I have a friend who works for BMW, and as such has a company car (3series... Hehe). He has xenons and is constantly flashed... I told him to get the pattern aligned properly... he did, and now no flashes.

I have phoned many an MOT place and have asked re the legality of xenons:

i) FACTORY FIT ones must have auto leveler and wash system
ii) RETROFIT ones must have the beam pattern alligned correctly, so as to not shoot out all over the place.

Very much looking forward to what Mikey has to offer...

Jay

Mikey,

Does your kit use a projector lense (for excellent cut off). Not one of those HID bulbs in halogen reflectors!

Good news - eagerly awaiting the update

Meanwhile - 80W cool blue dipped, Cool blue mains and cool blue spot lights are excellent, a significant improvement over stock in both looks and lighting performance.
No flashes from oncoming drivers and I can see where I am going

Parts from Mikey's stock

Hello Mikey,

I know you've been busy of late, but I thought I would bump this thread!


BUMP.

I know I keep banging on about this thread, but Mikey keeps dangling the carrot, as did Doc... what's happened/happening with these xenon kits?
