Werent you talking a few days ago about how you were lucky to have the funds to have shops work on your car or something...if thats the case why the shortcut?

I couldn't wait to get em installed :) I have this thing where I need to have whatever I just bought installed in my car as soon as possible!

Anyways I find figuring stuff out (within reason) is fun.

I figured if plenty of people bought them and they blew someone here would say "Wow these blow avoid at all costs." Since I didn't hear that I figured they were good, Some people recommended them.

I would take my car to get an engine swap or some major work done. But installing lights? Not very complicated.

Unfortunately, the one time I decide to play it cheap I get burned. Oh well good thing they have a return policy.

I will have someone take a look and give me a second opinion, I hate returning things. Its such a hassle.

Now couldn't you just replace the projectors with the OEM ones?

you may. i never looked into fake lights for the e30. i bought mine genuine. but why spend the money on fakes to buy real euro projectors?

the cutoffs are not the problem. Whatever is above the cutoff is just a reflection from the gound. The ground on front of the car is lit up great. For some reason it's making those rings but not going through the projector. Some peopel think it's the bulb others think it's the projector itself.

I figure I could have one bad projector but two?

yeah, depo projectors suck. trust me. i have them on my e36. they have the same kinda output, just not as bad. they are nowhere near the clean cut output the oem ones have.

this is what it should look like:

Yeah, I'm going to pack em up and ship em back come monday. I went with new ones because alot of the "MINT" ones for sale are pitted all to high hell.

Jeez, are there any e30's without the check light coming on?:)

you can remove pitting you know. some wet sand paper, polish, and lots of time and patience will get them minty looking again.

Mine are DEPOS and their not like that at all. Mine look like OEM cutt off.

[CHIF8008]

front sway mounted as the rear sway? are they even remotely the same(length/bend spots, ect..) or it much more work than i would want. (custom endlinks are not a problem)

quality seems to be a hit and miss with depo. the cutoffs are nowhere near to how clean and crisp the oem ones are.
