From your second picture, seems like your passenger (left) side needs to go down, and your driver side (right) needs to move to the left.

But you really need to find a level ground with a wall.

Thanks NiZmo Man!

Any updates on this for the R32 Projectors?

niZmO_Man.... is the Mini D2S 4.0 still the one to go for?

I'm looking for something that will be relatively easy to fit (don't mind a little dremel work) and stealth as HID in NZ is a WOF fail.....

 

do elaborate the procedure >_< when you get a chance

Diode on the high beam wire, so the current flows to the solenoid when you hit the highs.

The high beam bulbs on my car have a separate relay wiring, so I use the standard wires for activating the solenoid.

I didn't take pictures of my dodgy wiring, but I'll make a neater harness so will take pictures then.

In the mean time, Morimoto D2S 3.0 projector with Osram CBI bulb, did a quick retro:

Try getting that with a H1 LED bulb :P

So, I have a set of projector headlights that I intend on retrofitting and then performing a transplant for the N1s.

I have read through a lot of posts about HID conversions and some date back a few years. Is the best option the latest Mini D2S and stick to 35w / 4200k? I.e. no point in going above 35w and I am not interested in bright white / blue headlights.

Looking at Lightwerkz, it seems like you can buy the brackets as mentioned above:

Then build your own kit:

Not sure why Lightwerkz didn't list it anymore, but they used to let you select D2S or G5 projector to go with their R32 bracket.  G5 is cheaper and has identical dimensions to D2S, except the housing isn't painted black.  D2S has a more centralized hot spot and G5 is more spread out, you can check it out on their comparison videos.

Thanks @TXSquirrel I will check it out.

BTW, it does mention G5 at the bottom of the page:

    • Wow ELVIS. You have an....interesting approach to conversation. Did you not notice that I wasn't talking to you?
    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
