E30 Smiley Euro Smoked Cross hair & Chrome Projector Headlights!
got mine in the mail today, the glass is so pretty! anyways, how do the rear caps come off these? i tried twisting/pulling but didnt want to pull to hard and break something.
can't remember exactly, but I know it didn't take more than a week or so to get them. when i ordered my ST sways from them however, HOLY SHIT almost a month
so anyone with sealed beams installed these yet. Would love a DIY writeup to know how to go about this.
1. remove the 3 mounting screws holding the sealed beam assembly to the body
2. unplug sealed beams and throw in trash
3. mount new smoked smiley DEPO awesomeness where sealed beams once lived using same screws you removed
4. buy DDM HIDs before removing sealed beams (w/o 9005/6 adapters)
5. plug male ends from HID harness into existing sealed beam socket (i'll go look and see which is pwr, gnd is brown on both sides)
6. turn on awesome new lights
If you live in NorCal i'll do the whole install for $50. I even have some nice double side tape to secure the HID ballasts ;)
you do need a dremel to modify the caps to accept the HIDs, but every shadetree should invest in one of these anyhow.
the terminals on the HID harness should be flat male disconnects like these:
These are the female disconnect terminals from a sealed beam plug that was disassembled. There is no need to disassemble, just plug the male from the HID harness into the proper slot instead of wire-nut-capping the third one like this guy did.

I don't think I have those connectors....
