    Map light mirror worth the moneys?

    Found a good deal on a maplight mirror. Just wondering if you who have ourchased them think they are worth it? There is a dome light in the e30, iam just curious if you found the maplight mirror to be worth the 100bux? I could have one for 90cdn shipped to my door, which i thought is a good deal. But i could also keep the cash and put towards some more useful mods. Although 90buxs in not a lot of money so im leaning towards picking it up. What you guys think? worth the cash or no?

      I think it's worth the $50-80. Makes reading maps and directions and such infinitely easier.

          I've had no problems using the dome lights in the E30. I was going to buy one for the bling factor, but I decided against it. I couldn't justify the cost.
          The BMW 318 is back. With a vengeance.

              oh shit that can replace the check panel which would make more useful space of that area, since us 318is guys have that shitty SRS and safety belt indicator lol

                My maplight mirror is quite useful, considering how much the E30 dome lights suck

                    IMO, the maplight mirror is one of the best upgrades you can do. It definitely "modernizes" the interior ergonomics.

                      Maplights are very nice to have. Worth the $$ IMO.

                        i like mine for sure. the stock domes are behind your head so you cast a shadow on everything... the maplights are great as they light things up but dont shine in your eyes so you can continue to drive

                          I have no interior, no headliner etc etc. Maplight to me is a must have mod.

                            Hands down worth the cost.
                            If ya have a Vert' then you pretty much NEED one, as the 1 stock lite doesn't do sh!t. I pulled the one from my iS' the day I brought my Vert' home but haven't installed it yet due to the xtra work needed to install it (verts have NO mounting plate on the windshield frame)
