E30 lights into my E28 (still working)


Recommended Posts

Im putting E30 ellipsoids into my E28, they arent a direct bolt on.

I didnt measure anything, i just started cutting and fitting.

I finished cutting all the lights and making them smooth, the rings that adjust the lights, and now i just have to cut the buckets that hold the rings so i can fit the low beam ellipsoids in.

My car is a 88 528e that has coilovers, strut bars, adjustable bigger sway bars, and revalved bilstein shocks and strut cartridges. There are more things to come but when i get more money.

Here is a pic of the ring in bucket:

here is a pic of the ring cut, the bucket is not present in the pic and will be milled out to accommodate the bigger ellipsoid. Only the low beams need to be cut:

here is a pic of the ellipsoid and high beam:

pic of what i cut on the ellipsoid and the uncut ellipsoid showing how much i cut off:

here is a pic of the high beam, not much had to be cut off:

Once this is done, ill get PIAA bulbs to make it even brighter, i cant stand the stock sealed headlamps, they are downright dangerous and dim.

I dont think anybody has fitted ellipsoids into the E28, but i want my car to be different from all the others out there with all the eurobumpers and body kits etc...
