Thank you much Nerweezy! that link was really helpful, i just can't see the screws he took out on the posterior part of the headlight assembly( but I'll find a way to take it out), so how many bulbs do i have to replace 1. LED for the halos 2. park light 3. fog lamps....i noticed that the LED for the "eye brows" are not working, what could be the problem? or the 545i 04 doesnt' have that feature...but i can see small LED white bulbs in there. BTW i love ChocNUt too!

Park Light: which park light do you mean?
Fog lamps: members recc hoen bulbs for cost and looks: http://www.hoen-usa.com/fog.htm)
The eyebrows: Some years had a software issue causing the eyebrows not to work> All you need is to get a software upgrade from your dealer..

i'm planning to replace the halo(LED) to white, i just want the rest of the lights to match, so i have to bring my car back to the dealership so they can check on the eyebrows.

Correct you have to bring your car to the dealer ship to fix the eyebrow issue. Some early models had a bug in the system, so it has to be fixed thru programing. I am assuming your car is not under warranty, so they may charge you.
