I've seen them sell for anywhere between $200-300 shipped. So I wouldn't pay more than $150. Have you come across any?

Post by: kowalski on March 18, 2007, 02:39:20 PM: i've seen 2 sets of MHW's but they go for about 150 if you speak english so there is no point in picking them up until later in my trip when i can actually speak some german. i can do the euro elips though.

Everyone wants what they can't get. The Japanese want amber corner lights while Americans want clear corners. Funny but true.

I'd be happy to give you my non ellipsoids if you send me your smileys. ;)

Code: [Select]

because they're better then sealed beams, they look cool, and they're different. If my car came with smilies i would keep smilies on it, i don't want them cause they EuRo CoOl i just want them so i can see better at night. Plus the smile looks killer.

PS: i don't want clear markers... i want/have blacked out markers.

Post by: nomad on March 21, 2007, 01:45:37 PM: Any lights out there that are just good for replacing the sealed beam with an H4 bulb or something?
Title: euro smilies
Post by: denious on March 21, 2007, 02:17:02 PM: Yeah, so what are the choices of lights which are NOT sealed? Smilies, euros, or not, as long as they're not sealed...
Title: euro smilies
Post by: shutter on March 21, 2007, 05:52:26 PM: The current sealed beams I have are not stock, and need new lenses at the very least. I was on the look-out for lights anyways, I appreciate Kowalski trying to hook some of us up with a deal :D

Post by: kowalski on March 22, 2007, 06:52:50 AM: there isn't much except a set of these, which are even more expensive then getting smilies. you can get them in a smoked and clear version. I can get non smilies for cheaper then smilies naturally. You can do what i did at home, and buy some h4's and make them fit.

Post by: kowalski on March 22, 2007, 07:09:49 AM: is there a difference in the housings between a left smiley and a right smiley?
Title: euro smilies
Post by: gearheadE30 on March 22, 2007, 01:55:22 PM: ^^ dunno why, but that made me laugh

i don't think so, the difference is just in the mounts they bolt to
Title: euro smilies
Post by: kowalski on March 30, 2007, 07:00:58 AM: yeah unfortunately there is. the mouting screws are on different sides. i found 4 brand new right sides for sale and iw as going to make them into 2 new full sets but unforunately it doesn't work like that unless i buy everything except the lens and the projector piece which kind of nullifies the whole deal here...
