Got my Euro Elipsoids

[James Crivellone]

However I cannot find the part number for the connectors to use for my car.

I currently have sealed beams, so I need to splice the harness obviously. Also what fuse ratings do I need to use higher wattage bulbs :)


thanks dudes :)

that may or may not help....

if you have sealed beams you will not need connectors i believe because the h4/h3 bulbs use the same connectors. i don't know if you need to install a higher fuse though. you can ask someone that has installed them. if i find out i'll let you know.

the euro's use H1's, so I do need to splice the connectors

[Spaz]

the h1's are the highbeams though right???

low and high IIRC

[Ryan Stewart]

both low and high. You can still build the plugs using the parts and the waterproof rear covers listed on e30m3therealm3.com but you will need to get the plug part # for the low beam.

Then do the relay mod.

Connectors? bah. I soldered and sealed everything with silicone.

Those lights will see HIDs anyway, so those connecters will be cut/modified.

I like to be neat :p

my ellips should be here wednesday. I'm not putting them in though until I get my urethane covers from bavauto, there's too many gravel trucks around here.

the warming step is very important.

How much those run apiece?

James, PM e304lfye on the part #'s needed, he helped me out when I got mine a while back, he should be able to give you the #'s since the one on that link (e30m3therealm3) are euro connectors and cost alot more than others you can use. I went from sealed beams to euro ellipsoids, and once you get it done you'll flip at how damn good they are.

Just for info: My connectors didnt have to be modified.

Thanks!
Props to E30bokes on Bimmerforums for that though, I lack artistic talent. :oops:
