But how come those only work with Xenon, if I have Xenon I would be turning on the Xenon all the time so you can't really see the angel eyes.

I don't have Xenon now so I just have my angel eyes on while driving at night.
Cos it need two bulbs to run the AE on each side for the non Xenon instead of one bulbs for the Xenon!!

I am pissed off this morning as I got into my car, I found that the Autopass fell off the windscreen and hit my center console and put a ding in my nice aluminum!!!
So you put the Autotoll beside your rearview mirrors? Same here

Don't worry those can be change or passenger wouldn't notice the ding if you drive really fast

So you are saying get four than is okay? Seems like the Xenon and Halo are two different system using two different types of bulb for the AE?

thanks for the offer but the problem is if I can't handle a R6 or even a CB 400 SF for that matter how can I ride in a Ducati, plus I couldn't afford it anyways <_<

I like the Ducati too. I am thinking about the Aprillia RS125 two stroke, but they say two stroke are not good for beginners any ideas?
Yes, 2 strokes are not good for beginners as it is harder to control when it hits the power ban, but it also depends how heavy you weight. If you are feather light, then you will find it hard to control!

So is 150 lbs feather light?

Oh man... so does this mean you'll throw the M5 away? Which dumpster should I dig for the keys in?

hehe J/K
That sucks... sorry to hear... i would stick those things on the corner of the windshield and not on top...
Thanks for the tip!

Just checked with BMW and the center console in aluminum is $1800, takes 2 weeks. For AC Carbon is $18,000 for that piece!! For the whole interior it's around $28,000
