I want to order HID's from DDM. I posted this in another BMW forum but where it is mostly US. They said I would need to upgrade to the glass front headlights. But since my car is English spec I already have the glass front. But are my lights okay to take HID's or will it still scatter the light wrong?
i'm the same, hid's with those headlights, not 100% sure on the light scattter but defo better for driving with compared to the standard headlight bulbs lol
I dont have shrouds in mine as of yet but mine are 8000k HID's I need to buy them though. They are projectors mate they will be fine if you get the shrouds.
Thanks for the link. Does it have to stay black or could I spray it matt silver? And why do you only have 1 angle eye per side? Does the shroud stop them fitting in?
It was his choice to have one Angel on each side..The shrouds do not stop them fitting in I have shrouds with Angels too.You can spray them whichever colour you may so choose.The shroud is just there to stop the light refracting off the reflector and scattering everywhere
I wouldnt paint the shrouds unless oyu intend using high temp paint as normal will burn off or catch fire.
Hids will be fine and when you have the lights on you wont be able to tell the colour of the shrouds anyways
