...and the Modding continues.....!
 
This mod was a hard choice..because i'm so stuck on "theme" as many of you know. The last thing I want to do...is over due it to where mods start looking down right stupid/cheezy...(not tastfully done).....

So I pulled the trigger last week on the LED tails..... installed last night....pretty much plug and play...no errors.....good stuff. My thought was that these may be a little ricey! Especially because there was absolutely nothing wrong with the oem tails.. If you want to see pics for now go look at mrbmwx5 page he has these as well...so does Farai...

Well I installed them......they actually breath new life into the ass of the X5....A more vibrant red...the corner clear portion picks up where my CAE's headlights left off...same type of corner lense.

The shitty part is the passenger corner had a half inch chunk crack off on the bottem left corner. I am having a new one second day'd to me via ups....( i got right on that)........for a mod that I really did not have to do....I did....and i'm pretty stoked about it.

mrbmwx5 is now telling me all day "i told you so" :stickpoke

Congtats Rich.

The very first thing I did after I got my used-X was to replace All the exterior lights: headlights, taillights and even the indicators on the side (like this).

The head and tail lights are probably one of the very first thing that attract a people focus on (just like when you look at people's faces!). And the the aging plastic on the original lights does show up by becoming yellowish / greyish. These new taillights match your headlights, and they do spark up the X again.

Strongly recommend the side indicators to complete the look :thumbup:

Ricey? The new Audis, Porsche, Mercs have all gone LEDs.... so may be Ricey is the new life again :rofl:

mtX5 04-16-2009 12:58 AM

congrats rich! and it looks like essam is following with the LED tailights. Like you rich, i haven't really considered this mod i like the stock tailights.

so this mod is really worth it?? i'll wait for you and essam to post some pics so i can get an idea on a titanium X .. then i'll go from there.

for now i'm saving up for my exhaust tip mod :thumbup:

very nice rich, i dont think they look ricey at all.
On the other hand my aftermarket non-led tails looked horribly ricey. I ended up getting them tinted to downplay them a bit.
but anyways, the x looks sharp!
