I need everyones opinion...

So when I got my '89 525is, the front lights were all smashed.
At one point, I had thought that a good updated look would
be some sort of covered light, somewhat like an e39. So
when I was looking on ebay (uh oh..) for some new lights,I saw:

My first reaction was "wtf...". Then I started looking at them,
and realized, minus the bs led angle eyes and all the chrome,
that these lights were somewhat close to what I had thought
of. So, I got them, and they arrived, and they looked like
complete rice ****. So I removed the chrome from the middle,
and finally dechromed almost the whole thing. So now I don't
know if I like them. Sometimes they look so ricey I hate them
and I start looking for euro hella lights, sometimes I think they
look ok. So let me know what you think..

I prefer OEM.

They look good with the more modern rims that you have. Gives it a more contemporary look I think. It would look kind wierd with basketweaves and a darker colored car. It looks pretty decent, and I'm a traditionalist OE freak.

I'd go with euro smileys with city lights

Interesting, but it looks as though the car had one too many cups of coffee. The ringy doodads are throwing it off.

If you'd be so kind as to shrink your auction URL either by using the posting tools in your message or the simple http://www.ebayitem.com/310035267668 maybe I could actually read your post without scrolling sideways!!!! Thanks.

Oh, BTW, those look pretty odd IMHO. Interesting, but nothing I'd do. You asked!

Can you shoot a pic from the front?

it looks kinda weird to me....IMHO the E36 is UGLY...and the cheap looking plastic light covers have a lot to do with that

[Dragunov]

Terrible. If you'd take off the eyes i think it'd look sleek.
Hell i might pick a set of those up and do that.
