Spent the weekend modding

What a weekend, im exhausted!

I got a chance to do the following:

Black out grills - Painted them myself with semi flat black
DRL Disable - Used resistors
Factory angel eye wiring disable - Used resistors
Custom wiring harness for AngeliBright LED Angel eyes - they come on with Ignition power now so they have the same look as all the new BMW's.
LightWerkz Digital HID 55w 3000K Fog light kit installed & Custom Harness - Allows me to have full independent control over the fog lights
Hardwired Passport Radar Detector and Garmin Nuvi Portable Navi
Installed Sirius Sat Radio

Afterwards I washed up the car and took some pics for your pleasure.

Enjoy!

My question is why did you use resistors to turn off the DRLs rather than just have them turned off through car and key settings?

But she is looking beautiful!

I was already working on the lights, so it was just an extra step. Saves time going to a dealership. I dont trust many of them in this area, I try to avoid them if at all possible. Not a big deal, I placed them in pretty good spots so they are well hidden.

One of these days I might end up with those tail lights... they keep looking better and better to me.
