Noob question about lights and interior trim

[razrv3]

OK, here's the deal, my X5 came with factory Xenon lights installed, but the ones that are built-in the bumper (don't know how they call them) are yellow which in my opinion looks pretty bad.
My question: is there aftermarket Xenon-like lights (conversions) for those 2 little "bumper" lights, and if yes, where they could be found and how are they called?

Another question: does anybody have light wood trim (walnut?) and aluminum handbrake/pedals installed, and if yes, how does it look?

Many thanks

A couple of guys have tried HID foglights and like them. There were some concerns about heat and longevity though. I can't remember who they got the kit from but I think the cost was around $400. Most people have just changed the foglight bulb from the yellow looking stock bulb to a whiter bulb. Do a search for "Hoen" and "PIAA". You'll get plenty of hits.

Thanks, just did some research...
Hoen is maybe the best to go with (since lots of ppl are not happy with PIAA's) ...if anybody reads this post and is interested, here's their website http://www.hoen-usa.com/
I just emailed them asking a few questions. Will see how it goes.

They're called fog lights

Just get a matching Xenon replacement bulb for your halogen bulb, in the 5000K color range, and do a straight swap. That's what I did and it's pretty much indistinguishable from the HID's. You'll save the price and hassle of changing the fogs over to HID's and will still get the look you want.

This is an example of what I'm talking about, but there are lots of different brands and qualities to choose from if you look around.
