Mac Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Oh my word - this is the second time I've done something to my car all by myself - whatever next? Anyway, since deciding to run the '3 for another year I've set about fixing the bits that I don't like as much as I could, namely the gear shift (bits on order), and the side-lights. I much prefer the white lights of the newer BMWs as opposed to the orange/yellow of the previous, so I've updated mine. Less than 10 minutes to do, although fiddly as hell to get the bulbs in - now have MANY cuts on my hands.

Luke Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Far better. Does *cant afford a new car really mean I'm getting tight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMPG Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Hhmm, I do like that - having just replaced an original (yellow) bulb - have to agree that does look loads better. Does the ebay bloke have more in stock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiser647 Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 One other thing about BM's that I like - those Angel Eyes! Good work! Although, that 'maintenance gap' for the bulbs, really is just a hole in the engine trim!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Holy moly - what is all that extra stuff with the bulb - the black box? What ever happened to normal lights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian_C Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Improves the look massively doesn't it! First mod I did on my S4 was to ditch the stock sidelights for leds. The sidelights completely ruin the crisp xenon headlights, whereas the leds match perfectly Before (with one popped) http://forum.rs246.com/download/file.php?id=9652 After - sidelights only (not headlights) http://forum.rs246.com/download/file.php?id=9653 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Posted April 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Indeed. It's odd how certain 'fashion' looks can just all of a sudden look old and dated. I remember thinking that about the original TT for example - how one minute it was cool, and cutting edge, and the next it just looked 'old'.
