So I ordered a clear light kit which included corners, sides, and rears and it turns out they shipped the 4door version which doesnt fit my car. Right now I have a nice set of projectors with glass lens cover and looking to replace them with some angel eye projectors. I found a bunch of cheap ass generic lights on ebay (i call em cheap cause they're inexpensive but also made of crappy plastic with a plastic front lens cover). Here's one in particular http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380187394733&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:MOTORS:1123

I was wondering if anyone knew of a high quality single piece headlight/turnsignal that has halo and projectors. As it is right now, I have hid projectors with a glass lens cover by dj auto (http://www.ddmtuning.com/index.php?p=product&id=220&parent=96)

I've been looking for and cant find a one piece like the ebay listing that has glass lens and isnt cheap looking.

Any advice on where to find a nice set?

I highly doubt you would be able to find some one-piece glass headlights. Sorry :( I think it's because the style never caught on so much, so no one made glass ones. Let me know if you find something though!

Check DDMtuning.com. My friend got a nice set of headlights for his E36 there. Not sure if they'll have exactly what you're looking for but worth the try.

Already checked there, That's where my existing ones I linked to came from. Was hoping there was some other company that produces a glass one piece.

I hope you guys see that he is searching for ONE-PIECE GLASS HEADLIGHTS for his E36. Finding those would be like finding the lost city of Atlantis. Like I said... one-piece headlights aren't too popular so it would be hard finding glass ones at that.

But, good luck with the search. You never know, there might be someone selling these. Let us know if you find any! :D

The reason why they don't have one piece glass headlights is because most of them are junk. Removing and installing will be a pain. To secure the headlight properly you need to access the bolt under the corner lamp. Also when aiming the lights you are limited and will never get the level correct. Plus the angel eyes aren't bright at all. Check out www.Umnitza.com
