Flametail, glad you got everything sorted out. Hopefully that alternator will last for a while. Yeah that long upper alternator bolt can be a pain in the butt to line up sometimes.

Bimmerfun, I wouldn't feel bad if I were you. You may have paid a little more for your headlights, but you should've got a quality product. Like I said before, DDM's slow shipping and poor customer service isn't worth the money you would've saved anyway. And James is absolutely right about those clips. Be very gentle with them, especially the ones on the corner lights themselves. The tabs on the headlight are pretty fragile but it's even easier to snap the clip off of the corner light. Although I've never broken one, I know several people who have and it's a pain in the rear to get them to stay attached if the tabs or clips break off. Post pics after your install, the euro elipsoids really spruce up the front end.

got my car ready for my track day (time attack) tomorrow.

remove some more weight, remove the sunroof motor, change the brake fluid, check all the fluids, check suspension, tire pressure, re-installed front strees bar, and made a stand for my LM-2 so is not flying around

Your car is sporting the later style (97 and after) nosepanel and grills. Your car is a 95?

New headlights look great though!

This is not my ti but since I have to get this project done to start on my ti and this is my favorite forum...

With help from a buddy I installed new/used cats on my E46 (the old ones were clogged) and installed the trim and test fitted the ZHP front bumper.

did major damage to mine.

Obeying the law, I got a phone call so I pulled over (I had to write anyway, it was work related) as I pulled off of the highway, I had exactly half a second to realise that the shoulder was almost half foot lower than the road due to construction (they never brought the original shoulder back up to road level) and ripped the pipe that goes into the catalyst right out of it.. leaving most of the exhaust hanging and dragging.

After unclipping the o2 sensor and cutting the hangers, I got the remains of the exhaust into the car and finished the last 100 miles of my trip with no exhaust system.

I will note that Wide open throttle at Redline will induce nausea from the sound and pressure.. but cruising carefully was barely tolerable. At least the cop who pulled me over for having a loud car was sympathetic

I hate it when you want to do something good and something bad happens. Hope you get fixed up and drifty again.

Haven't done much to my car or been on the boards in a while... but I just installed LED's on the Angel Eyes from my DEPO P-36 headlights...
I was wondering how I could change the bulbs... so I opened them up and saw that the bulbs could be easily replaced (they're the 5W5 type)... So I went looking for them on SuperBrightLEDS.com and found them... for about $2 each... then went looking on Fleabay... and bought all 12 for about $10 from a Chinese vendor... Looks better now, to at least!...

Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow Ti enthusiasts!

hehe, yeah I couldn't resist!
Also the fact that he is peeping out from behind the Hoffmeister kink makes me laugh, 'cause back in the 80s/90s there was a brand of (really crap) beer in the UK called Hofmeister, and the slogan was 'Follow The Bear'.

I just love that it could get me in hot water if I lived in the US...

Thinking LSX swap.
