Ok I dont know if you can actually do the swap or not.. So I figured I would post this thread and see if anyone has ever heard of somebody doing this.. I dont really care what e46 I have to get the headlights out of.. But i would like to put a set into my e36 m3.. I just like the newer style better.. Plus with this upgrade i also plan to do the angel eyes kit.. ANY help or comments at all.. will be useful.. thanks..

yeah it can be done but requires alot of work. there was someone that posted a car for sale on ebay with a e46 front end conversion. there would have to be alot of custom body work.

i am actually thinking about doing prokits e46 m3 front bumper anyway.. so its really hard to say how much bodywork is really going to have to be done with that.. what and where is the cheapest you think i can get a set of lights? and a set of angel eyes?

It would require major body work to the front end, not the bumper, but the hood, fenders, etc. You would ruin the resale value of your car in the process.

If you really want to do this, you can get the headlights from the dealer.

Not worth the money. Theres no point to make your car look like a e46, it looks dumb.
