3 series retrofit complete
finally, it is complete! there is at least 10 times more foreground lighting now than with the valeo projectors. there was a loss of color in the cutoff, but hell, the foreground lighting more than makes up for that. AND i have bi-xenon projectors so i have HID low AND HIGH!
