Default Another V-LEDs w/module DRL Install

Install was a #%#@. Shredded my arms. Results were great. Tried the high beams on a dark road and it was pretty good. I was also able to squeeze the module into the housing. Here is the link to purchase:

Looks awesome!! I too was a little late on the PM. I can't believe you got the module to fit in the dust cover! I gave up on that after about 30 min or so. Nice work!!

Nice M3 too, btw

No problem. I am in Delray, but I go up to Ocala to visit my uncle. I will look you up when I am passing through.

Thanks! When I pm'ed you guys I was ready to throw the workbench through the windshield. An hour of futzing with it. It took me another 30 min to get it in. My back was killing me today . I could do it in my sleep now. I would go back and fit it under if you can. As Btwanky mentioned, you dont want the moisture getting in and the wires may be crimped too much.

Yes sir. The E46 is the track car. Great machine. The other two:

As many comparisons that have been done by magazines, I personally feel that they are two totally different cars. The ISF is my daily driver. After a hard day of work when you want a relaxing drive, the ISF gives it to you. The shifts are smooth and the car is quiet (though the shocks could use better rebound). The fit and finish (specially the leather seats) and reliability is amazing. When you want to drive aggressively, simply switch to manual for neck snapping shifts and torque galore.

The M3 is the weekend car when you want to have fun. The handling in the M3 is hands down better. Overall, it is a better driver's car I think.

Both great cars. Any true unbiased car enthusiast can see the merits (and demerits) in each car.

Interesting stuff but pretty much online with what I've heard about the two. Thanks!
