Wow! That is fantastic! I don’t suppose it would work with an e12 by any chance?

Thanks!

Could you email the HGL support account? It should work in an e12 but nobody has tested it yet so far as I know.virginpilot wrote: ↑Jun 16, 2022 7:05 PM Wow! That is fantastic! I don’t suppose it would work with an e12 by any chance?

WIth Galahad's help, I just did a write-up on the technology of torpedo (bullet) vs. blade fuses. Hope y'all enjoy it:

Re: Blade Fuse Retrofit Kits
That’s a fantastic write up, thank you for posting it! I can’t wait until the e12 retro kit is available, I’ll get one straight away for my 528i
Re: Blade Fuse Retrofit Kits
The E28 kit works with the E12. The fuse box and wiring are the same.virginpilot wrote: ↑Jun 22, 2022 6:02 PM That’s a fantastic write up, thank you for posting it! I can’t wait until the e12 retro kit is available, I’ll get one straight away for my 528i

Hi Cek, thanks for that! Galahad told me that there is an actual e12 one in development? Is that correct?
Thanks Scott
Thanks Scott
Re: Blade Fuse Retrofit Kits
There's no separate e12 board, we recently confirmed the e28 panel works in e12 based cars as well.

Re: Blade Fuse Retrofit Kits
Thank you Galahad! I will go ahead and order one. I am a little nervous about fitting it, is it relatively straightforward?
It will be awesome to get rid of those horrible bullet fuses and I’m sure it will make things a bit safer too!

Re: Blade Fuse Retrofit Kits
I'd say it's straightforward, most people seem to install them without issue. It usually takes a couple hours, make sure you read through the instructions and take your time.

And pictures, lots of pictures!

Re: Blade Fuse Retrofit Kits
Thank you everyone for your advice! I’ll definitely do that. My e12 is garaged and only goes out in fine weather and at the moment it’s cold and wet here in Melbourne, Australia so I definitely won’t be rushing it! I’ll order one later today. I don’t suppose there are any discount codes? I’m just being cheeky
Cheers Scott.

Re: Blade Fuse Retrofit Kits
Sadly, we will be raising prices soon given the significant increase in component costs driven by supply-chain issues, fuel price increases, and the chaotic global situation.
