ModS I have done this summer

I know its not much but am ok with these lil mods i have done so far:

_ LED lic. Plate (JleviSW | Your #1 Source for High-End BMW Modifications & BMW Enhancements - BMW Parts Online)
_ new headlights, LED angel eyes with projectors(european auto source - 714.369.8524 | how fast can we make your dream go, stop and corner?)
_ HID kit for headlights & fogs (www.ddmtuning.com)
_painted calipers red all around when i installed ceramic pads & permuim rotors all around
_Deleted the rear wiper as well

and today i replaced the antifreeze reservoir it had a crack all around and picked up 1 from the stealers for $84. and my lovely window regulator went out on me last night too when i was leaving school.. the minute i pulled out, the window behind me rolled all way down. freaked me out for a second thinking there was some 1 in the back and rolled the window . so ya i asked the stealers for a price on the window regulator & they wanted $175. but thanks to the search here and special thanks to mrbmwx5 for the copper wire trick he had on 1 of the posts here, saved me $175 and worked great . and also i wanna thank UCrewX5 on how to open the door panel . and also Weasel & m5james for there fast responds to my messages when i had problems with the HID nothing but great & helpful ppl on this site

enjoy the pic. before & after front end

Hello princemoe2,

I am very interested in your headlight mod. On eas I can see for your serial number:

Models Supported:
2000-2003 e53 X5 equipped with factory HID

But looking at your original pictures I believe you did not have Xenon in your car before .....
How did you manage this?

Very interested, Helmuth

Are these the ones?

Love your angel eyes. Is this the correct link?
eas - 714.369.8524 | AngeliBright - Angel iBright V3.0 for e53 X5

Thanks. It says headlights do NOT need to be removed. I have HID Xenon now but without angel eyes. Does this make a difference?

Nice work on the Headlights. Any chance you could post the HID kit link? I would hate to get the wrong one. How much additional work was the headlight mod besides the normal removal/install of the headlight. Did you need to re-aim,etc? I also have the non HID headlights and am looking for upgrade.
