E36 Ellipsoid Headlights



DJ Auto Headlights



Depo Headlights

Fits all E36 models. Projector lenses on the low beams focus more light on the road ahead of you. Sharp vertical cut-off allows use of brighter bulbs without blinding on coming traffic. Replacable glass front lenses will not dull and yellow like plastic US lenses. Easy to install. Required for E36 DDE Lightning halos.

Headlight kits include a pair of new ellipsoid headlights, H1 bulbs and plug-and-play wiring harness adapters.

All headlights now include HID low beams standard. The base HID budget kit uses 35w slim ballasts and a one year warranty. The optional Apexcone slim 35w and 55w kits include a lifetime warranty on the bulbs and ballasts. See HID listing further down the page for details about each HID kit version.

Of course you can't leave dingy old halogen bulbs in your foglights with super bright HID lighting in your headlights. Pick up a second H1 HID kit at the headlight package discount price for your foglights for the ultimate upgrade. Pick a matching color or get that Lexus (but way brighter) look with a contrasting 3000K kit. Secondary kit comes uninstalled.

The on board computers on most E36s do not display a low beam failure (LBF) warning message with Apexcone HID systems, but some still do due to variances in their check control systems. Optional LBF eliminator modules completely eliminate those annoying warning messages when upgrading to HID.

Worried about road debris damaging your new headlights? Add Lamin-X headlight protection film and keep your headlights looking like new.

Depo and DJ Auto ellipsoids are modeled from the ZKWs and offer good performance at a great price point.

Depo Projector46 Headlights



Tired of missing out on the latest in lighting technology in your non-xenon equipped E46? Now you can upgrade to DOT legal xenon lighting for a fraction of the price of a factory retrofit! Better yet you'll also be rewarded with the ever popular and extremely bright DDE Titanium halos.

Projector lenses on the low beams focus more light on the road ahaed of you. Sharp vertical cut-off allows use of xenon bulbs without blinding on coming traffic. Easy bolt in install. Chrome trim (similar to '01+ E39 headlights) around each headlight projector/reflector gives a sense of depth unmatched by other headlights. Designed from the ground up for DDE Lightning, halos are recessed in to chrome trim making them appear even brighter by reflecting more light forward. Integrated DDE Titanium lenses make the halos look wider like E39 angel eyes.

Headlight kit includes a pair of new Projector46 headlights, preinstalled DDE Lightning halos, plug-and-play wiring harness adapters and bulbs.

E46 coupe fitment requires "snap in" type corner lights. If your E46 coupe is currently equiped with "screw-in" style corner lights or you'd just like to switch over to clear corner lights, you can add a pair of "snap-in" style clear corner lights below. Optional chromed amber corner light bulbs, light up amber, but are invisible when off.

All headlights now include HID low beams standard. The base HID budget kit uses 35w slim ballasts and a one year warranty. The optional Apexcone slim 35w and 55w kits include a lifetime warranty on the bulbs and ballasts. See HID listing further down the page for details about each HID kit version.

Optional LBF eliminator modules are highly recommended when upgrading from halogen to HID. The modules prevent "bulb out" warning messages in E46s that have not been programmed with the xenon option.

  • '00-'03 Coupe/Convertible

    MyCarr LED Angel Eye Upgrade


    The factory Angel Eyes on your BMW are powered by a low output halogen bulb and reflector assembly. This gives a low output, yellow light. Upgrade to MyCarr's high power LED replacements that shine 2-3x as bright and upgrade the color to a pleasing 7000K that closely matches HID output.

    MyCarr's LED packages are equipped with the latest in LED technology and digitally managed power output to deliver significantly higher output than typical replacements with a much lower operating temperature. This equates to a higher lifetime and no heat related issues or external power management.

    Just remove the original bulb and install MyCarr LEDs. The installation is completely plug and play.

    Compares at 50% brighter than PIAA.

    Two versions available to fit all E39/53/60/61/63/64/65/66/87 and E90/91 models.

    Simple PnP Installation


    Apexcone 6000K x 2

    Apexcone 8000K (headlight) and 6000K (fog)

    Apexcone HID kits include a pair of HID bulbs for your particular fitment, HID ballasts, bulb integrated plug-and-play wire harnesses, zip ties, double sided tape for ballast mounting and installation instructions

    Apexcone Slim 35w kits offer ultra compact digital ballasts. The slim ballasts are about 1/3 the size and 1/2 the weight of the standard ballasts.

    Want even more output? Step up to Apexcone 55w kit, featuring 55 watt HID ballasts offering up to 40% more brightness than 35 watt HID kits! Special circuitry provides low startup current draw (6 amps) negating the need for additional relay harnesses in most fitments. Due to its intense light output, Apexcone 55w kit are not recommended for non-projector headlights or foglights.

    Apexcone's new Slim 55w kits offer the 55 watt output of the Apexcone 55w kit in a compact and lightweight ballast case and all digital circuitry.

    Apexcone's H4, H13, 9004 and 9007 kits are available in both single (low) beam and in high/low kits allowing use of both high beams and low beams. The hi/lo kits uses a selenoid to alter the HID capsule's focus point.

    All Apexcone ballasts have internal circuitry that mimics the startup signature of a halogen bulb, eliminating annoying "bulb out" errors in most cars. Optional LBF (low beam failure) modules prevent error messages and flickering in even the most difficult applications (E39, E90, E92, etc).

    Now available: Bike kits featuring a single ballast and bulb combo for motorcyles!

    Optional relay harnesses are available to allow HID ballasts to draw current directly from the battery. These are not needed in most applications, but can increase reliability in older cars by eliminating voltage drop through the light switch and thin wiring. Not needed in most BMW fitments.

    Optional LBF (low beam failure) warning modules plug in between the HID ballast and the headlight circuit to completely eliminate headlight failure warning messages and headlight shutdown when adding HID to cars with invasive, compluter controlled, headlight circuits. These modules even solve warning messages in cars that check bulb resistance before the headlights are turned on (E34,E39,etc).

    Optional E39/E46 specific H7 bulb fitment includes a pair of modified BMW bulb holders. These save you the trouble of gutting your original holders when upgrading to HID for the ulitmate in PnP installation. These are not necessary when replacing factory xenon D2S bulbs.

    Apexcone bulbs and ballasts are covered by a lifetime warranty. Apexcone's warranty replaces bulbs in matched pairs, even if a single bulb has failed.

    Note: The light color is somewhat washed out by the brigher output of the 55w kits. If you want distictly "blue" light We recommend picking the next higher color temperature for your desired color if you're ordering a 55w kit. As an example, if you want sky blue light, 8000K would be the best choice for a 35w kit, but 10000K would be a better choice for a 55w kit.

    OBC "LBF Eliminator" Modules

    OBC "LBF Eliminator" Modules - Pair of plug in modules.
    Some cars will generate a bulb out warning message or even turn the headlight/foglight circuits off when connecting HID to them. Apexcone's LBF eliminator modules fool the car's headlight circuit computer and allow the HIDs to work flawlessly.

    Apexcone carries 4 different module types to solve various application issues as no one module generally works for all the possible variations. Because of that, we suggest that you specify your car's year and model as well as application (low beam/foglights) in the checkout notes so that the modules can be best matched to your exact application.

    HID Relay Harness

    HID Relay Harness
    Use this relay harness to connect HIDs to cars with very small gauge wiring that cannot supply the initial surge current required to light the bulbs reliably. Symptoms indicating the harness is required would be intermittent starting or lights going out after being turned on for several minutes and requiring you to turn the lights off and back on for them to turn back on again.

    Recommended for 55W HID installations, but most American and European cars work at 35W/55W without the harness. The harness is definitely recommended for Quad's and other ATVs or when running multiple HID installations. This harness is a fused relay isolation harness capable of supplying 40A at 12vdc.

    Euro Clear Turnsignals


    E36 Tail Lights


    E46 Taillights




    E46 Corner Lights


    E46 Reflectors

    Loose those ugly amber lenses! Switch your US market amber turn signals and tail lights to Euro style clear turn signals and red/clear tail lights to improve the look of your BMW.

    High quality lenses look great and fit like stock, but won't break your budget.

    E46 tail lights are four piece sets including matching trunk reflectors.

    Bulbs are not included, but Xtec's chromed amber bulbs are highly recommended. Using standard amber bulbs can give your clear lenses an "egg yolk" appearance. Xtec's chromed bulbs are invisible when turned off, but light up amber to meet DOT standards.

    Note: For E46 corner light and E36 tail light bulbs you'll need to check your existing bulbs if you're adding chromed bulbs as BMW alternated between 1156, 7506 and 7507 bulbs in those fitments. If you have 7506 or 1156 bulbs now, choose 1156, they are the same fitment with a single filament and 180 degree pins. 7507 bulbs are single filament with 150 degree offset pins.
