hmmmm.....most mirage halo lamps are dot certified and you can find them on ebay...make sure it sais dot certified cause some arent....when you do just ask them if they are euro certified ....most likley they are

[95ProLeila]

Doubtful, e-spec lamps are almost always glass lenses, while usdm is crappy plastic, I'd imagine that's part of the cert.

Halli,

can someone explain me what means S.A.E./D.O.T. ? It's maybe possible enough for norway.

@95ProLeila: what means usdm???

not sure what SAE is, maybe this, Safety Auto Equipment

DOT = Department Of Transportation (USA only)

USDM = United States Domestic Market
JDM = Japanese Domestic Market
EDM = Europeon Domestic Market

I would highly doubt the Ebay Mirage lamps are EDM worthy.

might see if there is a seller on www.ebay.co.uk that might have some glass aftermarket headlamps.... always worth a try.

I know here in the US our headlights are the plastic and probably not what your looking for.

I would say that they aren't e-approved, cos the light patterns are different with e-approved and dot-approved.
Try to find BMW E36 light with angeleyes in your land, they should be e-approved.

[95ProLeila]

Yeah, I wasn't sure about the glass v. plastic thing, that's why I said almost always

Maikel.... Do BMW lights fit a Protege? if so which ones... that would proly be easier than the Mirage Mod

depends upon your hood IMO.

Slant hood, the mirage headlamps is the way to go. (90-94 323's & 94 protege's)

Square hood & lights ~> BMW conversion is what you want. (90-93 protege)

That is if you dont want EDM lights.

[Ruffneck]

Thanx for all the answers. E36 doesn't fit cuz I've a slant hood, so Mirage headlights does fit. Also thanx for the tipp with the Lancer.

I've asked a lotta people here in Norway, but no positiv result all the time.
