    They're based on euro ellipsoids so they used H1 bulbs and different connectors. They do however give you a cheap 9006/9005 conversion harness that will get you going if your car originally came with US spec ellipsoids.

            My e30 is out of commission because a lovely little feisty drunk girl vomited on the carpet in the back. I scrubbed best I could, and baking soda is currently sitting on it. Nothing on the seats or trim, just the carpet.

              I'd hardly consider that out of commission.

                    Pull out the carpet and scrub it with laundry detergent or degreaser and power wash it at the dollar car wash

                      I have standards, Glen. That car is un-driveable until it smells like peaches and roses again

                      Haven't tried tuff stuff. Will give it a look.

                      Pull out the carpet? YEAH JUST LIKE THAT? WHOOP, IT'S OUT! Nah man I gotta devote several hours for that. Yeah I'll look into renting a steam cleaner/pressure washer too.

                        Anyone have any experience with Brembo OE replacement rotors? Debating between Zimmermann, TEXTAR and the Brembos.

                          Avoid Brembo, stick with the others.

                            5 bucks will get you a can of TUFF STUFF. That shit works miracles.

                              Thanks, good to know. I think I'm going to do Akebono pads with the Zimmermanns.

                                Why? I went with zimmerman last time I replaced them fwiw. They seemed fine.
