Had a day off work and managed to pay Teddy a [rather surprise] visit. Top man couldn't be more than accommodating. These things are VERY difficult to photograph and the pictures just don't do them justice, they are so clear and OEM looking, I was pleasantly surprised :)

An idea as to just how bright these things are - CCFL on their own without Xenon:

The pic that inspired me to CCFL - very nicely modded M3s btw:

I now need to lower the right bulb as it is dazzling a little high and it also emits a bluer tint - I've discovered that if you lower these 6000k bulbs they come off very white with little to no blue tint, the opposite when you raise them :)

Take pics at 45 degrees to the headlight Raj, you get all the colour and none of the glare/dazzle. Colour match is bang-on with the halos though, looks nice. :)

I did notice that your driver side headlight was a bit high mate as it was a bit tight to get the wires through the top gap.

Very nice comparasion shots mate, well done :)

Oi never ever ring me at about 9am in the morning again! I am still in bed! And fitting service is done by appointment only wahahahaha LOL

only kidding mate, was nice to meet you ;) your car looks awesome! I though it was a CSL initially!

Cheers guys, very pleased with them :)

I now want Teddy's Eisenmann exhaust and center section after hearing it - so much more refined than my SS LTW Race exhaust....

So the 6000K bulbs are whiter than the standard ones? Are they brighter aswell or just the cleaner colour? How much do these beauts go for? Nice pics by the way.
