Another hopeful topic for discussion--has anyone with an E34 or E32 upgraded their headlights? To high-intensity discharge!? I'm kind of dissatisfied with the illumination, especially of the low beams. Car is a 1990 535i, and I believe it has the 9005/9006 bulbs. My old '86 528e was upgraded to Hella Quartz Halogen H4/H1 assemblies, and the improvement was FANTASTIC. I'm kind of looking for a similar effect for this car.

Hi there
I'm new on this board (and new to the joys of BM'ers) but you will find some answers and opinions on http://www.bimmer.info/forum/index.php?
and http://www.bmwe34.net/ is full of good stuff as well.

Thanks. (for anyone else, on bmwe34.net check out "upgrades", then "lights", then "more lights".
I think I'll try the modified 9005 bulbs, but if I buy new bulbs, I might as well wait until I can afford a set of PIAA ones.
I still didn't see anyone explain how to clean the reflectors. bmw34.net does confirm that it's possible.
