They look good on a lexus but not on a BMW.

They look fine on Lexi, however, that's about all and just look tacky on most other cars!

Fitting these to a Beemer will lower it to the level of Corsas, Saxos and Novas!

If anyone like old cars with big BMW engines, take a look at www.gt6.org.uk
sign the guestbook, you know it makes sense!

I really think it is sad though that other manufacturers try to copy the design concept. Lexus came up with an original idea. Mazda copied it with the 6 as did many other manufacturers (just can't think offhand) including our very own BMW with the E46 compact - shame on them!

I doubt they would be too happy if other manufacturers started producing cars with angel eyes!

Very sad indeed!

Why would you want your car to look like every other saxo, 206, or clio on the road.

I think they're hideous, especially when they aren't on a Lexus.

Like the new led lights I've seen on a few new bm's.

Thought about getting some clear indicators for the front of my compact, but the orangs standard ones look ok with the body colour, so unless I see another one to compare, I won't bother at the mo.

Anyone have any veiws on the eyebrows you can get for the headlamps, E46 style lower ones, any pics of anyones E36 with them on?

Led's are good, I agree. Don't know if I would fit to an E36 tho', not mine anyway. I tried the LED bulbs in mine as I like the instant light on brake and indicate but take my advice and don't bother! They are more hassle than they are worth.

Jury is out on the eyebrows- upper are ok if thats you thing I suppose but lower??? hmmmmmm
