Re: '91 318iS slow/daily build

Hello my friends, it is 1 Bad 37 again. Today I have this update for you. I bought a headlight retrofit kit from Squared Motorwerks Thread about them here

I also bought a set of Morimoto mini H1 6.0 projectors and xb 35 5k bulbs from the retrofit source.

Getting started.

This is a bare stock projector (no housing) with a bid bulb of unknown origin of 6 or 8 k versus my new H1 6.0 and Squared adapter, fully installed in my euro smily housing with a clear lamin x film over the top and morimoto 5k bulb.

They went together very easily and seem well made. The light output is INSANE. I didn't think it would be that big of a difference as I already had a set of xenon lights in the stock projectors that the P.O. did. My xenon fogs are unneeded now, and I drove with them on religiously before the retrofit as the lows never impressed me... It is like driving with a daylight generator when I hit the brights as I have the bixenon function working, as well as the stock H1 center halogens running for a quad highbeam. My mom had an e46 with factory xenons and currently has a e90 with the active steering xenon lights. I've also driven an F20 5 series, this is all of that and more!:rofl1:




And as always.... Have a nice day.
