installed my black projectors with some photo cliffnotes for installation..

got em today and installed them...prob was that my carlsson was fittin back on again too well bcuz the rubber surround on them are too thick...i tried with my stock rubber thingies too wich was a lil better but still not a good overall fitment...keep thes things in mind when installing:

if u have headlight washers...well ur not really gunna anymore unless u mount some typa bracket onto the headlights

first find the thread ta take ur bumper off...

now remove this fender bolt




next remove this washer bolt thingy:




next remove these 2 bolts attached from the fender to the headlight:




then jus disconnect all the wires and do the reverse and ur good ta go...

oh yeah... i saw this big *** wire when i was disconnectin it n dinno wtf it was...then i was jus like fk it lemme try and buncha blue **** started comin out n was like oHhhhh lol...headlight washers FTL

n vwala:







i dono exactly how i feel about em..i guess it looks better and more aggressive but im not too sure if its lookin too clean :-/....i gotta see how it looks in the daytime n all…also the bumper fits like **** in the picture cuz the rubber surround just seems too damn thick and I cudnt get it on rite….i think ima jus take it all off n have the bodyshop handle it when I drop it off next week…

n btw i had sum1 wire it so the city lights dont come out at all and instead when i turn the headlight knob once, jus the 2 halos come on (with the taillights)...as u can see in the pics....city lights completely disabled...

They look really good...why you trippin?


I can tell they look nice..you just have to wait for the daylight. You just need to get used to it and plus you need the whole black package theme to really give you that feeling of accomplishment...black wheels...etc...hint, hint

Hersh,

I'm pretty sure that's the prob...don't trip...just wait till you get your wheels lookin how you wanted from the get-go and your bumper will get fixed also....it's only been 1 day.

Bro, the headlights look good. I wish I could do my own work but I always have to pay somebody. Looking at your car just made my mind up to get those lights

The wheels, a personal choice, you have to be happy with them. I am into chrome and most guys are not. I think chrome on white looks sick.

You are looking good now drive that ***** till you have to fill up again

By the way, where did you order them from???

I think it is just past the point of no return.

Once I got that far with my BMW, it didn't matter what I did to it, it looked fine with most anything. It was too far gone for traditional mods rules. Though I did try to follow a single color scheme rather than break it up into many colors like you did which is the only thing that bugs me.
