Hi,

Am new to the forum and this is my first post.

I am on the verge of ordering Halo's from SSDD but cannot decide which ones to go for [hmm . I know the differences between the 3 Generations of Halo's SSDD offer but would really like to see em in the flesh.

Is there anybody in the Birmingham area who has these fitted?

[Raj]

Welcme to the forum. Nice to see someone else from the Birmingham area here. Unfortunately, I do have halos fitted but not the SSDD ones so can't really help with that decision. But it is good to see you moddin' already.

[MistaSmiff]

Raj, Which Halo's do you have? and how easy were they to fit?

[Big m.o.]

if you can get hold of last month's Total BMW / BMW Performance, it'll illustrate how for retro fit.

I know it's not in the flesh but give Teddy a shout, I'm sure he has loads of pics of all the different types.

If you look at this (http://sankeys.demon.co.uk/forum/showpost.php?p=20321&postcount=16) post, you can see Teddy's with the next gen CCFLs on (I think) and everyone elses with the normal ones. Might be useful for comparison, hope it helps. :)

Shuriken.

Bought mine from M Style way back, and paid more than Teddy does them for (but I did not have the dash warning light issue and I don't need to keep the sidelight bulbs connected to stop this issue).

As for the fitting, they are very straight forward. No real issues and can be fitted in next to no time.

Black M3 with next gen halos on:

The tape mod stops the reflection in the centre of the lens (only visible in the centre lens as you don't have that issue with a xenon lens). The first gen ones are slightly smaller in diameter and a bit bluer.

HI there Mistasmiff!!

Cant help you with the Halo's cos i have a compact and teddy doesnt do nothing for the compact!! Do you Teddy LOL :D (Joke Tedster. NO man hug please)

I am in the west mids though. [cool So welcome again.

[BlackBimmerUK]

im from the east mids. I had the CCFLs fitted about a year ago. If you want me to send you some pics or anything give me a shout.

[MistaSmiff]

Chaos - Your car is awesome, thanks for posting that pic, but still difficult to decide. Would you say then that the Gen 1's are too small? ...come on be honest.. :D

BlackBimmer UK - Could you please send some pics, i'mm PM you my email.

Only ACS, Hamann and Hartge that really do a range for the Compact :confused:

At least Teddy got me some M3/5 replica mirrors for it though [ok Oh and a CAI to fit aswell

[MistaSmiff]

Whoooooo!..that last pick has definately done it!..I like the blue-tinge on the Gen 1's, i'm deffo going for those...thanks guys..

ok..so I suppose I really need to change all my bulbs now to Xenon-Effect to get the full impact when my headlights are on, and the Xenon fog bulbs too .. :rolleyes:

[Doc Matt]

hi mate, i'm from brum and i have the first gen halos which i love as the bluey effect is nice and goes with car and roof colour (well thats what i think anyway) there is no tape mod here, you are more than welcome to come (sutton coldfield/aldridge) to have a look and see what you think.

:)

[peppernick]

Another good pic of the Gen 1 CCFLs. Best time to show them off is around last light :cool:

[MistaSmiff]

Doc Matt..that is awesome [banana , I only live 20 mins from you, would really like to see them when it's dark so what time could I see them ?

There is so much I want to do to my car but I like to see mods in the flesh first.
