Anyone beside me had done or thinking of doing this?

Thinking tapping this into the signaling lights... seems like an easy thing to install...

pass, if you want that look, go with the OSS/Orion V2 AE LED upgrade...why try to make your BMW look like an Audi?

The Orion AE's are 100x better than those Audi style LED's

I do like them on Audis, Porshes, and even new Mercedeses. But on e60, not so nice.. I think it looks over accessorized. Nowadays you see these LED's even on Fords. Why put them on good looking car. Angel eyes is what makes BMW stand out, not these LEDs.. Just my opinion

Hum...

I am already planning to do AE upgrade as well as 6000K HID upgrade to both Headlight and Fog later on...

I guess this is a left over... hobby... obsession? from living in Oregon wildness in the past,

I want more lights~
HAHA....?Xmas.. that's a good one...

If you are going to do that, then you might as well slap on some M5 badges too, as your car isn't one of them either!
