No matter what car it is, a $1,000 Civic or $1,000,000 Enzo...it will look like a poser.

I didnt know what to think about Audis with angel eyes. Some examples of people with angel eyes are so tacky. Like this bug-eyed celica:



It's terrible! I checked out some pics of Audi's and I came up with this one.



It actually looks good and compliments the 4 rings Also, Audi keep the same shape of headlights as BMW used to do. Pretty much rectangular. That Celica is just all wrong

You only listed 2 types of BMW's. So what about the E39 M5s? E60 5'ers and M5s? M6s? E9x non 335i's?

"Demon eyes" are the red lights seen on some E46s.

BMW's have coronas AKA halos AKA angel eyes. No BMW comes with 'demon eyes' stock.
Not only that, but as far as I know, the E46s never had angel eyes to begin with.

you don't seem to understand what i am trying to say. They serve no use "function"whise. However they are one of the major trademarks of BMW and to me it is retarded another car would put them on.

Oh, I understand exactly what you're saying. I just find it odd that a guy who paints his roundels red and blacks out his kidney grill (which are arguably the two most classic and distinctive BMW "trademarks") is so indignant that someone would put angel eyes in a non-BMW.

I've seen angel eyes fitted to a Dodge Durango one day when I was in downtown philly. They actually didn't look half bad to me. Definitely eye-catching.

hahah it amuses me how stupid some people are. Develop some common sense and then you might realize what i am trying to say. Oh and in response to your comment, i still have the kidney grills however they are just a different color. BMW never implyed they have to be chrome. As for the roundels, i got a BMW brochure with black/white emblems on it. So is BMW of North America not the real BMW anymore? Color does not mean shit. The roundel represents a proppeler(the white part) and the sky(the blue). In my case the sky is black which means nighttime, and the propellor is red. So BMW NA is just as guilty as i am.

Changing the colors of kidney grills and emblems is not the same as putting another companies trademark on your car. Your dumbass is just trying to think of a comeback so you research my car just to be able to say something. Congratulations moron, you officially FAIL.

I put them in my Maxima as well, I loved them. Much brighter than the BMW lights, and gave my car a killer look. Here is a picture of them. My car was black, and it looked even meaner.

so many haters on here. i thought all people who like to mod their cars were car enthusiasts, but i guess having a bmw all the sudden makes you some sort of connoisseur

btw, i highly doubt these ppl put angel eyes on their cars to copy bmw. they simply like the way it looks.

now this is what i call somethin' that deserves hatin':

The angel eyes aren't a BMW trademark I don't think.

The twin kidney grils, That is though.
