Just wondering...dosen't that block your intercooler?

 

their intercooler is located on top i believe

 

ahhh...I was thinking turbo not supercharged.

 

One more pic...

 

i just order my rally lights from alta as well as can cai. did u install them yourself?

 

Does anyone know where to get this bracket?

 

I believe OutMotoring has one like that for the R56.

 

Here's a picture of my recently installed Hella 1000's on a self-made bracket. There's a thread on it in the Clubman section showing the install. I plan on painting the silver trim rings black as soon as the weather gets better here.

 

I like your yellow headlight rings! It makes the car look almost like an R53 (that's good)

Thanks. I chose the Yellow instead of black to make them look smaller.

 

My recently installed new grille and Hella 500 driving lights.

Did you forget that you had the car painted too? jk

looks good - did you run the relay to the parking lights or fog lights?

 

I really like those covers... nicely done.

 

Does anyone know if the outmotoring brackets can be used in conjunction with the Alta intercooler? From looking at the pictures it looks like it is possible but a very tight fit.

 

Hahaha, I know. Oxygen Blue looks different in almost every lighting environment.

We ran the relay to the fog lights. And everyone and their mom is telling me I'm going to get pulled over.

 

How did you mount them? I have a pair of Hella 500s but I'm not sure what's the best way to mount them to the car.

 

They came with brackets that mount inside and come out through slots on the grille. I wish I could tell you where it all came from because it came together very well-but it was a gift and I don't know!

 

I'm guessing it was the VIP Custom Parts brackets and grille then. I just ordered a set from them so I can finally get mine installed!

Can someone post their wiring setup? Preferably connected to high-beams. I'd like to have somewhat of an idea of where the wires go before trying it for myself.

 

Hella 1000 "Black Magic" on modded Out Motoring brackets (Australian/Euro spec front structure is apparently different ). Fabulous spread of light, which is what I wanted - not a huge distance. Not the world's sturdiest lights, but OK if you're not going rallying. Black appearance means they're more subtle, which is in keeping with the look I wanted.


Larger pics in my gallery (because I can't remember how to post them full size )

Hella have a prewired kit with relay, fuses, cabling and an adaptor which connects to the back of the headlight plug - this is set up so that the lights only come on with high beam. There's also a switch in the kit, so you can turn off the driving lights when you only want the standard high beam - I did away with the switch, but it depends on local regs. In Australia, it's Hella part number 5223 and the info is here:

Having fought driving light wiring over the years (and mostly lost ) I think this kit is great!

 

I have a set of Hella 500s, is that the switch that comes with them?

 

Here is a couple of pictures of the 03 and 09. The 09 had the Hella 500 wtih the original grill. Didn't like all of the chrome so bought a JCW and some Black Magics. l agree l like the light spray. Had the 09 for 3 months now and have a little over 12,000 miles on it Got it with 7 miles!!

 

PIAA 520 SMRs with black housings. These throw serious photons.

 

These are factory lights with Black Housing, don't think I saw any so figured I would add them:
