Well I have owned my 530D M Sport E60 for about a month now, was never really happy with the yellowish angel eyes, so changed them to LED today match nicely now with the oem bi xenons.

Personalised numberplate added, matt black grills added and going in for a light window tint tommorow.

Still unsure on alloys

DMS remap to come and full a full detail still required

A few pics:

Old grills:



New grills:



Comparison of old & new angeleyes (Old right hand side, new left)



New LED bulb for angels



With Bi-Xenon on showing good colour match



As title suggests, these were cheap easy mods carried out with the help from the DIY guides on here

Lee.

Bought the angeleye bulbs from here: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220402914211
Pretty straight forward changing them, 5 bolts to remove headlight and then remove original bulb and replace with new LED bulb, all in about 10 mins per side

Very nice, you just convinced me to get the angel eyes upgrade. Especially if you said it was that easy to change them.
