Pre LCI - LCI Conversion - What's required?

Hi guys,

My cousin has recently bought a 10 plate X5 which appears to be a late PRE-LCI model.

It comes with the newer iDrive but I was wondering what is required for the following...

- Square Exhausts
Is there something off the shelf he can buy in regards to a kit...if so how much is this roughly?

-White Angel Eyes
I'm sure they are easy to buy, eBay maybe?

Rear LED Tail Lights
Are these easy to change and would they need to be coded or anything?

Any help would be most appreciated!

Exhausts....OEM Kit is about £400 fitted.  Needs some painting and cutting of the rear bumper.

Angel eyes....nothing on the market comes close to OEM brightness.  The 'best' LED kits are several hundred quid!  Easier to change on HID equipped cars than on non-HID as the source lamp is different.  HID units use H8 angel eyes sources.

LED rear lights are again an OEM kit to update the light cluster and you either code if using those or need resistors if using non-OEM after market LED bulbs.
