AS a cop, I would suggest that you never show a photo with your license plate number showing. It's too easy for people to find out your address....Just a suggestion

Neil!

Awesome Brother!

I tried the LED Turn Signals and it pinged an error code...I tried the reverse lights also from Jlevisw and that also pinged an error code.

As for the High beams I received and installed the xenon match from Dave...mine are 9005's....DRL's are still on. Oh well!

You better get your ass to the Tri State Meet this spring. We have mucho mods to share in person..

I should be all dinan'd up by then also! That and my damn DRL's OFF!! LOL!

Rich

Where'd you get the LED turn signal bulbs from? Your ride looks awesome by the way. Are the LED turn signals just plug and play? I've been looking for those forever for my 01 X..

Hey Neil ... looks great!

It's exactly the look I'm looking for except the white turn signals. Not that I don't WANT white corners, I love it, but don't want to get hassled by cops.

Another thing, it looks like you've confirmed that us 04+ guys don't need to worry about blinding cars by simply upgrading to HID fogs. I figured that because I saw that there was an aiming adjustment on the non-projector fogs.

I can't confirm myself yet because I'm waiting on my anti-flicker/error code device for my HID upgrade.

Now that you have closer pics it looks like you DO have the H1s for the DRLs. Here's hoping DRLs go off after I get them in.

BTW ... your photo skills are just fine!

Do you hide your license plate when you drive around as well?......

One of the MAIN issues is being spotted with a nice car on the road, and having people following you to your residence.....

i hear ya , but like someeoone else said anyone can see them when i drive so whats the difference !

i get no error codes at all , and i use them in my reverse and rear blinkers aswell !!

no prob's w the cops i though it would be but one night after i got stuck behind a cop in the turnin lane and it was blinking in his rear view mirror and he was cool with it , also when im across from cops at like u turn lights they see it all the time and never hassell me (knocking on wood as i type)

i got all the led bulbs from jlevi !! front blinker , rear blinkers, and reverse !!
they are like only 24.99 a set !!

hid fogs are the shite !! no blinding at all because they are fogs , they point at the floor about 12-14 feet directly in front of the truck !!i dont know if you can tell but my 6k low beams and 6k fogs are a dead on balllz accurate match !! (very important to me)

So, Xenons were replaced with XenoFLo D2C bulbs (6K white) from www.bimmian.com? That's what I just may go with.
http://www.bimmian.com/HIU/X5

The LEDs gave errors for Rich ... Neil, did you have to install resistors? Or maybe you got a different set?
EDIT: Rich, looks like they sell resistors on the same page for ordering the LEDs. So, you probably need them.
