Not too shabby, I'm sure you'll be happy with the color!

Just throwing this out there but, has anyone ever tried opening up the led assembly and soldering whatever temperature led or bulb you want?

There are versions now which come with a bunch of LED's, CREE 25W LED etc, but the optics of the ring only allow for so much brightness no matter how bright the LED is. This is how I understand why we can't have the brightness of E70's on our E53's.

Ok, good to know. Thanks RB!
I personally don't like how extremely bright the led's are on some newer cars. Some of them are so freaking bright that it looks tacky, kind of like chrome haha
