$20 E46 Mod: Blacked out headlights + Halo Install - LINKS IN DESCRIPTION @antistockBIMMERCLUB

[@DaniilVataman]

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

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 😄

[@Ye_Old_Gregg]

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 👍

[@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

you really need a diagram to connect 4 connectors?

@@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@Trolletn1]

[@kirilas1456]

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

[@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

[@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

[@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

[@kristicifci5389]

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.

[@jamesseibel416]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@Damndeeyah]

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

[@MashO356]

Is nobody going to mention that painting over the reflectors with render the light completely useless.

[@MHS_PessureWashing]

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

[@genesssisss]

The name is projector not “ ballast” btw... and yes indeed it looks awesome, but tell me how’s the high beam output? Black candy paint over the chrome would make the housing black while retaining some of the reflectivity... non the less it looks awesome

[@DaniilVataman]

[@blakehobbs425]

Weest on older m3’s the high beams are the center halogens

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.

Read all the comments and have 2 questions mate. 1. What did you use to cover the projector cone; and 2. If you wanted how easy is it restore back to factory i.e. before you painted it with plasti dip. Really looking forward to your response. Thanks, from Jersey, Channel Islands, not the US! Lol

[@DaniilVataman]

Amir Ibrahim Hi there! 1: I used nothing to cover the projectors, just spray a couple of thick coats, then when peeling it will come off easily. 2: It’s as simple as peeling back the plastidip off. You can see videos of plastidip removal on KZbin 😁 Thanks for watching!

[@DaniilVataman]

Magnus Frederiksen on e46’s there’s 2 ways to activate high beams, one used to flash(which uses the bulb and the chrome area that I painted) and another high beam option that uses the xenon projector and makes them a lot brighter. Do you own an e46?

[@magnuswf]

No, but 3 of my friends own e46's and several other own other bmw's, and the reflector does affect the light output, if the inner most bulb is used, as it is. I don't understand, does your e46 only use the outer bulb, both for high and low beam? I've never heard of any bmw doing that

Also, what socket does you projector bulbs use?
