just not 100% sure on how that side bracket works... did people cut access holes in the metal behind the screws that go into the light??

Here they are, I didn't put anything there for the sides. Where I have it bolted down so good there is no vibration and the alignment is perfect with no problems at all.

ok thanx man pics work good.. but since u didnt install the side bracket how do you adjust ur lights for up and down and left to right without those????? and how does it line up with the grill? i dont know why but my lights are really tight fittin in the hole... anyone else have this problem??

I already had the header panel and everything on my car. I just have my header panel taken out because of me restoring my car. With my header panel already in my car I had it sitting on the road and had some help. I had my gf holding the light in the position that it needed to be and then I outlined my metal that I fabbed up with a marker. Did the other side the same way. Then I waited untill the next day and took the BMW lights back out and the metal was still outlined, on the header panel. I took the bottom screws out of the BMW housing itself and then I used my metal and lined it back up with the line that was marked. Drilled two holes and did the same to the top and the passenger side. Took out the header panel and installed bolts and nuts for the bottoms and regular screws for the top. I do not have to line them up because I did that the night before so everything is perfect. But that's what I did because like you said, it was a tight fit for the sides and I didn't want to fool with it.

Now on the grille part, you will have a gap due to them being BMW lights.....you will need to actually make you a grille to actually fill it up really good, that's what I'm doing.

Hope this helps......

This is probably the best one I can find at the moment. I hope this works for you....

Man I love Your Hood, and Bumper.....but the corners, headlights, and grill just don't match up very good. I'd lose those, and the black widow graphics. Then it'd be pimpin.
