I've done it before on other cars, but these are pretty damn expensive headlights so I'd be scared to do it. There are a few people that did it on the forums and it seems like they were saying it's a PITA and a lot harder than your average Honda/Acura/Subie, ect. I'd rather pay the $300 and get it done right, from someone that does it everyday, personally...

bpsu07 · 01-20-2011, 12:26 PM

Sure.

For some coilovers

gstno1 · 01-20-2011, 12:52 PM

What if i told you guys i knew where to find alot of spare sets of bmw headlights, for pretty cheap. That way your car wont have alot of downtime when you send in your own headlights for the angel eyes. How much is this information worth to you lol?

bpsu07 · 01-20-2011, 12:58 PM

Lol, well I have my Halogen's that I can just slap back on..but I just don't want to spend 600+...

UltraRacer13 · 01-21-2011, 07:19 PM

dude you are killing me. I am telling you since I updated last night, the car isn't running right. When I get this corrected, we will run again!

Imperator · 01-21-2011, 07:26 PM

Weird, I updated this morning and the car feels smoother. I haven't made any hard passes to see how it feels on the top-end but I can now spin in 2nd almost at-will (on PZeros).

antiks · 01-21-2011, 09:18 PM

Lol you guys are causing a tizzy with the Mexico races

michael1284 · 01-22-2011, 12:36 AM

We should probably set up a day at the track sometime soon. I'm always down for some racing, but it would be hard getting everyone to drive down to Mexico together

BMOEW · 01-22-2011, 11:11 AM

I really wanna see how fast i can do a quarter mile but i need to change my rear tires. What kind of tires do you guys recommend. I am losing traction even when i gun it from 70 on map 9. I have falkens
