With the Xenons the foglights are almost totally drowned out so putting H1 LEDs in the foglights is just gonna purely be a cosmetic thing. Have LEDs on the way for my park lights. I get warnings about lights from the OBC anyway - its full of sh*t cos they all work - the guy at the testing station asked if I was using Genuine bulbs in the tail lights which I am, and said the control thingy is likely buggered. TBH I just mash "check" until the warnings go away, if i get sick of it - i'll just take the dash check bulb out LOL

Seen these before? I am thinking bout getting some and rewiring so they run as DRLs http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=478907220

Well took the car for its WOF this morning. Passed - Clear and without warnings, no mention about the Xenon.. The guy said the beamform was spot on and level was fine, I asked the specifically to check for that. Yay me

Hehe - IKR...

Agreed, leave mesh to fast jags and ricers.

I have the Projector lenses if that makes a difference? Its a Japanese spec/imported car, even has matching/correct beamforms. Will be interesting to see what happens on Wednesday with WOF day to see if it passes, if it doesn't I guess I'll have to fasttrack my lens upgrade lol. I've planning on a Tasteful/OE looking headlight upgrade to some nice European ones with angeleye DRLs. Won't ever do the "Altezza" taillight deal - pinkypromise - IMO their satins lovebaby ><

Shutup foo

Well I have Glass lenses so i'm no worried about melting Plus the bulbs are only 35w.. This week should be interesting to see if i get pulled up on em when I go for my WOF on wednesday. I got 2x http://www.jaycar.co.nz/productView.asp?ID...mp;form=KEYWORD I've used "aftermarket" bulbs for ever, but this is my 1st Xenon kit and so far I love it... I've always used Phillips such bulbs because they are good, but meh - felt like a change. So far, mine don't seem too glarey, i've yet to have anyone flash me.

I got the kit from Jaycar, $149 for the two H1 kits. Piece of cake to install. I used to have some Phillips "Xenon blue" style bulbs, but they were still so standard looking with the colour of the light. This is how things look now from the drivers seat parked in my car port with just the lowbeam (the xenons on) And this is with the addition of the Highbeam (which are also phillips xenon blue bulbs)

Its Clean now I got sick of looking at the dirty engine cover too lol

Damn right, but at least I know how my level adjuster works, its near my tilt adjust :-P

Wooo - Finally got around to getting a Xenon kit, and omg why didn't I do it sooner >.< Daytime in the carport and their Still epicly white (6k) (This is before I tidied up all the wiring, looks practically stock... And at night - HOLY COW BATMAN, no need for highbeams is all I can say...

Replaced my Panel filter with a OE one and cleaned out the throttle body, WOAH what a difference LOL.

The engine bay itself is just real filthy, like, the engine cover is Grey with dust n muck, I want it CLEAN There is a carwash down the road from here were you can use spray-on degreaser then spray it all off. am just wary of it after last time

Who regularly cleans/degreases their engine bay? And what do you use cos mine is FILTHY lol... Last time i cleaned/degreased the engine bay on a car (my 626 v6) that it ended up with water in the plugs and ran like sh*t until i could clean/dry it all out which sorta put me off doing it.

Ok sweet - so really, I don't need it/them connected do i? It doesn't get "that" cold in Palmy North

M52 320i stock airbox has these 2 pipes coming out of the back under the actual intake port thingy. Are they necessary to be connected to the box/what are they for? Am thinking bout getting a K&N coldbox and I'm not sure if the kit has connection thingys for the pipes? Can take photos if you need em

Just text ya man

These are what I am after - but do you think I can find any for sale? LOL I just really dislike the way 4in speakers sound :S

Hey thanks for the info I've been investigating some "high end" 4in for the rear and some good component speakers for the footwells and just replace the tweeter in the front doors. I have an Amp waiting to put in along with a tasteful sub - i'm not after pure Doof doof. These are the speakers and headunit i'm likely gonna get: 5in front speakers: http://www.parallelimported.co.nz/car-audi...0-speakers.html 4in rear speakers: http://www.parallelimported.co.nz/car-audi...i-speakers.html Headunit: http://www.parallelimported.co.nz/car-audi...-head-deck.html My current JVC headunit has terribad audio configuration and amp/sub control.

Jeez, make it look easy why don't ya

Sweet - good to know. The filter in the airbox atm is a FRAM filter - but its really filthy imo, so time to replace.

Have been looking into getting a K&N Panel filter for my 320i (btw OMG i love how easy it is to get the filter outta the airbox, japs are a f-ing c**t to get the filter out of usually.) Is there any real gains to it besides never having to "replace" the filter again, and maybe some change in the sound of the intake? I'd considered a Pod Filter too - but it just seems overly Ricey on a bimmer

Look like a Maserati

I tend to buy things rather than make em, i'm not very gifted in the making stuff department as it often involves blood and swearing Ooo Just had an Idea... Buying 6.5in speaker rings and mounting them Underside the speaker holes - that would work right, and just use self-drilling screw thingys to hold it in place though the factory screwholes?
