    Headlight conversion suggestions

    I was thinking about doing a headlight conversion on the pro'. I was thinking like 00' + BMW 3-series. Anyone have any suggestions?

    I would stick with the E-spec 323 headlights, they look great and actually fit on the car.

      ^^^^ what he said, though Identity X did the BMW conversion, and i have the ECE. so it is a question of what you want.

      ECE are euro-spec ones that will bolt in. you will have to modify the harness so you can work the H4 bulbs.

      The BMW conversion i have no idea what all it involves. i do know that there is cutting involved.

              those halos are tight, thats why I was originally thinking bmw. I found a few sets on ebay for around 120 I think I'll pick those up. well once I finish with my clutch which finally went out this morning (6k 4 mph).

                  Yeah I like the e-specs better too. I just think they fit the car better. That is why I have them. Maybe I am biased.

                  The guy I bought mine from I think has another set for sale, headlights and blinkers if anybody wants any. Let me know and I can give you his contact info.
                  I don't get anything out of it, he was just cool to deal with.

                  He doesn't even have enough honor to stay in touch.
                  If anyone knows how to contact him please let me know. clubprotege [at] evanjhoush [dot] com

                    Since you have the '94 model, the BMW headlight conversion will be an options only if you're willing to do some massive customazation or a '90-'93 front end conversion. I too, will recommend the e-specs for your application. They have an excellent light output and look nice and clean.

                    while you're out there, you might as well adjust your air/fuel ratio by smell... and your tire pressure by ride height

                        good thing is, especs are available in both trim years.. just sorta hard to find. all set aside, the mirage 'looks' better than plain especs, but who knows
