Nice mod. I'm thinking about doing this when I'm doing my interior in the spring.

dude that looks pretty freakin awesome.

what exactly did you have to modify? i think i might pick one of these up to and sell my maplight mirror.

what exactly did you have to modify?

It looks like he started out with a normal E34 dome light and took it apart and cut (Dremel'd or whatever) the center portion (the area between the two individual maplights) to make it fit inside the check panel area.

Interesting idea, these cars were plagued with poor interior lighting, this is an alternative to a maplight mirror.

Looks fucking cool, I would be interested in more info too.

Screw the check system, this would be so much more useful.

Great job in astectics, wiring and making it happen!!


However, I personally don't like it..

[dude8383]
