Hi guys

Just back from a visit to trups to have my stock units upgraded.
Trups used the Morisot mimi H1 projectors, iris chrome shrouds and his em xenonkit.
I stayed during the process and he was great, explained every part of the process as he went, he was impressive to watch. During each stage the unit would be test fitted and adjusted checking for the correct levels as he went. The change is amazing and that's just in the work shop. The finish is OEM I'm looking forward to using in the dark and will post pics ASAP. For this type of upgrade he explained the process he goes through when selecting the unit to use, i witnessed first hand him taking apart a unit he was thinking of using to ensure it met his high standards of quality.
I'm glad I got him to complete the upgrade there are so many tools he used which I didn't have I know I would do broken the light or my fingers, it's clear he is passionate about what he does like he said it's his name at stake. For me I didn't want to mess it up and be left with my motor off the road or blind people.
Big thank you Trups high recommended

Price depends on the motor best give T8ups a mail for a quote. You could mess around with different bulbs but the upgrade is in my opinion the best way to go

Couldn't agree more, our B8 was one of the first @t8ups did this conversion on and we've been very happy with the results, lovely crisp bright lights with neat cut off and great spread!

Yes the lads at work we're amazed at the cut off and spread. Used them the other morning loads of country lanes it was great the light enables to the see so much more. Defo a lot safer.
