BMW E36 Headlight Wire harness
Ive been getting a lot of PM's asking about the wire harness. If it makes sense, i could come up with a harness that i can sale. I figure for $50+shipping but it will be almost plug and play. I just need to get a good amount of request before i go out and mass produce this. Please let me know

Re: BMW E36 Wire harness
When you install a set of E36 headlights, you have to make a new wire harness. People are a bit confused on how to make one.

Re: BMW E36 Wire harness
oh yea i remember this mod saw it a while back and im still down for this.. put me down for a harness.. has anyone figured out how or a different light to use to not have to cut the car to pieces? im getting a fiberglass hood and might have slightly more room under it but i REFUSE to trim a brand new hood and i wounldnt mind triming the rad support since i would just simply weld in extra support over it or under it. one way or the other.. maybe make a custome stb that connected to the front of the rad support as well as the firewall?? u should post up a few links to the different lights avaible to do the swap would probably make more people think about doing the swap plus links to ur build thread or just pics.. now as for the harness ur offering to make.. where would it connect to? the stock wiring at the headlights? or will it have to be run threw the fire wall? and up the coloum?.. but either way im down if u make the harness mark me down for the first set please..

Re: BMW E36 Wire harness
oh and ramair21 your car is HOT.... OMFG.. that stance is perfect.. i would add only 1 thing... a hawks 5in spoiler.. well maybe make my own since there has been so many problems with hawks spoiler .. but that would just put the icing on the cake for ur car.. either way its gorgous

Re: BMW E36 Headlight Wire harness
on my berlinetta i did the silverado headlight mod its less dedication lol these headlights are less tall so the only required cutting is the header panel which is a fiberglass panel that can be replaced for cheap if needed i have projectors and you can get ones with halos and all types if you search for UDAMON on the forums he has a post on how he did it i followed that the wiring is simple and the headlights are way cheaper

Re: BMW E36 Headlight Wire harness
Can you explain it more as all? As im still confused on what you do to wire them. I was gonna use HID's in them so I dont know if that changes anything

Re: BMW E36 Headlight Wire harness
Mine for some reason came prewired with HIDs when I got then from the seller on EBAY and now I got to track down what he did to make sure it works. Do you have any pics or let me know how you wired it up. Im starting the swap ASAP
