        If you put those aftermarket lights in your car you should only use one color. Otherwise people won't know if you are an angel or a demon.

            I'm a bit hesitant to chime in but I disagree with it making the e30 looking ricey IF it is done properly. I have angel eyes and I tried to make it look oem as much as possible using an e46 kit. I honestly like the the way it turned out. It's nothing like that aftermarket headlight with the full circles and the 4 hot spots or the car in the picture above.
            Ok guys, fire up the flamethrower!

                  Yeah in some applications they look decent, but unfortunately most use crappy quality light and bad install so they look like crap. I should post the local ones that have them, all look like junk on a junk car.

                    The front of my car is a work in progress right now and will be for a while but I'll take a picture and post it for you guys. Then you can decide how it looks. I'm not into keeping the car all original but I do respect if that's someone's thing. I like adding more modern elements to it as long as it doesn't destroy the image of the car. In my opinion a nice set of angel eyes look great on a modified e30 but definitely a big no no for a bone stock one. It just feels out of place.

                        Perfect example of a properly done angel eyes mod. Mines look the same except they are fluorescent tubes.

                          I don´t like angel eyes on e30´s, but that doesn´t look bad at all.
                          That being said, OP it´s your car, do whatever makes you happy and enjoy it.

                              I had the tubes in my car before, it was too dull so bought the good
                              stuff and it's nice and bright now.

                                I don't think my tubes are dull at all but there is something I don't like about them. When it's cold they have a hard time firing up. I'll wait until one of them dies and get the led as well. Less trouble.
