So what's going on here?
This adventure all started when I drove my e30 from Wisconsin to Utah and back for the 2021 Overcrest Rally. In an attempt to get home as quick as possible, I drove non-stop. 26 hours. With two 20-minute truck stop naps. While I did it, the drive through the night was terrifying.
Mission
I love my e30. I love working on it and changing things. But what I love most is that I can use it every day. I can put my kids in the back. I can get groceries and load up the trunk. But that also means that I want to be comfortable driving the car in all conditions - including at night. These retrofits started because I wasn't comfortable driving the car at night with the factory headlights. But I never wanted to sacrifice the look of the car.
​
My goal was always to give the car better lighting without anyone knowing (except at night). That's how we landed where we are today.
Vision
I made these for myself at the beginning. As I shared them I realized other people had the same issue. With no other options on the market for a DIY-friendly retrofit, I decided to make them available to everyone. I created ESG Prints, LLC and here we are today. I'm officially a small business owner making parts for the car and people I love.
