So you all probably know about the thread on how to convert your E30 ellipsoid headlights to the "smoked" look.
If you dont, here is a link to the thread:
"smoking" the high beam requires you to cut out intricate baffles out of a thin metal to form the "cross". The thread links to a template that you use as a cutting guide. This is a major pain in the a$s. I tried a bandsaw, hand shears, and a dremel, nothing gave me good results and were WAY TOO time consuming.
So, I converted the template to an Autocad drawing, which now allows me to have these laser or waterjet cut. This is the way to do it because they will turn out ultra-precise, and I wont have to spend 2 hours in front of a bandsaw.
I am getting ready to place an order for the baffles for my headlights and though I would ask if anyone else would be interested in getting a set. I will be getting them cut out of thin aluminum.
A complete set (to do two bulbs) will be $28, plus $2 for shipping in the US. $30 total.
PM me if you are interested in getting a set. I want to place the order soon, so act fast.
thanks
