My new obsession

MYV · 03-30-2010, 05:27 PM

Wanted to throw up some pics of my car now

I got matte black grills and rd LEDs for my e92.
What do you guys think?

Sorry about the crappy pics, I was using my phone's camera.

A before shot of my car.

Installed Grills

Another shot (black roundel vinyls from bimmian)

Racing Dash LEDs

Another angle

Yet another angle.

Nice! Looks 100x better with the matte black grills. What phone is that? The pictures aren't that bad.

Looks good. Welcome!

MYV · 03-30-2010, 07:30 PM

Thanks for all the positive comments guys!

One small question:

The outer ring is dimmer which annoys me haha is there anyway to make it match the smaller ring?

Took random pics while I was waiting in a parking lot.

I guess its hard to tell unless your looking at it in person.

Without other black mods the black is too much. I vote for chrome.

MYV · 03-30-2010, 10:29 PM

Nevermind about the ring brightness question I had. Did a bit more searching and found that its just the way the lights were designed. The outer ring is always dimmer because the light needs travel farther through a tube?

Has anyone thought about sticking two LEDs on one side so that the outer ring equals the inner? Balancing that would be ridiculous though.

There is no way around this. It's a design flaw from BMW. If you want a better angel eye solution you should check out the LUX H8 or the OSS design angel eye retrofit.
