Hi guys,

Another new month and as usual we will be bringing more new stuff in, even for the not so common models plus provide more services. We will be expanding our coverage on non-bmw makes such as Mercedes, Audi, VW, Porsche etc as most of the bros are just switching in between these makes and/or have these makes besides their bimmers. We will trying to bring in more mods such as spoilers, grilles and lighting such as the not so common D3s xenon bulbs and of course coding services ;)

As for BMWs, we have actually brought in more mods such as the PP lip for the F30s and even grilles for the less common models like the F07GT.

Do stay tuned for more updates.

Negative Example of AE LED Markers Installation


Negative Example of AE LED Markers Installation
Bro Ivan came to us with his e90lci (Non-halogen headlight set) complaining that the ae led he installed elsewhere was not bright. At 1st thought, we did told him to manage his expectations as E series AE won't be as bright as F series but when he showed us his ride, something's definitely wrong with the ae lights he installed.

Upon checking, we found the ae led to be dimly litted and the wiring spliced and tapped on. Although ae led markers might look the same to layman, the real difference lies in the components such as the body, heatsink, circuit board, resistors, LED chips etc. You can see folks becoming "internet experts' telling you how many watts = very bright, using what Cree chip but its not that simple. There need to be a balance of wattage and heat, the type and grade of the Cree chip. Even the soldering paste heat tolerance plays an important part.
Lastly, we get our engineers to sort out at the factory end so everything is simply plug n play. So we put on ours on 1 side and he saw the difference.

Products on the outside might looks the same at 1st sight, be it lights, grilles, spoilers but for the discerning customers, compatibility, reliability, lifespan, fitment, material and etc are what's more important. The mindset, skillset of the installer also matters. No shortcuts should be taken or installation be forced upon in order to get things to fit or work.

Uncle Tan VW Passat B8 with Bimshop LED Foglight Kit
The Foglight casing of the Passat is angular so you can see exactly where our lights are shining, in case some of you might be wondering is it bright due to the xenons being switched on.
