OK, I started doing a lighting upgrades on my E28 five years ago, and it gets LOTS OF ATTENTION. Then I did similar upgrades for an E24 six, then an E23 seven, then an E12 fiver Euro (that one was fun- an Euro car), and so on to the E21 and E30 cars. I FINALLY decided to try my most ambitious upgrade in a pair of E30 lights.
I just finished two pair - both for Cabriolets - and decided while I had them on the bench, to go one step further, do the Full-Blown Upgrade, my Plus Six.
I built a prototype, and it turned out so nice I decided to post the results here and see if there's anyone who might be curious about it.
I am happy to report I succeeded! My 'High Performance Rear Lights - E30 Early' has an additional bulb with both tail and brake light, doubling the size of these functions.
Your lights are transformed from a single tail, single brake light to Double Tails, Double Brakes, all totally stock looking. I just put bulbs where BMW did not. Makes a huge improvement visibility and reliability, being much brighter... a good thing these days with all the LED tail lights out there.
The Extreme Upgrade takes this one step further, for Triple Tails, Double Brakes, and again looking totally stock. This is the Ultimate Incandescent Upgrade
using the Krypton gas filled high output lamps, nickel base, and NOT super high wattage, just more light. No melting wires, lenses, switches, etc. ALL the red lens lights up with tails, and two thirds light brightly with brakes.
I will post pictures of the results here, so stay tuned - anybody who does NOT want to meet someone new over the trunk as you 'Exchange Information' following a crash involving your beloved.
Big Discount - I am closing in on my One Hundredth Pair of Upgrade Lights, and doing a 50% Discount for the person who orders and pays for this 100th set. I've made way more than 100 lighting upgrade kits, this is specifically about a SERIAL NUMBERED SET, reserved for the serious upgrades.
I will announce details in the near future, so think about how nice it would be if you were never tail-gated again, and when you lock up the binders, everyone behind you does too!
This is what better rear lighting can do: help other folks play nice in the sandbox, and that's a good thing for you and for everyone!
Aus Freude am fahren!
