You'll love em! Email Caesar @ Lightwerkz so he can send you the capacitor fix for the adaptive brake lights on 03-06 models.

Oh awesome. Thank you. I thought the flickering was due to the cold monitoring that needs to be programmed off. Apparently there is another flickering from the adaptive braking. I'll email him and get that sent out.

Got the new radiator/lower hose/aux fan sensor installed. No more leaks!

What did you do to / for your E53 today??

Installed my freshly resprayed 4.6is rear bumper.

Mother of god that was a hard job to do solo.

Original bumper had arch extensions but no lower spoiler. Had to move all the PDC and arch flares and reinforcement bar over to the new bumper, all was going well until I realised the previous owner had obviously been rear ended (and poorly repaired which is why I was getting the new bar painted in the first place). Reo was bent as was the bumper shock mount - which of course was part of the tow bar kit, which meant it was not available as a single item. And of course the bolts were welded on for some unknown reason so had to cut those off, go and find replacement bolts - take the entire interior out of the rear because the bolts passed through to the inside of the body......then had to put it all back together and try line up the bumper, by myself, with out scratching it or the car,

It took me 6 hours, and it was honestly a Christmas miracle that I didn't scratch anything, but it's on!

Now for the front lip....

It felt good to drive the X again after 2 weeks of using the "transportation appliance" Honda Accord.

I didn't notice the 2nd radiator was damaged until the OE rad was removed, left the X on jackstands until the 3rd "double boxed" unit came in.

Joshdub, a girlfriend that would buy her guy LED taillights is a keeper. As we say down south, you may have "outkicked [outpunted] your coverage."
