Great look! Angel eyes look cooL!!!

By the way!!! That is the way to do a skid plate! You color code it to the color of the car! I disagree with the whole idea of keeping it Titanium silver......That would look ridiculous on any color other thatn Titanium silver.........Think about it...would you paint a 4.6 kit for the front titanium.....NO!! Same idea...color code.......

Sorry mrbmwx5...that I hijacked to vent on this topic but I have seen quite a few that say if you do a skid plate it has to be titanium silver!!!

...........oh yeah.....let the mods begin!LOL!

Pricing out tires right now - unfortunately the Toyo Proxes STII are not available in many sizes yet, so I guess I will have to get the ST's for now.
Consider the Vredesteins?

Also - did the CFO agree to the new tires as well? LOL. I guess that detail wasn't discussed?

AEs were from jlevi - I opened up the stock headlights and added them and removed the waffle lenses.

Added HID kit to the fogs - got those from EAS (European Auto Source).

AEs are wired in to where they come on with the parking lights or the interior lights (kit should tell you how to do this), so to get just fogs and AEs, I turn on the parking (amber) lights and the fogs and the AEs are on.

Nice.. did you disable the DRLs? Or when you go to parking lights (second on light switch) the DRLs turn off?

Also, Vince - you have post-facelift so your setup may need to be different. Us pre-facelift people play with our headlight assembly alot more (so it seems) and so we have more options i believe.. or we have more options so we play with our lights alot more LOL.

vincenzo! if you want brighter AE,you will need one of this set



(Click for a larger image) Turns Angel Eyes from Yellow to White to Match the Color of HID Lights. An absolute must for the fashion conscious BMW enthusiast. This simple replacement bulb and socket assembly replaces the stock unit to give the vehicle's headlamp ring a clean, white 6500 Kelvin brilliance. The super L.E.D. bulb in this assembly upgrades the color from a typical incandescent yellow, to a color typical to H.I.D. bulbs, matching the factory H.I.D. headlamps.


Before & after on an E39 5 series:

Part Number Description Price Qty. 19431 Piaa Angel Eye Bulb Upgrade - Sold As A Pair
$184.95
