    I have a kit developed for the Euro Hella's & DEPO headlights along with US Ellipsoid & Bosch Smiley. The OE projector is removed and new adapter with the Morimoto projector is installed in the stock housing using the factory mounting points. I sell a full kit as a turn key solution shipped to your door utilizing the DEPO Euro glass style headlights. Plug and play connectors for 9005/9006 & H4 cars means no extra wiring needed. My adapter reuses the headlight seal to ensure a weather tight seal between the headlight bucket and MLED projector adapter. Printed out of a PA12 nylon making them super rigid with a high tensile strength & low moisture absorption. 5052 aluminum backer mounting plate acts as a heatsink to disperse heat and provide rigid mounting for the projector.
    I currently also support a full HID kit for the Euro Hella/DEPO, US Ellipsoid, and Bosch Smiley. The MLED will fit in all E30 headlights except for the sealed Sylvania H4’s and Bosch Smileys at this point.

    I also offer the 'DIY' kit solution if you want to retrofit your current headlights. My website is working but still majorly under construction.

    That's awesome - appreciate you sharing this! I'm just getting my E30 back on the road, so it will be some time, but I've always wanted to retrofit some modern internals for better lighting. All of the solutions I was aware of are no longer in business.

    Any chance of a DIY kit for the HID version? Old guy here but I just don't like the color temperature of LED's.

    No. I'll find the video online that I saw, and add it here

    May not be exactly what you want but you can use a Motorcycle 5.75 LED light housing. You can a fix it to the inside of the existing headlight bucket assembly.
