You will need to code out the side lights cold check function in the LCM to avoid the 3 second flickering when you first turn on the ignition.

Thanks for the recommendation. I did buy a pair of LED bulb replacements before but off ebay (yeah I know... lol) and they just were not that bright. I figured it had to do with how the light is shining to the halos and it was losing a lot of light that way. Really thats what I want is as close as I can get to the new BMW halos so I will definitely check those out!

That seems to be the problem, no one makes replacement headlights for facelift E53's/later models. Oh wells I think I will give what Overboost said above a shot!
Thanks for all the suggestions guys!
