Had to cut the bumper in order for the headlights to sit right in and flush with the bumper. Still not done yet. I still need to fab something up to keep those lights bolted down.
so i also have bought the bmw headlights except mine came with the blue tint halos. one problem. i followed your schematics accept after halfway making my own harness i realized i have 2 wires per headlight (2 for high and 2 for low beams) and one extra gray one off to the side. your schematics show 3 wires per light bulb. i have bought 2 relays along with the wiring. so red and black wires i assume still goes, minus the blue wire in your schematic? how to wire that up, if you dont mind answering?. i have a 1983 z28. i noticed on my bmw lights the halos are wired in with the low beams. so would i need to unplug them and plug into my running lights or? its a weird set up. got these lights also from DEPO. heres the link. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...OC%3AUS%3A1123
