The password wasn't hard to crack. Got it on my first attempt.

Good guide, though.

Yeah, but I recently fitted new Merc projectors as the old ones gave up. They're definitely cool.

And why doesn't anyone refer to it as my car?

If your asking me to make some for you ...... sorry no can do I just dont have the time these days. I've still got a set of projectors sitting in my garage from a new age Mini that I was planning to retrofit into my run-a-about corsa.

Give it a go mate I'm always around if you need any advise or help.

They look cool, but before you cut up your headlights I'd check the cut off and light pattern. - Just to be on the safe side.

IMHO I'd have gone for OEM rather than aftermarket, 100% better eg eBay Motors: BMW E46 M3 Xenon Projectors Headlights Retrofit HID KIT (item 380067622380 end time Oct-25-08 18:33:06 PDT)

At the end of the day its gonna be an improvement on the OEM headlights we all hate

Keep us posted anyway

How difficult would it be to fit projectors into the INNERS of a pair of classic Morettes?

The first problem AFAICS will be that the reflector/lens is a single unit with a glass lens and metal refelctor.

I wondered about completely removing the light unit and fitting something else, like a projector, or a Hella 90mm unit like fitted to the P1.
