Gotcha. I guess I didn't see the relevance in the Sept build date for the facelift upgrade.

Facelifted's have different headlights and wiring harnesses..this isn't a cheap upgrade for such a minor difference in looks. You're better of finding the headlight threads on here that have angel eyes, projectors w/ HID and similar looking corners to the facelifted E53's for the $200-$500 range.

Mavoma,
M5james is right, make sure you do your due diligence first though. Heaps of info and threads on this much thrashed subject within these pages to research first with.

I'm not sure if you know ekvals , he is also a member from your neck of the woods. Just do a search of his name and see what he's done to his ride, beautiful job. He might also be able to give you a heads up on local suppliers, indy's etc. GL
