E30 Zone

all my lighting dreams have come true, they are the biggest dogs nuts, wow bloody wow, can you tell iam excited and the auto elecs only charged Ԛ£35 to fit them, i went for a 8000K kit, the real bling bling blue look, the K reflects on the colour that you get, if you want a light thats ultra white and lights up the road like flood lights then you want to get say a 4000k - 4500K system, but if you want a real blue bling look at the cost of not quite lighting up the road like flood lights then you want a 6000K - 8000K, you can even go more than 8000K, 9000K + and that will give you more of a purple look, I got my kit from www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk ive given these a mention for there excellent service, when i first called them i was going to buy the Ԛ£430 kit they had on there site, but the guy told me about the kit i got in the end as these had just been finished being tested and were not up on there site yet, and now they have put the kit on all there demo cars they were that impressed with it and it only cost Ԛ£299, The kit that i got was, H1 Interpower HID X5 8000k sky blue, ive put a picture to try and show you, but its so hard to take pictures of lighted objects so the picture dosnt really do it to much justice, but they really are the nuts

Nice one.

The blue hint compliments the car too. I too would be well chuffed.

And its all about paying someone Ԛ£35 to do it rather than stressing out over doing it yourself!

Looks great dale! Brings the E30 illumination into the 21st century. Nice one mate!

cheers lads, adam3,

spot on mate, iam glad you said that, the car colour and light colour just blend so well to give it that extra bling look, iam well chuffed cheers

welcome to the Club Dale.
wait till you drive at night and see how much brighter they are its unreal,

Cheers Andy, i know its bloody sad but i cant wait for nite time i really should get a life but hey you know how exciting it is be nice to see where iam going at nite for a change

and the other thing is the looks you get with them on, other E30 drivers and new beemers 52 and 53 plate drivers just looking, its quite funny.

i already get that look all the time with my angel eyes, but i know what your saying, even on the new beemers and mercs its hard not to stare at them,let alone on an old beemer, should put the posh nobs out, its a thing of beauty i think this will be the next BIG mod for everyones E30`s, its so easy now as they do a H1 that just fits as if its ment to be there

the autobulbs link just takes you to a kinda search page thing...

Hi Jhonno, soryy got the web address wrong its www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/HID/hid_H1.htm

Looks excellent fella, just wanted to know , can this kit be used in combination with say a set of smoke hellas, or maybe a set of chrome/crystal clear angel eyes like the ones on Bootymans Reiger, i noticed that u still have your angel eyes, so i presume this kit just fits in with your exsisting lenses?

cheers, yes the kit is made to fit direct for the H1, the bulb lenths are even the same and my angel eyes are working fine, so its all good good, SO FAR

Do some down the road night shots, this should show the colour better.

Hi Andrew, ok i will take some later and post them up

Andy what K rating are mine in the 4000k area?!

Low_E30 I have smoked hella's and xenon's But i didn't do it i just coughed up the Ԛ£550 for it all!!

nite time picture, wow everything is sky blue the way it lights up the road is well cool, it will be even better when i get the aims on my headlights sorted, ones pointing to the moon and the other to the ground

Just a thought, but don't xenon headlights legally require to be self leveling, and need headlamp washers?

all sports have headlamp wash as standard but the leveling hmmmmmmm

adaM3 is spot on with the self level thing for when they go over speed ramps ect, but when it come to your mot all you have to do is put your old bulbs in and a 5 sec bit of wiring, dont know about the headlamp washers, took mine of the sport for wieght and areodynamics or was it because they wernt working, o yes that was it

The sensors take an average of the tilt in the car so going over speed bumps will not activate the system in a car which has this fitted. Its only when the car is loaded with passegers or going up hill.

Are these bi-xenon like the latest cars have. The bi-xenon is where there is a motorised flap inside the light that gives you dipped and main beam off the same bulb.

If not, does anyone know if there are bi-xenon kits available, or if it is possible to modify a setup from a modern car into an e30 light?

why would you want a bi-xenon kit? the e30 has a separate main beam

No its alot of work and plus the wiring would be complicated. Its not really worth it.

Andrew

u won't hardly use your main beam, if you have them fitted. I only use mine for flashing now

Dale, just saw your beautifully bright lights whilst watching fame academy mate in my living room (IN ESSEX) do me a fella favour and turn them down!



Seriously they look fantastic! Good choice there bud!

are these HID kits only for the dipped beam or do they do the mainbeam as well?

Because Main beam and low beam use H1 you can use them of either, but the bulb on the main beam wont last long as they dont like to be switched on or off three times per hour. This is where Bi-xenon comes in.

Andrew

ahhhh i see

So with the Bi-Xenons you'd be running with all 4 lights on all the time and run the bi on the mains?

as long as you ain't in germany or they don't have the same rules

i believe german e30's have a situation where if ypou switch on your main beams whilst your fogs and low beams are on, your fogs go off. basically a rule where you can only have 4 lights lit up on the front of your car...

i dont have fogs so

but you have 4 xenon lights?!! or no?

your xenons are only for your main beam, not your high beam or side lights. once you have your xenons on i cant see how you would even need your high beam as your main beam is so bright, but ive ordered some ultra high beam lights that give out the same colour as the xenons so i dont have a horible yellow light

but you could order another set of xenons, too, eh dale that would be good

that would look cool Adam.
