If you’ve seen my car before (here it is BMW E36 318is), you’d know that I’m using aftermarket headlights and although I think these headlights look great, there’s a huge problem with them that is becoming more and more annoying every day. The problem is the headlights plastic lenses. They started to look dirty and old and no matter how I tried to clean them (I’ve even tried to wax them), they’ll revert back to the ugly-old-looking headlights which is clearly started to annoy me very much.
I’ve decided that I should ultimately switch back to stock headlights, but the problem is that I don’t want to lose the angel eyes and the HIDs. So, I started digging to see what options I have and to make some comparisons between the different headlights + their options that are available at the moment. I may write about these soon.
While doing that, I found this great tutorial about BMW E36 headlights and HIDs. So, I thought you guys (the BMW E36 owners) should watch this. It’s definitely helpful although a little bit long… I won’t keep you for so long, so, you go a head and watch it.

Since the time I bought my car, I’ve seen ten’s of headlight designs that were made especially for the E36 cars and I dare to say that there are only 6 or maybe 7 designs that look really cool on the E36 cars. ZKW is a good example of these nice quality and look. The rest of the headlights that I’ve seen look very bad and will give your E36 a silly look.
Today, I found these headlights on EBay:
And I said, that’s it, I need to write a post about these ugly headlights. So, here we are… My advice to you friends is that shinny glass and chrome are BAD choices for your car. So, whenever you look at a headlight from now on, just ask yourself this question:-
Do these headlights shine or have chrome? If the answer is yes, then move your eyes away from them and do NOT, I repeat do NOT, even consider them.
I’m saying this, because I’ve never seen a headlight, not a single one with these characteristics that looked good on a BMW E36.

I know that it’s usually hard to choose a specific wheel/rim style for your car. You usually start looking at other cars like yours and try to find the best wheel style that fits this car and feel like it’s going to make the car look hot. Unfortunately, many times you end up buying wheels that don’t really look good on your car and since these are usually expensive ones, you will not try to change them unless you get a very good deal to exchange them with another set and pay a little bit more.
This happened to me many times but if I had a list of some possible choices for my car, I would have avoided such mistakes too many times. Today, I gathered 15 different rims that look really nice (well, not all of them) and they are supposed to help you make a choice.
I added a ranking under everyone of these styles, but please don’t feel disappointed if I gave a low rank for a wheel that you really like. This is just my opinion and what I like best may not be the rule for everyone else. I hope you find this list useful for you in case you’re unhappy about your car wheels and you’re considering a change real soon.

Although, I know that my headlights are not the best headlights available for BMW E36, but I like them very much. First, because of their rings color (light blue) which fits perfectly on my silver car. Second, because they’re a single unit headlights with a corner. I hate the 2 part headlights. The problem is that my headlights are getting old and they always look dirty even after washing the car. So, I was thinking of replacing them and while I’m looking for some alternatives, I have found some great headlights that I didn’t even know they exist. I prepared a list of them below. Check them out. I’m sure that many of you hate the standard headlights of BMW E36 and are willing to give their cars a new look. I also added a rating for both style and quality for each of these products which is based totally on my taste. Have fun!
