    im planning on the BMW headlights......

    ive been searchin all over for a protege with the E36BMW headlight conversion pics...but i havent seen any ive asked the escort boys and they told me it would be easier on a protege b/c the stock pro lights are already squared..its just gonna be a matter of mounting them to sit correctly and redoing the wirng which shouldnt be too hard....

    i got a few pics of them on escorts...




    wish me luck i am gonna try and get some on Ebay or a junkyard.....ill post when im done

                couple things have stopped this project:

                1. hitting a deer
                2. gathering up tuition for next semester
                3. loanss crazy loans...

                but i havent forgot...its still on the list and before christmas everything should be good....

                    That's because they are on an Escort

                    The glass e-spec bmw lights would look much better IMO and can be bought for around $200 brand new. I will most likely be doing this but it's far into the future........speed comes first.

                        Where can you buy those headlights? What sort of modifications are needed to replace the headlights, cuz I absolutely DESPISE the stock protege style and your avatar headlights kick ass. I checked ebay for e36 bmw headlights and got a lot of diff styles. Can all of them be modded to fit my poor little protege? I can't even see at night my headlights are so scratched up (my fqd attempt to clean em with 120grit sandpaper ) I need some help, i'm clueless on this and want new headlights ASAP!!!
                        To each his own... my own just happens to be ****ty.

                            If you don't want to do major modifications, the OEM E-spec lights are your best bet. They are glass and light output is much much better than the ****ty US plastic lights.
