Wont work Period. BMW 3 series headlights do fit some modifications though :)

you'd have to do HUGE giant modifications, and even then, i'd doubt they'd fit.lol.

but kudos if you try and succeed mate. seriously. you might start a new trend. lol

PS- Tuff, that's a bit like those lights you had in your sig once. why would you put BMW headlights on a mitsubishi. that's just stupid.lol

You wouldn't do anything. Your the one who would rather convert your magna to a 3L DOHC RWD instead of just adding a AWD Drivetrain.

Puck - Actully there was another one i was thinking of, and looked better then that too. Although that is, sort of, a nice car

crappy cardomain page tho! :shock: :bowrofl: :bowrofl:

yeah but it's stil a "why the hell would you" thing.lol.

thats why we are here, makin our cars stand out, youd obviously do it to make your car look better, not much point otherwise

theres never a better reason than, because i can :cool:

would look slightly out of place tho, wouldnt be cricket lol

you can all bag me as much as you want, in fact I invite you to. lol.

fact is, I wouldn't do it because the BMW lights are from a different car completely. much like using ford rims on a holden or something. Not a fan.

Maybe i'm plain, boring and uninteresteing, but there's no way in hell i'd modify my car to fit BMW lights.

Sorry if i dont break the mould.lol

Your boring. get off the forums lol

...PS- The headlights on that link look like thay're upside down.lol. not a good look.Well spotted, from memory, that's how they do it. The BMW lights are almost a direct fit - When fitted upside down (and maybe even right/left swapped as well - not sure though).
However, all you 2nd genner's - don't go out looking for some E36 BMW lights just yet. I think there was a bit of bodywork modding required as well.

That's Harry's US Diamante. It has E36 BMW Lights too.
He used to have a website, but it's not working at the moment.
http://www.777recon.com
He also used to have a 3rd gen Magna badge on the back (courtesy of yours truly lol). But that seems to have gone now for the cleaner debadged look.

There used to be a website that showed in progress pics & info on this mod, but I can't find it! :rant:
