Welcome to the club, don't worry the bug to add mods will fester in you until you finally break down and buy some stuff for your H3. We've all been bitten by it.

Hello,
How good to see a Hummer in Germany. I may get transferred to Heidelberg Germany for a job. Do you know if there are Hummer dealerships near Heidelberg to service my Hummer?

Heidelberg is great! If you aren't married or want to renew you vials -- you can rent out the chapel in the castle =)
The dealership is Kroymans; however, keep in mind if you HUMMER is still under its U.S. warranty, it will not (typically) be honored. If there is a TSB, these will typically be addressed. This is not anything specific to HUMMER regarding warranty, e.g., you'll have the same joy with your Chevy, Ford, etc. Kroymans will, of course, take your money to do any work you might need or desire.
You can email HUMMER.com and ask them the question. They will typically responded with (1) ignoring your email (repeatedly), or (2) scaring the living sh*t out of you by telling you your warranty would become "null and void".
If by the rare chance you bought your HUMMER through AAFES (when they still sold GM cars), then you will okay.
If you have any success with warranty work, PLEASE let me know. If you have anyone telling you differently and can support their words, PLEASE let me know.
Oh, you may need to do some light modifications. And, if you do not have base privileges, you will be looking at roughly $9 per gallon -- gallons go quick, as there are tons of things to do and see here.

Also, GreigerCars--down south near Munich--recently held a HUMMER get together, and they can plop a turbo in your ride. LOL- and Munich and Garmisch rock too!

Hi General,
Welcome to the forum. Looks like you are having fun there in Cologne. Did you buy it directly from a dealership here in Germany? Your lights look like they are US-spec --
was your H3 made in the US or South Africa?

Thank you for all your posts!
First of all, yes it's built in the US. But it has the changes you need for the German administration. These are: Yellow blinkers no red, no yellow lights steady on while driving, a rear fog light and because you have your backup lights there where I have the blinkers now I need a extra backup light added. These are the main changes I guess. I bought it at Kroymans with a 4 year warranty.

The distance to the US makes it easy for me to resist against modifications on our Hummer. There are nearly no parts available on the german aftermarket and the shipment from the US is expensive. I bought 55$ only shipment for the transport of all weather floor mats now. The only mods we made are interior audio and video system and parking sensors back and front. The exterior parts like the step bars and the fuel door were still on it. The only advantage I have is the really cheap dollar for me now. So I could think about some mods.

These are the main changes I guess. I bought it at Kroymans with a 4 year warranty.
I have these same sort of mods.
For the rear, my red blinkers were disabled, my reverse lights are now amber turn indicators, and I have a dangling single reverse light and a dangling red fog light. The danglers are KCs which take the H3 55w and 35w bulbs. I increased these to (I think) 130w (backup) and 85w (fog).
For the front, my ambers were disabled, and "parking lights" were added. The latter was done by drilling a small hole in the side of the headlight housing and inserting a small white bulb. On the sides, the amber reflectors were made "active". These now are side turn indicators.
All this work cost approximately $2000, and I even supplied the KC danglers. I have been thinking about trying to locate a set of the South African tail light assemblies, and seeing if the rear could be rewired and BCM modified to allow my rear end to look more like the non-US H3s. This would allow me to have 2 (higher up) backup lights. When I first got my H3 into Germany, I squashed the front of a BMW. I never saw it in my mirrors, and I am not sure if my backup light was not so low that they never saw me coming until I was a top of them.
My H3 was bought in the US and shipped over, so sadly I have no warranty. How do you find Kroymans? Knowledgeable? Expensive? The ones down here are okay. I have been thinking about having GreigerCars near Munich add a turbo, but I am not sure I have that much extra money to waste.
