I was wondering if anyone has done a "angel eye" conversion for the R34 headlights before??? if so any pictures? where did you get them from? i think they would look wild but i just cant seem to find any pictures or any information someone in the world must have done it before!!!!!!!!

God_speed has done it on his BM 328Ci just before his current GTR. PM him and ask. It was an aftermarket product from the US, and it was a total WOW factor! There needs to be room under your bonnet though to accommodate one light on each side to send that intensity down clear nylon fibre.

I think it would look pretty mean on ur car.

Cheers, Terry

Hiya,

You'll need to PM Matthew on God_speed here at SAU and he can get you not just the pics but details of where you can access the equipment.

I can only vouch for the fact that after it was done, you could not distinguish the Angel Eyes lights on this E46 328Ci from the later E39 5 series or the 330Ci that came later. Eerie sort of look!

Cheers, Tez :thumbsup:

Gee... I wonder why nobody has done it yet? Could the answer be because it would look like ass... the R34 headlights are not round like the R32 / R33 so fitting these "Angel Eyes" on would be extremely tricky if not imporssible, unless the light can go around corners. The only way it could work on the R34 would be to use a different medium to carry the light, currently no such medium exists which is suitable and economical for this application (there is a reason why Angel Eye kits only come in round shapes)

Just my two cents :P

For those still dreaming, here you go:

R32 - 33 headlights aren't round either, unless you have the projector style headlamps...

Just retro some projectors into the r34 headlamps. Try this really blew my mind :P

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
