Good luck fitting your headlights onto the car when they are all done. Your BMW projectors are way too long, and without major modification to the area behind the highbeam structures, I truly doubt that you will be able to fit them in. The way your housing sits, it seems to be way too deep for them to fit. Add to that the long projectors and you have some major issues...

It is good to see that you chose to go your own route, but I don't understand why you did not go for the tested and proven method of using all Hella modules...

Even with them, it is a total pain in the ass to mount. We'll see how well you manage...

Let me know if I can be of any additional help.



Thanks for voicing the concern, but im wondering why you think im wrong for going with the bmw projector. The Hella 90mm projector is 5.6 inches deep, and fits like you say with no problems. The BMW projectors I bought are only 5.5 inches deep. So there is a disconnect in my head as to why it wont fit.

The housing itself is only about a quarter of an inche deeper than normal, So im not sure why that would keep me from mounting them to the car, but i guess ill ahve to wait and see wont I!

As for why I didnt go the 'tested proven' method, Ill ask you, why did you do LED tail lights? to be different.

I think these BMW projectors are going to look nice when its all done. Ive just got to get my hands on some chrome trim rings.

Any more concerns milan? Im noting what you've mentioned and ill check it all out tomorrow.
