    Great info. I must say you might be able to convert me to doing and HID halo kit. Your car looks really nice. What kind of HID's did you use? If you havent already you should do a full step by step right up considering all the time youve invested in research anyway.
    looks great!

    I just got a set of these a week ago, and Im not real happy with them.
    First of all, the comment of being a perfect fitment, is pure crap. The trim ring is a little bigger than the opening in the grill holes, so it took some Dremel work to make them fit.
    Then, the wiring harness is nothing that will plug into an e34- essentialy, the harness was worthless- took about 4 hrs of running and matching up the wires, butt splicing and shrink wrapping. The last thing I wanted to do was a Rube Goldberg job with the wiring, but had little other options.
    So, they were a bastard to put in, then I find out that the halo's are really dim- cant see them under daylight conditions, and very dim at night.- wich is ok, since now that they are on, I am not so sure I like the halos on an e34.

    Opinion? Waste of money and time. Next time, I'll get the depo smileys, or Hellas.

    You don't need to buttsplice. There was a thread here somewhere you use spade connectors. If you need to tap halos, use inline snap in.

    Anyway, what bulbs do the halos use on that? You'd do well to post pictures and a short review so that we can all benefit

    Can you recommend a reputable source for a Depo Halo & HID upgrade kit?
