  • Welcome to ShopLifeTV!
    In this video I retrofit 3 inch projectors with a 5k HID Kit into my E46 Wagon. This process will work for many other vehicles as well, but some may require you to bake open your headlights in order to install the projector. The links for the products I used are below. You can also check out theretrofitsource.com for other brands and kits.

    Just bought myself an E46 and I have got to say having done some of the conversions this gentleman has shown on here, he has saved me probably hundreds of pounds and has also given me the hands on experience of taking on work I would have paid for. Thank you so much ShopLife TV. Keep the E46 videos coming. Excellent.

    Great video! So glad I found it as my 330i ZHP had HIDs, but the 03 M3 has the base lights. Even with 100W bulbs and relays, it's nowhere near the light output of the HIDs you put in. We're starting to promote our channel, which is about BMW car and motorcycle upgrades. How did you get to almost 100k subscribers? Dang, that's impressive! You've got one more this morning btw!

    Hey, good video, but I have a 2001 740i E38 and I was hoping for a video that breaks out that model. My driver side head lights keeps turning off, I have to turn the head lights off than back on to get it to re-light, and now it is getting harder and harder to keep it on. Do you know where I can get cheap 740i head light set ups?

  • @julianmcalister3247
    @julianmcalister3247 6 лет назад

    I appreciate your videos because they help me with a lot of questions I have. I do have one question that I can’t seem to find anywhere and it could save me a lot of time and money or maybe because I don’t know how to word it to search. Anyway, I found a great deal on projector headlights/housing for my car, but my car has factory halogen lights/housing. If I were to buy the headlight housing, with lights, would this be installable or work with my car? Would I have to have an external ballast to support the bulbs or does the housing for the projection lights have the ballast built in to them? I am not sure if this helps, but they are off a e46 that came with it. I can take this car apart and put it back together, but figuring out this is the hardest and it seems like it would be the easiest. Your response would be greatly appreciated for time and money sake.

      Most will try to get away with it but I did my lights yesterday and kept my fingers crossed as the gaskets are two thirds the price of the actual glass but I didn't get away with it. One side has moisture in it so I've just ordered 2 new gaskets from my local dealership. Always do it properly or waste your time.

    Hey your link to the Amazon Autolizer HID kit doesn't work anymore. I am using the Autolizer official website and there is an option for a "warning canceller" I'm guessing I need that for my E46 to cancel the canbus error. option is for 9 to 16V or 9 to 32V. I'm guessing you got the first option? Also there is an option Relay option, which one did you get? Thanks, trying to recreate your results.

    • @ShopLifeTV
      @ShopLifeTV  7 лет назад

      You could just get new bulbs and ballast since your stock ones are most likely worn out. Also if you have an e46, the projector bowls often burn on the inside causing a yellow tint to the light output.

    • @theluckydawg2498
