I have written this article to assist anyone intent on overhauling the general exterior and internals of the headlight as there seems to be no subject on how the whole thing can be broken into component parts for cleaning, inspection and repair. It may also be a help should you wish to remove...

Hydraulic oil can be changed. However, the roof will have to be removed. My friends Z4 motor had the dreaded water ingress and the hydraulic oil had been poisoned by water as the filling screw at the top was loose needing a full hydraulic flush through. Well worth it. I will be doing a how to in...

Hi all! The last "How To" on this subject was not as clear as I wanted and the photographs were pretty crap, so I have made quite a few amendments with better photographs PREFACE I had an intermittent fault on the headlight servo (Hella part no. 734 857-00 BMW 8 372 381 ) which would fail...

If your ever lurking in Suffolk, drop by and I'll have a look!

My friend had the same trouble and decided to mutilate the pins in the plug before I got a chance to look at it. The pins are far to small to solder unfortunately :(

Hi all. I had an intermittent fault on my headlight alignment auto test when the ignition was placed into position 1. The headlight would dip and not return to the correct position, no matter how many times the ignition would be reset. the only cure would be to take the back cover off the...

Excellent work! I feel another upgrade coming on! I have replaced all my turn indicators with LED and they give a nice clean snappy flash.

They look superb! Have you got one fitted to show comparison? Also interested in the foglights. I installed cree HID main beams which came up with the bulb error even though they were supposed to be canbus, but I think the ones you found are a better match. You must keep me informed if you do...

Apologies for not posting a direct link, being a newbie, I wasn't sure if direct links were allowed. No canbus errors at all either. I have uploaded a couple of pictures to show how effective they are at night time. Sorry for poor quality pics, the Iphone has a mediocre camera.

Hi! A relatively easy upgrade as I found the OEM 382 bulb pretty poor in illuminating the way when propelling back. I found this (screenshot) on ebay for about £18 from the car-mod-shop-ltd :- Installing was a doddle...... Took 3 minutes. Remove the cover Source the bulb location Here...

Excellent write up buddy! :thumbsup:

You are most welcome. I remembered getting the kit and having a meltdown :fuelfire: at the space needed to fit it all in as I really did not want to drill through the cover :/

Hi! I took a few photos of my recent upgrade as there isn't much on the subject of HID upgrades here and I hope it already adds to the stuff that is out there by other fellow contributors on this great forum. Firstly, not going without saying, you need a lovely warm sunny day to do this, I had...

Hope this helps.......... I only wash the soft top with "Johnsons" baby shampoo applied with a dedicated sponge and agitate gently with a very soft bristle brush in the direction of the canvas if it gets grubby using a childs toothbrush to get into the corners and the nitty gritty bits. Not...

Hi, I hope not to tread on anyones toes here with the mods. As the gentleman describes above, I too encountered a rattle at low speeds or just brishing the throttle with my little toe which totally ruined the whole fun of driving with both bungs out. I did find a solution to this by taking the...
