BMW e46 HID upgrade

[@garrettgiuffre8505]

my biggest thing with the e46 lights are not the aftermarket for them because you have a ton of projector and Angel eye options. I know the wiring is included but why has no one made a reproduction of the factory wiring.

[@randymcdandy1103]

What are those inner high beams I have a e46 m3 those would be perfect replacement for my high beams with my bi-xenons. Also great write up!!!

[@razorrich]

Outstanding informative vid. I don’t see your contact info, via email address or otherwise. Is there a way to get in touch with you or?

[@HansGarage]

ask for Jae :)

[@razorrich]

HAN'S GARAGE Will do. Thanks!

Hi my friend I am trying to figure out how you screw the bulb and the igniter can you help me

[@stephengolombecki8666]

Your links aren’t working. Trying to find those high beams online. Also, is there any coding or other modifications needed for the LCM and what not?

[@HansGarage]

No coding necessary. You may or may not need the canbus harness instead

[@HansGarage]

Also fixed the link for you

[@ibrahimeltony4865]

For me. It is the first time to see demonstration like this. Great work that Do the job. Wish to see how did you connect them with the wiring fixed. Especially the demon eyes and hailos.

[@pauloseglio4826]

Did you already do the wiring conexions video ? I’m just following your tutorial because I will do on my car this upgrade

[@417hatchimitsu]

Will this work with a ZKW headlight? If so, do I need to get a 3.0 or 2.5 lens retrofit? I would love to do this retrofit on mine. 01 E46 325I. Please let me know what is needed for this retrofit.

[@HansGarage]

Yes they will! www.theretrofitsource.com/morimoto-retroquik-bmw-e46-zkw-repair.html?gclid=Cj0KCQiA-bjyBRCcARIsAFboWg3_D-3eWH9oqd8e1IKxTtD5a8kgq278prKyjKBcJbA5RBPDplJ9GeAaAq0fEALw_wcB

[@skycotic1]

Hi , link no longer works

[@MarkvW]

You say that it is imortant to rotate the low beam before installation, makes sense. Is it still possible to ajust the headlight hight after installation?

[@HansGarage]

Yes and no. You can used your oem adjustable screws for the whole headlight but you will not be able to move your projectors once they are sealed

[@typhoon1493]

2nd week in to the e46 game ('05 zhp mani imola) and i find your tutorials extremely informative and easy to follow. awesome werk! thank you

[@theeballer6429]

Would it be possible to change my OEM D1S projector for a set of these Morimoto D2S 5.0 projectors? The 45 degree slope that it outputs looks way better than the almost 90 degree slope of my OEM D1S projectors.

[@rogojanghentbujordaniel9899]

Hi, my name is Daniel and I have a 75 rover with facelift headlights. I would like you to tell me if I can replace the long phase h9 halogen bulb with a xenon kit.? and what would that kit be. thank you. a beautiful day.

[@bloomvikung]

Does Hi-Lens (inner led bulb) also comes on when you activate highbeam (push stalk forward)?

[@henryvaiotu230]

u are Awesome Hans Garage..tell me which one would Fit for 2003 Nissan cube ??

[@borislavtodorov6191]

For bmw e46 original xenon projector witch morimoto projector fits without mods . 2.5 or 3 inches model

[@UnapologeticIslam]

Do you work for Morimoto?

[@awno6627]

How much power does one projector draw? I’m thinking about putting one on a ebike

[@knulleriboy]

What do you think about using a big step drill for making my H7 hole bigger to fit the D2S projector?

[@rola3564]

Hey, great and informative video. Which Dremel bit did you use?

[@JonnyQ408]

Some street lights are bright then the Halogen lights lol

@@HansGarage I have a 2016 BMW F10, and the stock HID Projector doesn't have a clean cut off compared to the Morimoto that you're using

[@HansGarage]

@@JonnyQ408 yea... sorry to hear that but all the oem projectors may not be as good and you don't want to open the oem housing to make it better

[@renjder]

dear Han thanks for all your e46 videos.. if u ever come to europe i live in the Netherlands your’e wellcome bro... chears..kurdish guy living in the Netherlands..

[@HansGarage]

I'll def hit you up when I'm there!

[@princewarior2554]

So what size the angel eyes halos is? 131 or 146?

[@5metoo]

Sorry for newb question, but the D2S is low and high beam,, and you used a separate LED high beam unit. So the D2S high beam is never turned on? Sorry if I'm missing the obvious.

[@HansGarage]

D2S is actually a single beam bulb. It's the projector that opens up for high beam from the low beam mode.

[@5metoo]

@@HansGarage Understood, I saw the part about the solenoid. But the D2S high beam mode can be used and I guess was intended to be used as the sole high beam light? But I guess you're using a splitter and getting the D2S high beam and the LED at the same time. Could there be any legal issues with that? Since high beam is under full user control I suppose it wouldn't be an issue unless one forgets to put on dim.

[@HansGarage]

No legal issues. They are solely meant for low beam and the projector solenoid opens it up for high beam mode. Which you can control it from your fingertips using the splitter.

[@artcop]

Hi- thanks for the detailed instructions. I have an E46 as well and plan to follow your project exactly but the link for Hi Lens projectors is still not working :-(

[@HansGarage]

Let me get that for you

[@HansGarage]

Actually, we are coming out with the 2.0 so we are all out of the hi lens 1.0

[@blongthao2895]

Which high beam splitter is that? need one for my e46 as well

[@HansGarage]

9006 - 9006/9006

Great vid - did you use a shroud for the hi-beam projectors?

[@HansGarage]

I did not. I actually liked the floating look so decided not to go with any shrouds

[@Delvii]

Hello planning on doing this on my bmw soon just wondering which hid kit would be best

[@HansGarage]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4C4o2mNmdGSa9k. Go with these instead!

[@Delvii]

@@HansGarage dang I wish I would of waited before I bought the hid setup to replace my halogens I’ll probably just switch to these instead. One question though I got the hid retrofit as of rn in my e46 but every time I turn them on they start blinking uncontrollably took it to the mechanic and they couldn’t figure it out they did tell me the wiring is fine in my car so I’m just confused as to why they don’t work. Thanks for led suggestion though but idk it just feels like a waste not to get the ones I have to work.

[@Delvii]

One more do you think it could be because I used a 55 watt ballast instead of a 35 watt one?

[@HansGarage]

@@Delvii you probably need a canbus harness to make your HID bulbs not flicker

What kind of screws did the projector have? I want to know so I can take it apart and space out the lens for more color in the cutoff
