I just got a set of AE's off eBay off Bavarian_Motorwerks. I am considering doing them on '02 4.6is, built date of 11/01. I am considering "cutting" off the yellow portion of the corners and keeping the "mosaic" portion of the corners, so the new silver bulb is not exposed. I also was going to remove the plastic lens inserts for a clear look. I was considering wiring the AE's into the parking lights, since the parking bulbs in the front are dual filament, so one of the filaments is for blinking and the other one is for the steady on corner lights. This will eliminate the corner lights and will have the AE's instead. I have similar setup on my E39, where I put the clear corner Xenons with AE's. That kit came with special "Y" adapter that took the input from regular corners and split it into turn signal and AE's voltages. Once I figure out how to make that "Y" splitter for the E53, I will be ready to heat gun the lights and get the AE's in. I am located in Central PA and also spend a great deal of time in NoVA, Springfield &
Alexandria area (ZIP 22150 and 22315). My other projects will be installing OEM TV onto the Nav and getting a Bluetooth into the car. TerminatorX5
