I have the stock '88 ellipsoids in my cabrio, and while they're not as bright as the modern, obnoxiously bright headlights, they are SOOOOOO much better than the stock headlights in my E36M3, which $uck! I'm going to upgrade the E36 lights eventually, but my E30 lights are fine the way they are. _________________ Cirrusblau '88 325iC 5-speed

Dale, I had the hella's in my old 87 and the only down fall that I could see was they were so bright that when your lights reflected off of a road sign it would almost blind you. Maybe that's why the upgraded bulbs say off road use only. I did run them for 5 years with no trouble, not even with the cops. Just make sure you dim your lights fast as the highs sure could blind an on coming car as I got high beamed quite a few times until I got really fast with the dimmer switch. I had the 100 watt in the highs and 80/100 in the lows. I do remember I had to go with a bigger fuse as they would blow the stock ones. Never did give me any trouble after that. I don't think xenon are any brighter but I could be wrong. Wouldn't be the first time. |
