[318INPROGRESS]

THIS IS MY 85 318I.....I'VE HAD HER FOR 4 YEARS NOW (5 IN JUNE)......I JUST GOT MY AUTOPAL HEADLIGHTS TODAY......WOW WHAT A DIFFERENCE.....I REALLY RECOMMEND THESE IF YOUR LOOKING FOR AN UPGRADE AND DON'T WANT TO SPEND A LOT OF MONEY.....
CITY LIGHTS
LOW BEAMS
HIGH BEAMS

NOPE IF U HAVE THE SEALED BEAMS THESE ARE COMPLETE HOUSINGS WITH INTERCHANGEABLE LIGHTS I GOT THEM HERE....http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...07.m29.....THE CITY LIGHTS ARE ACTUALLY DIM BUT IN THE PICS THEY DO LOOK BRIGHT.....THEY'RE LIKE THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS YOU SEE ON NEWER CARS

ok. i guess they're h4 & h1 reflector buckets. are those HIDs in the low beam? if so, i feel sorry for the folks in front of you.

YUP GOT THE ULTRA BLUE 60/55W FOR BOTH LOWS AND HIGHS.....A LITTLE NOTE THOUG WHEN I PUT THE HIGH BEAMS IT KEPT BLOWING THE FUSES SO I JUST UPGRADED FROM A 7.5 TO A 20 AMP FUSE....

glad to see that they weren't HIDs. is it safe to run a 20 amp on wiring that's made for 7.5? did you run new wire?

CAPS LOCK!!!!!!

and yeah it does just look like they are upgraded to blue, but they are bright

+1 - bad idea to just upgrade the fuse without making sure the wiring can handle it. I ran new wire and used relays to make sure I wasn't overloading the circuit.

Unless, of course, you have a fire extinguisher strapped to your driver's seat. Post pics when it burns up.
