so as i finally decide that maybe now is the right time to start a little modding out of nowhere i notice my headlight is out after much troubleshooting it turns out to be a lcm issue, have found some for sale and the stealership seems to want a kidney for one,

so after some research have also found that our lcm are the same as used in e39 bmw's long story short i just ordered 4 chips off of mouser.com and keeping my fingers crossed that i receive them fast and will keep this thread updated as i know there will be many to follow with this problem.
the side project i thought i would tackle was to update the look of the exhaust and possible straight pipe.
