I used the Cerakote kit and they didn't look good after six months or so and they sent a new kit. About a month ago, I decided to use the DA polisher with compound, polish and the Cerakote Ceramic Coating that I used on the new paint. The headlights look great and I did wait a day or so to drive, you cannot control those wild bugs or the weather.

Headlights in! Well worth it. Light output is also much better.
Installed the reinforcement brackets too, repaired the bumper as best as I could - but it will get a new cover, fender well pieces, and underbody tray at some point. No rush though, everything is nice and tight. Cleaned up the engine bay too - Simple Green works very well on coolant. |

??What the DISA??
Not my car, but found out why my friends 330 was getting misfires in cylinders #3 & #6. One half of the DISA flap was in #3 and the other half was in #6!! Also found the shaft rattling around in the manifold. What a horrible design! fortunately, nothing was ingested, but the plastic was eroded away from bouncing around in there, runs a lot better now too!

Today got my headliner, package tray and sunroof installed. Did the wiring for my leather power seat retrofit, happily my car had all the power wires to run the base even though the original seats are manual vinyl sport seats. They had power bolster though, so I knew that wire would be there. The only thing I had to add was the canbus wire to keep the seats alive and for the memory function. I tapped into the canbus just forward of the left side subwoofer and spliced a piece of cable in with heat shrink solder connectors. I managed to draw the cable through the wire shield for the part that is visible in the car so it all looks factory fresh, pinned it up and re-taped. Now hopefully I'll plug in the seats and they'll just work (yeah good luck w/ that lol).

Yesterday drivers side ac was feeling warm.
Went and got two OG analog ac thermometers, one for each side and topped up the charge by adding r134a for a second or two, then waiting a minute or two for it to stabilize and show the change. Eventually got it down to an indicated 43-44 degrees per side.

What angel eye rings are those? They look good. I'm doing lens and projector replacement soon on my 330 (currently has LCI lights) and I'm thinking of replacing the halos. I'd like to keep the round ones and avoid the F series flat bottom ones.
Yeah nevermind the e91 with a N54, I'm focused on the headlights. |

So from what I can tell : - headlights are OEM - Angel eyes got white and amber color - When I plug this LCI headlight on my pre-lci car, the amber angel was flashing with the flashers when the night lights were on. - Now back on an LCI car, no amber at all at any moment. - angel eye are mounted on a 3D printed bracket - there's some resistor and wiring involved. so, in conclusion, seems to be a kit from a small seller. |
