Guess who decided to grow some balls. Orion V4 Install.

TopBack_Mack · 03-27-2015, 09:44 AM

I finally decided to pull the trigger and install my Orion V4's myself. I love the look and now that I have them on, I wish I would've done this sooner. With that said I would NEVER do it again on my own lol. Big S/O to sammy_0559 and Wasteland for their helpful DIY's. Here are few quick cell phone pics of the project on **POST #8**

330xtrai · 03-27-2015, 10:39 AM

no pics lol but I have still yet to grow the balls to do them myself. I'll probably post tomz_m3 to do them since he does great work and is relatively local to me.

bimmette · 03-27-2015, 11:45 AM

Good job! I will definitely not be growing a pair. This scares me.

MMMCOOKIES55 · 03-27-2015, 12:18 PM

Awh, it's really not THAT bad. And you have an E92, even easier. I was sweating bullets pulling my E90 ones apart last week but after doing one the other one was a sinch. I followed that up with my wife's E92 this past weekend and it was so easy. Just take your time and it will all come together.

I want to know who was in charge of the E90 headlights and decided to use permaseal....

Its amazing how one small decision can impact so many people lol

MMMCOOKIES55 · 03-27-2015, 12:32 PM

^^ No kidding right! Permiseal sucks.......... so bad haha.

StevenY. · 03-27-2015, 12:54 PM

Can't wait to see the pics. I'm still waiting for the weather to warm up to work on my headlights.

TopBack_Mack · 03-28-2015, 12:28 AM

Sorry guys and Tara, I don't know why the site wasn't letting me post pics but here they are.

Tom does excellent work. The amount of people that were able to do them on their own put the battery in my back.

Yea I'd pass on the E90 headlights. They are much more entailed.

Moutamid · 03-28-2015, 06:09 AM

Gennosuke · 03-28-2015, 07:27 AM

Nicely done man. Looks really good! Those lights always look cool coming down the road.

TurboAL47 · 03-28-2015, 09:26 PM

great job. way to get it done yourself.

troy2003 · 03-28-2015, 10:18 PM

Lovely, I just did the same thing on my e90. One of the best cosmetic upgrades to put on a list.

EzequielR · 03-28-2015, 10:51 PM

CONGRATS BRO!!!! It looks great, cant wait to have tom do my headlights this summer!

Alen E90 · 03-28-2015, 10:52 PM

Hey Mack your headlights looks sickkk now! Only thing that I want to point out is the outer ring on the passenger headlight-looks a little crooked IMO.

Thanks for sharing the pics and btw what fogs are you running? I like them a lot!

Game · 03-29-2015, 02:58 AM

Well done. Looks great.

Blindside_137 · 03-29-2015, 07:03 AM

Looks phenomenal. Maybe it's just me but I swear on some diy projects the outer angel eye is significantly larger. This would bother me a lot.

Great job!

Interesting, wanting to try it out more and more every time I see a DIY post. Tom did multiple sets on my e90, but im more interested in taking on the project itself.

What would you say was the reasons you wouldn't do it again?
