off on the M4. Plenty people have them on forums but they look extremely boyed up and IMO would go against the style of my car.

I know its an e46 - i did own it

I posted that pic as an example of how smoked jobbies can match headlights..

To me your clears look totally out of place against dark headlights, however the smoked jobbies you posted look cheap and shit.. Cant you get better qaulity ones?

John-d spoiler alert.


Mine looks like it when if was designed. Perfect IMO! The 46 especially in silver suits the smoked ones deffo. But not on an E36. The ones robin posted are the equivalent to the ones on your m3. Made by same company etc

I like the smoked rears they do. Rare to find though. Not much stuff available like there was a few years ago as they aren't that common any more

Mrs Jambo has made page 54 worth viewing!

Glad you have finally finished the lights, seems like it's taken a year to get a finished set

Ive had no time or means to carry on with the proper set as ive been busy with more important things like sticky brake calipers and holiday/wedding planning.

Got a 12v powersupply now, just need to fab up some croc clips and then I can finish them off and install!

Installed some ICE and re did the microphone. Not 100% happy with install neatness, but will work on that.

Got to sort two bits of suspension but have zero cash. RTAb's need doing as do the front top mounts!

I think the current lights suit it best imo however i dont like the indicators but the choice of replacement is no improvement on the current......again imo

Looks lovely though mate, love the attention to every little detail lol

I might sell them soon James as the xenons will be ready soon. I'm not sure they work all that well now being delensed? Beam output looks a bit harsh.

Little teaser of my painted calipers and ///M badge whoring
