Get something OEM-equivalent, DEPO black housing headlights are a popular option. Most brands should be similar enough if you stick to OEM-style, but DEPO is the only brand I personally have experience with.
Oem is the best option, you can find deals on eBay or online sometimes, second best is depo aftermarket brand replacement headlights, not as good quality but the price is right.
The Depos came with H4/H1 and I upgraded to LED. The new reflector design is much better than factory and give it a fresh look. They would be "ok" with H bulbs but the LEDs def throw better light.
If I remember, the Eagle Eye headlights were a solid oem replacement.
DEPO is pretty much the most popular aftermarket brands. Kinda pricey, but I’ve had mine on my car for 2 years, and I have no idea how long they had been on before then. I cracked one of the covers and was able to order a replacement for less than $50.
I have depo on my e36. They didn't fit too well to install, but they go in. Yhe harness is pretty easy installation. One positive and others to the lights
I currently have on my car a set of depo/helix smoked angel eye headlights. One of the adjusters on the passenger side light has broke. The headlights themselves are in good shape, i would rate them about 7 out of ten. there are some nics in them from the previous owner being a daily driver, that seems to be the only problem minus the broken adjuster mechanism.
You throw em in the trash. Cuz no e36 deserves cheap headlights
Main problem with depos, is they aren’t always sealed properly, so the headlights will have moister inside.
i bought an is300 with aftermarket headlights and moisture seeped in within a week of me having them, not sure how long they were installed. Bought new ones, sealed them with silicone which I found out doesn’t work well, then used a black rubber type sealant and it’s been fine ever since.
