Feel free to be able to diagnose the SMG I system that my Indie are strugling with. More than likely be BER, not a concept your familiar with Jim!

Nope, i just like sticking with the essentials, simple stuff. Fancy gadgets going wrong always seem to be the death of these kind of cars.

I wouldn't buy one as i know i'd be too reliant on garages (indies)

I could do it myself, but the problem is a requires a bit of luck. I simply picked the Indie route because i thought it would be quicker

Had it nigh on two weeks now, getting a bit silly.

UPDATE.

Having issues still, however they have managed to make the gearbox select reverse so the box is fine. Its the associated crap with it, so they are working on it everyday keeping me updated. Just got to sit tight!

At least it's a start. All this investigation work must cost a fortune in the end though

Garage are sorting me out, just taking time. |3 weeks today it broke. I really miss it!

Right on a more posotive note, i ordered these yonks ago from USA, they finally came

£23 customs charge so not too bad.

Morimoto H1 mini's:




E55 shrouds:


Built:




The kit comes with these shrouds which i doubt i will use:




They are full Bi-xenon projectors
Work with H1 HID kit (I got this from MJ)
Great quality and fit in any headlight housing, perfectly legal and no crappy glare. Better quality than most OEM kits that people pay ££££'s for.

Really want to start building it all up but need top get my car back obv

Cheers John and no no red leds.

Heres a picture of the E55's fitted to a vehicle. Not an E36 but you get the idea.

Nice one dude.

Forgot to add, this is not a dodgy install, there are proper relays and harnesses to minimise load on the cars original wiring as well as Hi-beamsplitters due to these being hi beam and my car having hi beams as standard.

Will be fun to build these up! Hoping the shrouds will fit
