The ///M-Powered Expatriate

• Thursday, December 15, 2005 - A Quick and Dirty Update

I'm headed to the Alps for an extended weekend, so a more respectable entry will have to wait just a bit.  That said, the Royal F1 (SMG) Paddles review I mentioned last week is now underway.  

 

For those interested in my early impressions, the product quality is definitely up to par, and the install took me all of  90 seconds per side.  Things have definitely gotten off to an impressive start ...

 

Next up?  Keep your eyes open for one more impending review; this time on the Streamline Engineering E46 M3 OEM form factor air filter panel.

• Monday, January 16, 2006 - Reflectors vs. Bulbs

Posted by armychief
Art,

My apologies for not spotting this earlier.

The short answer to your question is that my "turn signal mod" involved nothing more than a simple bulb change. The reflector housing was not changed; I merely swapped out the amber-tinted amber-lighting OEM bulb for the blue-tinted amber-lighting OEM bulb. Not much of a change, really.

The net effect of this foolishness IS clearly visible through the reflector lenses, but subtle enough as to almost be laughable. I suppose some folks might take notice of such a thing, but it's pretty small potatoes to me. :)
