Spent the weekend modding
 
What a weekend, im exhausted!

I got a chance to do the following:

Black out grills - Painted them myself with semi flat black
DRL Disable - Used resistors
Factory angel eye wiring disable - Used resistors
Custom wiring harness for AngeliBright LED Angel eyes - they come on with Ignition power now so they have the same look as all the new BMW's.
LightWerkz Digital HID 55w 3000K Fog light kit installed & Custom Harness - Allows me to have full independent control over the fog lights
Hardwired Passport Radar Detector and Garmin Nuvi Portable Navi
Installed Sirius Sat Radio

Afterwards I washed up the car and took some pics for your pleasure.

Enjoy!

Wow you dont play around................

My question is why did you use resistors to turn off the DRLs rather than just have them turned off through car and key settings?

But she is looking beautiful!

I was already working on the lights, so it was just an extra step. Saves time going to a dealership. I dont trust many of them in this area, I try to avoid them if at all possible. Not a big deal, I placed them in pretty good spots so they are well hidden.

Thats what they say. Its just the start :wow:

Unfortunately during the week I am very busy and don't have time to work on my own toys until the weekend comes around. I maximize my time out there :)

One of these days I might end up with those tail lights... they keep looking better and better to me. :D

Here are some pics of the LED tails at night, its hard to capture the true image, but you can get a feel.
