personally, i think angel eyes should stay on BMW. it would look funny if you have 1 tiny halo and 1 big halo.

Go for it. I actually would like to see it. I was planning the same myself but wanted to wait to put projectors in mine first. Way down the list of mods for me but on the list nonetheless.

Good luck.

mm a well done projector convertion looks very elegant on GS, same with the Q45 gun hid convertion. Unless you mean the angel "ring" light from the 5 series, this will be an awesome addition to your GS

Well, this is going to be one of those mods where some will like and some will not. It is similar to the turn signal lights on the side mirrors. MB-copy? Your call. I like them. Some will try to justify that the MB ones are functional while the Angel Eyes (AE) are not and that's why the signal lights are OK and the AE are not. It is your car. Do what you like.

As for me, I want to do a projector upgrade and not just putting in HIDs into our reflectors. (Just my preference. Nothing wrong with HIDs only.) For now, part of that upgrade will include AEs. Still, this mod is so low on my list. I still have brakes, FI, ICE, ... I don't have unlimited funds so things are going slowly. It keeps the anticipation and fun there for modding. I may change my mind once I get to when I do this but for now it is there.

Angel eyes would look pretty interesting on a GS, especially with the quad headlight setup.


Some of the 92-96 ES guys have mastered it:
