Hid projector retrofit question

[Aelfwine]

I will probobly try and swap the black housing from my stock headlights, maybe that'll fix it.

A little problem though. Not sure why its that way.

The passenger side is better but still has that misalignment. Shouldn't they be in line with the corners? I'm pretty sure I put everything together right and aimed the headlights properly. I used TYC headlights for this project. Are they just crooked cuz they're cheap?

I'd like some shots of the output please. Seriously considering this. I'm really missing the bi-xenon on my 135i. . .

Looking for clear corners and blinkers. Anybody knows where to buy those? Ebay, only found blinkers but no corners. I have a 2002. Btw, are 96-98 corners the same as 99-02? I mean, are they interchangeable?

The corners would be different as they match the headlight differences in the years. I have some 99-02 clear corners if you are interested?

Although headlights are different, the factory corners are the same for all 3G. Here is the applications list for the right side:

But he's not talking about factory corners. He's talking about the clear corners and they are different.

99-02 are more clear and lines go horizontal

96-98 lines are vertical and not as clear

But he didn't ask if they were different (Well, once he clarified.) He knows they are different visually. He asked if they would interchange. Since they both replace the same factory part, presumably they will.

I hope you don't think I was trying to have an attitude, I was just meaning like obviously as you already know parking lights wouldn't be on all the time. I think by the fact that he said he wanted to hook them up to the DRL's would mean that he wanted them to be on all the time and work as DRL's.

Nah I wasn't bro. I was just kinda confused in the beginning of what he really wanted to do. lol

How much would you want for them? I'm in Toronto, so would you be willing to ship?

Are you going to paint inside the corner lights so it matches?

I might, I will se how they look first. But if I do, wouldn't it reduce the brightness of the leds I want to put in there?

 

[BrianSD_42]

I'm not sure if you saw my pics ....

I opted to leave the corner lights disconnected but I first painted the insides to match and put some white bulbs in.

I just Didn't think the corner looked good lit up. So I connected those wires to my halos instead.

 

[Aelfwine]

I want to put switchback leds in both corners and blinkers and wire them so they will be lit up all the time and blink with the turn signals
