On starting work again this year I had a sudden urge to do something about the poor lights on the Coupe so thought I'd try out a HID kit having seen a few guys on here do it and the pictures Maahny has posted up of his kits. I was almost tempted to grab a kit from Evo-S with the recent price drop but decided to try out a set off the 'bay so just chose the seller with a decent amount of positive feedback on their kits.
Fitment for the Z3 Low Beam is 9006 and I went for a 6000k kit, so £70 + shipping and 24 hours later this nifty box arrived, it's even made for the M series ;)
As predicted they were a doddle to fit and took about half an hour what with mounting the ballasts neatly etc. Here is a 50/50 shot, HID on left and Standard on right:
and then both sides:
The difference is awesome, and seriously worth the small outlay
Now I just need to sort out the "orange" looking side lights!!
I've posted up all the pictures I took during the install here: http://www.mdracing.co.uk/mcoupe_hid.asp
And written a fitting guide for those wanting to fit their own here: http://www.mdracing.co.uk/howto10.asp
