The Modfather Strikes Again!!

booforty · 01-25-2008, 07:45 PM

Finally got round to upgrading my D1S bulbs from the stock 4300k to 8000k thanks to Teddy at SSDD-Motorsport http://www.ssdd-motorsport.com (who supplied the bulbs and fitment) and to Mark from Evotechnik (who supplied the garage and fitment). Thanks so much guys, they look awesome!!!

Thanks also to Tracey and Teddy who supplied the entertainment. Riding a mini motorbike around the yard. Teddy struggled to stay on!!!

See the surprise at the end of this post...

Also, apologies to Peppernick

as they were his bulbs originally but he swapped them with Teddy only to find that his Merc required D1S, so he wanted them back! Sorry

First of all, this is what the stock D1S look like. Remember I have already changed the angels (see my thread "How many guys does it take to change a light bulb?" http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=78583).

Its a bit fiddly changing bulbs on the E90. Access is behind the wheels where there is a small hatch. However, we find it easier to remove the plastic panelling.

One bulb done - 8000k v 4300k

Both done

Then the fun began! Mark works for a recovery firm and picked up a mini motorbike!!

Valentino Rossi watch out! Tracey's about!!

Just the angels on

Close-up with the main bulb on

Reminder of the stock 4300k D1S

Compare to the final result!

Finally, here's the video of the mini motorbike fun. Enjoy!!

Hi Paul, Looks good mate!

Nice work Paul.

As far as I'm concerned, you are, & always will be, the MF!

As for that bike, bring it to UK5!

Definitely!! I did some close-ups but they're not very good

Can I ask, what benefits to they bring? I have the standard HIDs in my E46, and they are bright. I'm guessing the new bulbs are even brighter?

Maybe you can scare the crap out another young lady resident returning home unawares. Not that Beauforty needs to have his car with him for that effect.

He certainly doesn't, Floyd.

He's managed to scare many females during his walks across Wimbledon Common, in broad daylight without his car anywhere in sight.
