So, for Christmas, I got my son some replacement headlights and other small goodies for his E46. These lights are by no means top of the line...in fact, they may very well be the least expensive kit out there...but they provide an updated look. So, new headlight assembly with projector low beams (halogen) and angel eyes, clear turn signal lenses, smoked bumper reflectors, and smoked fender turn indicators.

I may want you to stomp on a LEGO brick, Herr T...but, you're a pretty darn cool Dad.



Looks great! BTW, is that plastic tricycle what you climb into to race against your slow@$$ 335...?

Are you kidding?! I take that plastic tricycle to "Run What You Brung" at the local drag strip on Friday nights! It's my secret weapon!

I love Orient Blue Metallic. Best color to come on the E46 after LSB.

I never liked the halos on the E46 but that looks way better than the before pics. Nice work and I bet the kiddo loves it!

That's $800 you don't need to spend. Sigh.

Sorry to hear bud. I've been in your shoes on two occasions, it just sucks when you take such great car of your car only to have an external force wreck it. Sounds like the damage if beyond PDR?

TBH, between my news-reading tonight (yeah, what else -- US politiks) and then now knowing about what happened to T's car, I'm in a pretty grumpy mood. Ugh.

Going to go hug Little Cha and go play with some robots (no joke) and log off the Internet now. Have a good one...Sorry again about your car, Herr Tribe.
