A fine car is like a well dressed man (or woman)... first you have to be clean and manicured (detailed). Then you need a good suit (bodywork) that matches the proportions of your frame and flatters it (that's why there is so much debate about Bangle's work). Next you need a good pair of shoes (tires) with a good shine (body matched paint or chrome). Ahhh, now you feel really good until you see someone with some really cool glasses (angel eyes)... we've tried many knock-off glasses that don't fit right, were poorly made, the wrong shape or don't come in our size. Once we find an affordable and perfect set we will move on to other accessories.

I know it can seem confusing to understand the fascination with any mods; I personally dont get all the performance mods when The speed limit is 55, or whatever it is nowadays in the US... But if this comparison doesnt make it an open and shut case, then I dont know how else to explain....Having one of the very few US Spec X5's in the UK, let alone Europe, it gets really frustrating looking at what many people here take for granted...DOWN WITH AMBER!!!!

It seems to me what most folk want is clear lights and not the amber.

I agree with what everyone has said cause I'm a sit on the fence kinda girl.

However I reckon BMW design department will have spent many ££££ (well actually I need the Euro sign) and loads of time ( so it is a important subject) and somebody somewhere in their organisation looked at the X5 and thought you know what how much better would that motor look with clear corner lights/indicators and bingo us lucky Europeans got them and you know what they were right it does look smart.

So you guys looked saw and thought wow I want that and that is how the birth of many of a thread happens.

re the ricer thing it guys in their Saxo's or Corsa's trying to make them look BMW by fitting angel eyes.
