I posted an updated video with wiring! Check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5WonYd3ic-nfJY

[@Marksim44]

Yes! Thanks

[@Gnik4144]

I’m so jealous that bmw headlights open up so easily

[@evertdebruin9677]

Gnik4144 i to had a problem with opening my lights. What i did was i put Them in the oven in my home. About 80° Celsius for 20 minutes. All rubbers and gleu go soft so they open up easy. Clean your lenses OR the dirt will bake in!!

[@winner580320]

Gnik4144 my e39 headlights are designed not to open like that🙄 I️ had to bake it in the oven to get the covers off

[@peso2204]

😁😂

[@lollygaggin6332]

It’s our only flex😂

[@sandromaz5002]

Not after 2005 they don’t lool I own a e93 325i and to take the headlight out you gotta take the whole freaking bumper off 😄

[@kirilas1456]

Car is soo good that it makes me speechles 🔥🔥 awesome work man 🤘

[@marcscott517]

Looks great! but you need to very lightly smoke the corners to match. It's an optical illusion and makes your car look really narrow when you black headlight backing but leave corners clear. It'll look wider and meaner with very light smoked corners. You may have already done this too. My 2 cents.

[@paulvicks1336]

I approve this message 👍

[@pav9978]

you should call it hibeam delete tutorial

[@DaniilVataman]

pav 997 My low and high beams are through the xenon projectors. So I still have my high beams, check my updated headlight vid on my channel. Thanks for watching!

[@genesssisss]

It looks cool but indeed the high beam output got downgraded

[@luise3618]

On e46 with hids they’re bixenon our high beams are on the hid not the regular bulb.

[@SydeshowMO]

Luis E46 is bixenon on the coupe? I have a pre facelift sedan and my hi beam is separate from my HID.

[@proxy9896]

@@SydeshowMO depens what xenons u have, some xenons have hi and lo beam in them, so u can code away the halogen and just use the halogen as "flash to pass" Also have a pre coupe 03, with xenons, not sure if they are factory though.

[@IvanGomez-ox7tz]

Nice video, great looking M3 , got my halos wired to the turn signals as well many bmw owners say the look when on without headlights completely on.

[@moretacticalthanyou7514]

They look AMAZING❗️this as my 2nd time watching this video.

[@dRew-something]

This by far is the best bmw e46 mod video I've watched! Looks great! Did you spray your front grill on the bumper?

[@bukaratmuhammad9995]

I believe I have those exact same Angel Eyes. I live in Canada and have had them on a year through the winter and now summer and they still work great!

[@hubezchronic3029]

Where did you buy from?

[@bravo3601]

I give you props bro nice ! 👍🏻

[@JorgeGonzalez-lk6yl]

Very nice Thinking of doing this to my E36 now.

[@goldenthang]

That looks so sick!

[@N1NT3NDUD3]

Looks good. I did the same with yellow highbeam reflectors and LED switchback halos that are wired to the side marker lights.

[@Trolletn1]

I really enjoy the part where you talk very low and then the music plays very high...

[@spoopycapybara6968]

Nice video; i love my 325ci 2002 and i think im gonna do this! Thanks!

[@MickSoutherland]

Quality video with good presentation of a good idea. Kudos.

[@DaniilVataman]

Thank you very much!

[@alfredomendoza6246]

Looks clean good work

[@AbrahamMusalem]

I wish my E90 Headlights opened this easy lol. Great video man.

[@DaniilVataman]

Abraham Musalem Lol! Yeah man same... My e90 335 headlights are all glued, wish they were like e46 with only clips/tabs

[@perspolis1818]

You hook up the angel eyes to the interior lights for that pro BMW look and sick dimming feature not the turn signals. I think blinking Angel Eyes with the turn signals make any BMW look cheap (like the $140 eBay headlights). Good job on the blackout. Note: You can remove the high beam bulbs instead of covering them with the tape.

[@nj120894]

Tranc3 explain more on this how would the halos then react? (When would they be on) I'm planning on doing this to mine soon and can't figure which wires to hook up to

[@Imatastymotherlicker]

Hey man love the video and the follow up on the wiring too! Quick question, the link your description brings up the Amazon product you installed, on Amazon it says in their description they fit non-protector headlights. However your car has the protectors and they seemed to fit no problem. My car has the xenon lights (I assume that the projectors they are referring too, or maybe xenon’s are different) , do you happen to know if they will work the same on xenon?

[@ViceVersace]

Imo you should include in your installation the wiring aswell. Might look easy for someone who knows.

[@josecolin5026]

SickofthisBullshit Vice Versa yesssssss I need to know how to do this I suck at wiring

[@mojutubakaunt]

you really need a diagram to connect 4 connectors?

[@ViceVersace]

Not everyone was born with big brain buddy

[@mojutubakaunt]

@@ViceVersace don't even need a medium one for something like this ;)

[@ViceVersace]

@@mojutubakaunt he made a video about an installation. It's much more informative to include all the process for the beginners out there. There so many people that can't afford a second pair or they just want to get it right the first time. You being a smartass doesn't help in anyway buddy.

[@SlowE46...]

Broo the black out look fcknnn sickkk in the silver color 🔥🔥🔥🔥 🔥🔥 i may try this to my e46 ❤️

[@naldyano]

I'm jealous 😑😆

[@WrapStarss]

Thanks for idea mines came out sick asf

[@carlosGarcia-zl2hf]

Nice looks 👌🏽 dope

[@jinayl]

Like you said they look sick, but the downside is that when you cover the bulbs "housings" with paint you lose the directional function of the nickel plating and the light beam pretty much stays right in front of the car and doesn't reach far enough. Not a problem with xenon because they have a dedicated lens for that but in your case the mainbeams probably get impacted (both on mine which doesn't have xenons). I wanted to do it with the mainbeams housings in yellow/gold to get an old school bimmer look but I ended up wiping all of it and loosing some nickel plating in the process

[@nishintachannel3225]

Excellent finish.

[@wesley_media_]

Looks super clean bro

[@DaniilVataman]

🙌 Thanks bro!

[@jamesseibel416]

Amazing video had to subscriber. Hoping to own a 325xi soob😍.

[@airnecessities3690]

looks cleannn!

[@DaniilVataman]

Thanks bro! Any luck fining any e46's?

[@efoff652]

Watched this video and did it to mine and love it. Thanks for the cool idea bro

[@DaniilVataman]

aj percie Glad I could help!! 🙏🏼 feel free to send me a pic of your e46 over to my insta @dat.e90 I’ll repost it 👌🏼

[@efoff652]

Daniil Vataman I dont have insta but I have snap

[@gameplayer222]

A very clean and nice BMW E46 M3. Seeing more and more E46 M3s nice like this makes me want to save up for one. About to save all money in 2018 from working my jobs and income taxes in 2019. And see where that gets me. Hoping to find a Laguna Secca Blue M3 or any other nice colorway. Good condition lower miles with maintenance done accordingly. Might have to travel to go get it across the country or to another state nearby because here in Texas BMW M3 e46 coupes are getting harder and harder to find. But anyways keep it up with the videos mane and keep the E46 running good please.

[@DaniilVataman]

trenton mackey Thanks for watching and commenting! Definitely get one! 👌🏼

[@Samadsaidit]

Dude that looks too sik! Great job great video

[@InsaneTaco1997]

Awesome video I’m tempted to do this now

[@DaniilVataman]

I’d recommend it! 😁👌🏼

Definitely going to do this to my E46!

[@kylenaidoovlogs3398]

Because of you man i did my halos and blacked out my headlights my inners are sprayed royal blue and outter part are sprayed black and my corner lights are smoked

Bro u killed it I gotta do mine good job

[@zdeneklanik9594]

Nice can't wait to get it done

[@kristicifci5389]

This is sick af bro whenvi saw ur 10 minutes build e46 i dont know shits bout bmw cars i just know only bout all benz classes category so im new fans on bmw ❤🔥 brother what are those callled flicker lights have u ever seen it u know what i mean ive seen that in all modern sport cars like amg , bmw

[@Cup-o-Wealth]

I like the blackout mod. However, I thought the reason for the reflective silver inside the housing was to direct light output. It may not effect the HID but should effect the highs. May require a retro fit Bi-Xenon setup. Curious to know what your lighting looks like at night.

[@paulvicks1336]

The Xenons handle both highs n lows. The inner light with reflection are just daytime running halogens. When I do this mod to my M3, I'll remove these bulbs completely.

[@inishearer4218]

some car use the xenon, some dont. did this to my 330i and i no longer have highbeams haha

[@abrahamortega5375]

Actually looks really sick

[@Cleddy1]

Very nice! Did you use the rubber spray?

[@soccer4life617]

Hey man great video! How did you wire the angel eyes to the turn signal lights?

[@IrasLord]

Looks nice 😎🤘😍

[@armandoarriaga5526]

your car is bad af dude super clean!!!

I appreciate it! Thanks for watching

awesome bmw i loved it ^^

[@cynthiabrinkman9569]

Love this! Definetly going to do on my e46

That is sick I'm try that on my car! I already have the blue halo

[@mathushan326]

That’s looks sick

[@MrSpaz12]

Bro, this is so cool and what's even cooler is that we have matching M3's so I know exactly what mine will look like. Way cool! Liked and subbed

[@DaniilVataman]

I appreciate the comment and thanks for watching! Good luck when you decide to do it!

[@MrSpaz12]

Daniil Vataman This weekend for sure. I've been watching a few of your videos this morning and I gotta say, you got banging editing skills. Music is on point as well.

[@DaniilVataman]

Nice! Send me a photo once you get it done on Instagram @dat.e90 would love to see. And thank you!! That really means a lot! 🙌🏼

[@MrSpaz12]

Daniil Vataman 👍

[@08halit]

idk ..the hood isnt original or have you changed it

[@simplelife5910]

Awesome man. I love it. Totally changes the car preview. Haha. A little offtopic. What's the song name?

U need a relay and tap into the accessory light inside the car. eBay sells the relay kit, easy install

Sick bro! I got an e90 wish my headlights came off this easy

[@DaniilVataman]

Yup, e90 are a hassle to take apart! Thanks for watching!

[@Iamkt09]

nice ... looks awesome

[@RollingInBoost]

The indicator idea is sooo dope...i did the same thing but my ccfl rings flicker so gotta go a different route

[@DaniilVataman]

Rolling In Boost were both of the halos flickering or just one? Could’ve been a bad ring?

[@jacobbaird9361]

Does the plastidip not affect the motors for auto levelling and adaptive bi-xenons? I'd imagine they'd be pretty upset about any dip getting in them

[@stari6840]

I think it is better When you connect it like day lights but it looks nice

[@Bhof11]

Nice look! Sometimes i don't understand why they wouldn't ship the cars like this, since it looks better. Could you upload a picture / video of the hi and low beam and the flash? That would be really nice.

[@DaniilVataman]

El_Pato Thank you! You can check out my updated video on my channel!

[@rebwar08]

You should patent that idea before i take claim of if and use it in my tutorials lol..looks dam good!

[@KadeeyahCRoye]

You should totally smoke out the corner lights to give it a cool look

[@DriversSide]

Sick man! Makes the car look mean!

[@DaniilVataman]

Driver's Side It’s always a must on my e46’s! Haha, thanks man!

[@bilih7898]

Daniil Vataman are the angel eyes at full brightness with the headlights on ?

[@DaniilVataman]

Basic KZbinr Gfujferfswrhjuggyjnfdrtss They’re about 50% when turned on, but when I turn on the turn signal they go 100% brightness

[@michaelkinkade8368]

Man where did you get that front splitter that is exactly what I been looking for love the car

[@classsproductions7045]

That actually looks sick bro 😍😍😍😍

[@DaniilVataman]

Thanks so much dude! 🙌🏼

Hahah, I use adobe after effects for coloring 😁 thanks for watching!

[@classsproductions7045]

Daniil Vataman oh okay thanks a lot for your replies haha😂❤️🙏🏻

[@ImNotJust]

E46 wagons are fucking sexy and the halo rings look like the E30s nice job man

[@bavareca90]

man you are genius now you dont have a hi beam lights and also i liked how you covered the bulbs whit a tape :D they probebly dont working anymore

[@DaniilVataman]

Миро Рачев man you are genius thinking my high beams were casted through the reflector 😂 go watch my E46 Mod list video and see how my low and high beams work. And also I had the bulbs coded to be disabled so I have nothing to worry about. Thanks for watching!

[@daniels4088]

Nice job men xD

[@peterbotham6977]

Firstly the chrome bezel around the headlight bulbs are there to make the lights brighter, So blacking them out will reduce the headlight brightness. Secondly you are supposed to wire the halo rings to the DME in the engine bay , so that when the ignition is on the halo rings are on. And then connect the trigger wire to the interior lights , so that when your interior lights fade out , the halo rings fade out as well.

[@Rayan-fv7ot]

its awful

[@peterbotham6977]

Hey there What's awful ? . Is it your headlight blacked out with plasti dip ?.

[@Rayan-fv7ot]

is not mine and yea its awful i don't like it its look russian ricer

[@anthonyong9296]

Dude where the dme sorry new here

[@cesaraltamirano9235]

Nice vídeo.. and nice car.

[@kaneCVR]

Now get a set of smoked Depo corner lights to finish the look.

[@LorneDE]

It looks like the car is on pills lol but great look bro

[@TangoCharlieAlpha]

That looks pretty slick! The only thing I worry about is light output. That has to have dimmed your night vision a lot. I'd be curious to hear what you had to say about that.

[@DaniilVataman]

Thank you! I haven’t noticed a difference, my xenon lights were and are still plenty bright for me 😁

[@mariovojnichajduk6947]

@@DaniilVataman how about long ones?

[@OfficialSNIxn]

Whether you own a BMW or not, the fact is if you paint your reflectors it will negatively effect the display of light. The lights that down have lenses and just a bulb and reflectors if you paint the reflectors that light will be very very dim. The lights with lenses will still work just won't have near reflection, only far projection. So in other teams looms great but is it worth the downgrade in visibility.

[@mohamadel-chami3367]

It would be better if u put projector lens on ur highbeam and spray the shrouds in black and u'll get both bright light and more aggressive look

[@mrwonderful7878]

daniil, is this reversible? I realize you can peel it, but are there small crevices within the housing that one could NOT access and remove the plastidip? I ask because if I decide to sell my e46 one day, I'd like to be able to fully reverse to stock

[@SinRoyal]

Awesome vid!! What’s name of the music in the background it’s fire 🔥

[@michaelkinkade8368]

So you said you tapped into your turn signals, so you didn't use the box it came with at all and just wired into both the wires from the turn signals only?

[@aidenhardwell4887]

I did mine on my 04 330ci facelift

[@imbahax1man]

How is the dip affected by the heat? I’ve got a pair with halogen projectors and im thinking about doing this

Hey nice ones. I want to try it on my e46, I am interested if light intensity is too low

[@minh-tribui1040]

Looks good 👌🏼 btw, if I don’t like it...I can always just peel it off and it’ll be original right?

[@DaniilVataman]

Thanks! & yes! It’s peelable and will be back to stock 👍🏼

Hello what colour wire did you connect to turn signal done a great job there man 😎

the high beams how they shine

Is blacking our the headlight reflection legal? In Canada?

Did you use any paint or a specific one?

[@travis8508]

Hey! How many coats did you put on and how long did you wait between each coat?

[@diogogouveia6055]

When painting does not affect the intensity of light? Because when painting the mirror around the lamp does not reflect the light.

[@killcam0772]

I did these to my lights and the high beams are ass, there is no difference between the regular lights and the high beams but they look very nice
