Xoutpost.com - What did you do to / for your E53 today??

Replaced all interior lights with LEDs and well as the fog lights. I like the clean look of the led fog lights with the xenon headlight.

Jealous that you got a set before they went unavailable from the manufacturer.

Haha! I didn't know they're no longer available! Yeah I'm glad I did. I prepared my succulent lights at a warm 250 for 15 min and voila! lol!

I also FINALLY began opening my spider headlights yesterday, which was A LOT easier than I thought (even with my recently broken wrist from snowboarding). I had them down in the basement since December and was just waiting for warmer weather to paint the chrome housing satin black. Can't wait for the final results! :woot:

:thumbup:
So what's the planned mod for them? Hopefully you will paint that chromed housing matt black.

I'm painting it green haha jk :p: I'm actually going to paint them satin black and not doing anything else to them right now. I don't have stock projectors so no swaps and I'm also keeping the ccfl rings for now. Just keeping it simple. I have to save my $ to fix my front suspension, I knew that I had to replace my tension struts and wishbones or control arms but after this winter its squeaking pretty bad. I already showered everything in oil but no luck.

Any chance you could take a pic of what it looks like when looking at rear traffic?

Here's some I took while on the expressway

I am upgrading my headlights by following Ricky Bobby's input. I opted for the HID fog lights. More expensive but much more light and easy to install.

x2 I recommend the Valeo projector housings from BMW for the fogs and an H3C Morimoto HID kit if you want the most light, no glare, and best lighting for the fogs there is.

My Hoen bulbs reference was for the factory H11 reflector fogs, I DO NOT condone putting HID in those. BC did his right and I'm looking forward to seeing his headlights completed :thumbup:
