:D Ahh those nice BMW lights...

I remember seeing a website,I think it was

http://www.gochimaru.com


He had a detailed install of those exact lights in his 510.

I havn't checked to see if that website still works.

If I can track it down i'll post it.

If those are BMW elipsoid lights, then yes. They require some modication to your dime. I haven't done them and I don't remember, but I did read about it. YES IT CAN BE USED

If I remember Aaron who makes the rear disk brackets has them on his car. I will try and get his email for you.

Yeah, I've seen a tech article about using those BMW lights. There used to be a site around with tons of tech stuff and he had a really nice 2 door... Mark B or Mike B or something like that. But I think the website has since disappeared.

I think that website was http://www.datsuns.com . That was SUCH a great site, but yeah now it's not much of anything. Theres a homepage , but no links work. It had a MASSIVE amount of obscure info and tech stuff. Sad to see it isn't around anymore.

OH YEAH!!!!!!!!!! :D

I am so excited. I thought the website was bad, but it just doesn't work with mozilla, it only works with internet explorer. Anyway I haven't check to see if it's on there, but EVERYONE NEEDS to look at this site. SO MUCH info!!!!!

Yep that is the one!! The headlights look a little different, but isn't that half the fun of the "project car"
