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

swapped out most of the old power steering fluid, and put new dextron 4 in.and emptied the oil catch can ,which is doing its job so far, just waiting for -30c weather for the test.
and figured out how to unlock the instrument cluster, which is super easy and its nice to see the actual temp of the engine and alt/batt volt. plus there is a few other things too.

It not only looks new, but I can actually see way better at night (sealed and guaranteed for 1 year).

Highly recommended for all you New Englanders!

That's a handy service!

Sure wish I could buy side marker gaskets separate from the markers. Is there a part number? Anyone? Bueller?

Nope. Cave and buy the marker. :). When I did mine I swapped side and rear bulbs to stealth. Looks clear when off and orange when on.

1.) Adjusted the sunroof drain hoses that were crimping and dripping water into the cabin

2.) Installed an Eisenmann Race exhaust :cool:

@ JB, which markers do you have on there now? My TYC smoked markers came with new gaskets, and the set was only $25. I know those LED sidemarkers don't always come with new gaskets which is why I ask.

@ Sammy, awesome looking "refreshed" lights my friend, enjoy the better visibility at night! Did he use Opti-Lens on those by any chance?

@ mikem5, lets see/hear that exhaust!

@ Prop, your photos are dead! I want to see your beast shined up :)
