I'm slowly starting to want Angel Eyes.. But with the new laws being introduced to MOT's regarding HID's, does anyone know any more about this? Or how it would affect me if I bought some? Also does anyone with an E36 have angel eyes and a pic for meee? Thanks!

If they are rings, they are an addition, so can be turned off, so will pass an MOT mate.

Post some pics up of what you have seen and we will be better help.

On an E36 they will be an additional kit that you fit to the current headlight units.

Wire them to sidelights and they will be perfectly legal, as long as they aint blue i think.

LOL no ones perfect,you wont look back now you have a BMW, The HID law is for a very good reason, they have caused accident and they tend to be installed by idiots who believe taking a woman on a date is a Burger King.

E36 Angel Eyes their are thousands of Kits out there, Personally i would find one that can be built into your current head lamp units(the front casing just unclips), after market head lamp units tend to be of "interesting" quailty.

Okay well I have found some on eBay that apparently just slot into my current headlights. But they seem far too cheap?! 30 squids for the whole thing?

Ian, do they sound alright though? And everything I need is included? Thank you for the links, I understand it a little better now :)

without personally using them, I cannot comment. However they only have 5 negative feedback regarding these in the last year, only one of them was about the product itself and they have sold 11 units this month alone, as with all after market bits, take time and care to fit them and you should be onto a winner.

Either way pay by pay pal and if your not happy the pay pal scammer(sorry i mean ebay buyer protection) will refund you.

Okay sounds good to me. I think I'll go with this one then. A friend of mine owns a workshop so I'll ask him to fit them for me and shall update you soon! :)

      BMW 318i boot locked can’t get into

      Update: I checked my battery and it charged in 5 minutes, so I don't have to find another alternator. All seems to be OK except for the plastic "L"s with a short rubber hose that bypass the HV/AC solenoid. Those get clogged after @ 150,000-190,000 miles (if distilled water wasn't used) and cause air pockets that try to burst radiators. I have a few more brass "L"s, so now I can throw the plastic ones away. I have to be careful I don't fog the windows though, without heat or cool.

      105C thermostat replacement

      You are absolutely right. The strange thing is that when I put the chassis number on the realoem it shows that the temp sensor is not applicable on my vehicle. I will physically check for a sensor. In the meantime, do you think that the removal of the MAP activated thermostat will effect the temp gauge on the dial instrument item 6? I am tempted to add a dummy resistor , 11.5ohms - 13watts , to simulate the MAP thermostat. Your thoughts?

      SLIPPING CLUTCH

      Morning Andrew I normally disconnect the Neg lead only, some folks disconnect both a few even say disconnect both and touch them together. Goes without saying both sensor plugs need to be checked and a squirt of contact cleaner applied never hurts 😅 Dave

      SLIPPING CLUTCH

      Hi Dave, I fitted one of the sensors on the rear but it has made no effect as the light is still there, I will fit the other sensor tomorrow and see how it goes then. You mention the disconnect the battery, is there any pattern to this ? is it both leads or just the negative lead? cheers Paneuro.
