I dont wanna sound stupid here, but would these work in our max's or would the clear corners be too short?

Clears would be too short, but the headlight will work with some modification. They don't just slip right in obviously.

Actually, those headlights would require more modification than what the instructions are for. Those 'projector halo eyes' headlights actually sit further in all together then the stock e36 headlights. The actual headlight backing and shrouding i mean. Trust me, I bought those headlights and they were going to be a lot more work than the instructions are for. Moddifying the brackets and it was looking like having to cut into the upper rail as well. They are much bigger then stocks.

A bit of a panel work would get those corners to fit, they may not blend with the guard correctly but u could get them to fit. Get a damage guard from a e36 and graft it on.

They're not all that nice looking IMO, Really there ugly the stock ones are heaps better looking.

Hey since you guys have been putting these E36's on your max's (without the corners), wouldnt the eyelids for them also fit pretty well, BTW I think they wouldn't look too bad

The corners would take alot of body work to fit. As for the headlights, like everyone has said, are alot of work to install, but they are worth it. I have put them in, and you can't use the factory bracket to mount the light. There is quite a bit of cutting, but it can be done without removing the radiator support. If you are going to put them in and need some help, feel free to send me a pm.
