The Random E46/ZHP Question Thread

Attachment 11994

Wasn't expecting this. Look right above the label, sorry for the fuzzy pic... VR melted at positive terminal. This could've caught on fire... Avoided one heck of a disaster. Gonna get a warranty replacement. Moving on :)

For people who have done starter DIY:

Does the positive cable that leaves from the voltage regulator go directly to the starter or somewhere else ?

EDIT: Answer - yes. How much of a PITA would it be to replace just that ?

I thought this thread was going to be useless/redundant at first… nvm :)


Does anybody know which lights use less power?
1.) Xenon vs Halogen
2.) Halogen main lights vs fog lights

If I remember, Xenon uses 35W and Halogen uses 55W.

Foglights should be the same as the halogen at 55W unless you guys change it from stock wattage.

man halogens fail all the way around. can't believe my ZHP didn't come w/ them!

Huh?

I dont understand?

They're not nearly as bright and they use more energy than xenon. I was surprised my ZHP didn't come with them as an option.

Do a retrofit. Pretty straightforward.
