Angel eye transplant
Hey guys, I have a 2009 128i base model with the halogen lamps. I would love to have the angel eye headlamps. I'm on craigslist looking for deals and I see a set for E87 which I believe is the 5 door version for 100 bucks
So I'm trying to find out what models would fit my E82 and what types (HID, projector, etc) would fit.

Mod bargains has a plug in play AE head lamps. Not OEM but what you are looking for

If your car is pre-lci (or you don't care about eyebrow), go with a set of depo v2. Looks almost identical to oem and from what I hear they are quite reliable. Would save you a substantial amount of money instead of going oem, and they are plug and play!
*or your other option can be this - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2009-2013-...-/140938823460 I don't think anyone has taken this path yet. |

I can give you the guts of a set of headlights. You can open yours up and swap it all over and then reseal them if you want. If you're handy that would be the cheapest way.
