also received the black ACS pedals but i think i am going to ask the collision center who is going to change my mirror to do the install on the pedals since it requires drilling and all that.

:innocent: i don't have a finished product yet..
i am still recovering from the cold and being on call did not leave any time to put in my X5. and the wing mirror mishap topped it off. i will get there with pics. mine will look similar to the pics posted above minus satnav player and Cd changer.

well. i tried to install the hids and leds last night but it seems like i am missing a plug and cable to connect the oe wiring harness for the dip beam to the 75w kit. and also the size of the ballast for 75w kit is huge compare to the OE one and there is no way that it would fit into that allocated place under the headlight assembly so i have to contact the seller and figure out a location in the engine bay for locating the ballasts.
as far as the led lights go the front indicators that depo lights came with are US spec 3147 dual filament bulbs so the one i ordered won't fit. i have to find my old headlight assemblies to get the old bulb holders for the indicators. i tried the led bulb in the rear and it looks great BUT i am afraid it will give me an error on obc. i will contact the seller on that one as well to see if i am doing something wrong. will keep you posted. in the mean time do not order from the links i provided for 75w kits and led bulbs for indicator till i figure the issue out.

since i am back i guess we continue at where we left off on the mods. i am ordering the LED tail lights finally and will be speaking to the collision center who installed my mirror for help for the black pedal install
to be continued... :)

On a black car, blacked out kidneys look great. On any other colour it can look just like two black holes from a distance, but i agree with your choice.

HIDs

Never got round to asking. I fitted a HID Kit at 35w. I think someone found a 50w kit. Where on earth did you find a 75W HID kit!!!

That must be MAD bright surely?
