The 306 lights won't fit on the 406 without some grinding.

The far outer corner on the indicator end of the unit has a far sharper angle on it on the 306 unit than the 406 does. Thus, you'll need to grind the holes in your wings to accomodate it.

Not an option for me.

BMW's aren't badly made, Peugeots are......Flimsy and dodgy 'electreeks'

this is a bit off topic but WTF is that exhaust doing in the front bumper of that 406 in your sig :/

chavtastic yo!

but talking of chav tastic i just bought this twin exit exhaust for my cab (picking it up after chrimbo)

along with angel eyes and a smooth front grill

and have my front mount intercooler pretty visable now through the new bumper
i really need to get some pics up

rest assured i will never have rear lights like that though, i actually quite like the standard ones

OMG..... Welton WTF

OK soooooooo they are SO badly made with all their plastic push clip retainers holding the entire interior together and their piss poor heating and air con units.... my bro has an E36 and has quite a few electrical problems ! and most of them are common problems ! Peugeot's list of common faults are quite small, its the uncommon ones that people usually get affected by lol

my sisters bmw e46 325i is a lot better made than my 406
the heating in it may not be as good, but the a/c is a million times better
and the interior doesnt squeak, rattle or make any french noises
and apart from the airbag light comming on now and again there has been no trouble with it
and the clutch on the bmw i could do in a lunch break, i would be working all day on the 406

Yeah I am having the same problem too. I have been looking for a set of angel eyes, but it sppear that they dont make them for the 406. Just about every other car has a set available, including old sh*t chav motors like Nova, Escort and other sheds...

It is frustrating, but as soon as someone realises that there is a gap in the market, im sure they will get produced at some point. Just a case of waiting for some, or bodging in a set of 306 ones if you have the heart to take some tools and an anglegrinder to your 406

I have noticed (and experienced) this with these aftermarket lexarse lights and angle eyes. They allways mist up, so they are poorly made and the makers don't seem to be able to seal them properly.

Plus, they make your car look like a cheap ebay-tastic mobile.

Incidentally, most 'angle eye' headlamps emit a much worse beam pattern over the standard lenses. They tend to use a projector lens, but there are good projectors (like the Hella 50mm) and there are bad ones.

Replace 'including' with 'especially'. It's generally considered that 406 owners have taste...

guys did you know how much does a 406 coupe headlight cost in the UK?
because here in my country a manufacturer make angel eyes with original headlights.
