Message Those are angel eyes, but I had a broken lens (Depo does not sell replacements) so I put in new Depo's and decided not to get angel eyes this time around.

Here is some valuable feedback on angel eyes and Depo headlights:

My angel eyes were CCFL (or whatever) and while they looked great during the summer, winter would prove too cold for the igniters and I'd end up driving around with one or two angel eyes on, one completely off and one blinking. Do NOT buy CCFL angel eyes if you decide to buy any make sure they are LED. Be prepared, the cost jumps significantly from CCFL to LED.

Any BMW enthusiast is going to make fun of you having angel eyes on a E36. Sadly, I agree they look stupid even though they are really neat.

Depo headlights are awesome. Anyone driving a E36 chassis without these is an idiot, imo. The difference in light output is amazing and the overall appearance change is very noticeable. They still look factory but the glass is smooth and absolutely clear. Make SURE you order the protective lamin-x shields for them or you will be in the same boat as me eventually (broken lens).

All of these things can be purchased from ddmtuning.com. There is another option for headlights from DJ Auto (still purchased from ddmtuning) but I have no hands on experience with them. I have heard the plastic is cheaper and prone to breaking. So you end up having the mounts break and the headlights start moving around. I've been extremely pleased with my Depo's, so I recommend them only. I'm using 35W ddm slim line HID's and it puts out twice the amount of light as the stock housings with halogens.

Hope that helps.
