Rekpoint Posted May 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 Got my last package of Glass European headlights today! I ordered 2 sets. and A ZKW pair came and a Bosch set came. I decided to run the ZKWs because they will be better for HIDs and I gave my dad the Boschs for his 318ti. Anyone have any recommendations for hid kits?

B C Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 I always used VVME.com and bought multiple sets to have as spares. I got 4 years out of the first set before they started going bad. There are probably some better sources. DDM Tuning seems to be popular but not necessarily because they are good/the best deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisO Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 I have DDM Tuning HID's and they are pretty nice. The ballasts are black and pretty compact so they don't look disgusting in the engine bay. 5 minute install. Rekpoint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc43089 Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 This might be a dumb question but are the bulb sockets all the same on the glass lights? I have Depo ones that came on my car, they have HIDs but can I just get a halogen bulb? I think they are maybe an H1? I'm clueless when it comes to lighting options.

Yeah you should just be able to pull the hids out and put halogen bulbs in. Unless the PO did something janky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know, is H1 the right kind of bulb? It looks like its a bundle of plugs, it doesn't look like wiring is cut, looks like adapters that came with the HID kit or something.

Rekpoint Posted May 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 WoooHoo my hood is stuck closed!!!!!. This is going to make youtube gold. On the bright-side I can install my lip and m3 brake vents. In reality there is no bright-side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc43089 Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 Don't cut anything. It's not that hard to get open. Are both latches stuck, cable broke? I have gotten e36 hoods open by pulling out a kidney grill and working on the latches through the hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have gotten e36 hoods open by pulling out a kidney grill and working on the latches through the hole. Sadly I have done that. I have the kidney out bumper off hole cut in shroud. I have jiggled, pulled & WD40d almost everything. I even tried to unscrew the latch from the underside. Note it's only the passenger side that's stuck and It releases alittle but but not all the way.

patsbimmer1 Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 You can pop out the driver side turn signal, grab the cable and pull on it to get it to pop. Taking the grills out doesn't give you the access you need. I have used a claw hammer to get grab the cable to pull on it for the leverage needed to do it.

Jdesign Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 I agree, you DO NOT need to cut anything. Its just finicking with various pics/screwdrivers/etc to release the latch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc43089 Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 If it is just the right side latch that is stuck, you can just grab the cable that is between the latches through the kidney holes and pull it forward. Possibly pushing down on the hood above the latch to help it release if the tension is high. My cable is broken inside the car and that is how I get my hood open, janky I know but I have a ratchet strap as backup. It's super classy.
