E30 headlight options

[m42b32]

So I got to work last night and walked around to the front of my car to find this:

My relatively new Hella H4 got in a fight with something and lost.

So I either replace the one housing (and have 1 shiney new headlight sticking out like a sore thumb) or upgrade the set. Anyone have any recommendations? I'd rather not spend hundreds of dollars. Anyone have experience with the depo euro smilies? I heard they leak but resealing them wouldn't be impossible

Ellipsoids FTW!!!

French them

I second ellipsoids. Depo euro's would work. But ellipsoids are so much more worth it IMO.

[m42b32]

I really do want ellipsoids, the reason I asked about the depo's is because they were relatively cheap but after reading various reviews I have decided to stay away from them. My problem now is that it is pretty hard to find a set in decent shape for a reasonable price, any suggestions?

[Brian.]

of Ellipsoids? check junkyards. Up by me there are a TON of ellipsoids in E34's. E30's though, not so much. Hit up R3v, they're always for sale there!

IIRC you can use the lense assemblies from the e34 with your e30 frames

[Brian.]

Yes you can. But the actual mounts are different

but it'll require trimming of the non projector style buckets
