They'll look well smart.

Especially on the grey sport.

Can't wait to get them fitted, especially with the Xenons in there!!!

[Karan]

lose the headlight wash wipe aswell--gives a cleaner look-although they do get very dirty....

[E30Adam]

We are DEFINATELY gonna have to get together for some pics even if just the 2 of us meet up midway!!! I've got Beckys motorsport BBS rims on my car now too!!!

[Simon]

Smoked hellas rock!!

[greg325]

[zaust]

[Sooty]

Insert drooling smiley here!!!

Where did you get them from Adam and, if it's not a personal question, how much?

[Ant]

Lovin those BBS dude.

Smoked Hellas are too kool for skool

[Simon13]

Adam you will need to modify the backs of those hella lights to make it work. This is what i need to do to mine copy cat!

No need to modify mate, just going to use the old backs on the new lights. There are 3 screws on the back of the lights which you can undo and just remove the back and swap it for the modified xenon ones!

[Simon13]

Yes i did this too, and the aim is pissed i had an X in stead of 2 flat lines which have a shape like this \____ . My backs off the old lamps would not go in level if you get me, as hella have ever so slighltly changed the design! or where the screw holes are, which is rather annoying as they are near identical to the bosch units HTH

[Demlotcrew]

Dude i think that its also due to the ripples on the glass at the front, the focal point of the bulbs will be different.

Si call me innit so we can meet!

[Simon13]

i'll call in 10!

[Demlotcrew]

cool

Damn... so did you mod the hellas so that they give the correct beam pattern of are xenons a no-go with the hellas?

[E30Adam]

I just had a thought, it cant be the ripples in the glass because all we're doing is changing the light source... the actual light will shine through the same as with a standard bulb.

I really want to avoid butchering them if I can help it!

[Demlotcrew]

im working on it.

[E30Adam]

im working on it.

You da man!!! Can always count on you for top class fabrication

Yes this is true with the Hella backings on the hella fronts, but with the Bosch ones its deffo the ripples over the lense thats causing the problems.

[Karan]

adam ure car looks awesome on those BBS---that has convinced me to go for grey centres /poilished lips when i get my wheels refurbed!!

awesome!!!

[CaesarBob]

Those BBS Motorsports do look the business on the Dolphin Sport. Thinking about it, it's similar to the Sebring Motorsports.

Karan

It does look good mate - nearly did it with mine but it didn't look right with the red - a quick photoshop by Giles proved that....

[Simon13]

I really don't believe the ripples would do this to the beam!

Demlot at ace cafe if the cars going you will see what i mean as i'm hopless with words...............................

[E30Adam]

I just had a play with the lights and they are totally different backs, I can't see any obvious way to get the backs from the OEM lights to fit.

I don't really want to go back to stock bulbs after having hte xenons.

[andyp]

na you dont want them lights on your nice beemer, so when Da Man has sorted it out you can sell them to me, {see what a good friend i am} taking them off your hands.

[Simon13]

They are not totally different, just slightly different. I have these tinted lights with the xenons on my car right now! It's just hella's interpretation of the elipsoid light. At a guess they (hella) cannot copy the bosch light exactly for copywrite reasons hence the glass differences also? Adam your lights are audi TT ones aswell?

[gazm3]

Put them on Becky's car, come on Becky convince your fella that they would suit your car better. I was thinking over this mod on my Motorsport. And get your wheels back, your man is advising you wrongly he's stealing your parts!.

What does Becky think?.

Cheers Gareth.

I believe they are the TT lights in mine also mate.

How did you get the setup working, did you have to butcher the Hellas to get them working? I heard you had problems with the beam pattern to begin with, is it all sorted now?

[Simon13]

no i need this sorting still but the back of the bosch light where the altering is done will fit in the hella unit. It's just the screw holes are in a different place so the xenon back does not fit in level. Plus they modded 2 left lights! which does not help obviously. This all my findings so far! Need to fix the back end before i resume with this project

OMGF . I Now need a delphin M-tec II. That is pure sex.
