How long did it take you to put in the 6000K Fog Lights? Cost?
John installed the HID fogs. It took him no more than 20 minutes. Cost was $145. A lot of bang for the buck.

Looks good! Bright, just like I them.

Those of us in the Nordic Countries need to put some money to work and get John over here to do some mad lighting mod installs on our cars.

John can bring his parts direct to Stockholm from EWR, and do the installs in the parking garage at Arlanda!
Thanks Patrick.

Look out John, you may have a Finland group buy on your hands.

U have to make sure what bulb u have. Do u hgave D1S or D2S? If you have a 2004, u have a higher change of having a D2S bulb. early 2005s may also have D2S. later 2005s and up usually has D1S and all LCIs have D1S. Freakin confusing BMW made it.

Then again, the eyebrow mod does look sooo nice. .
After the lighting, ur comestically upgrades really nicely. Unless you want a front splitter, those things are easy to sell, install, remove, etc. As for exhaust, it sounds great as it is. U could get an ECU remap but I dont think it really helps that much. So next is a nice looking splitter!

I don't think I will be doing a splitter. I want a good amount of clearance in front. I suppose if I could get a trunk spoiler that I could install and then later remove without damaging the paint (for lease return), I might think about it.

I have an ACS style trunk spoiler which I bought with the roof. Never installed but painted A.G. I even have double-sided tape put on. Then I changed my mind of having both spoilers (roof and trunk). PM me if you're interested.

Nice! Your car must look SICK in the dark now! Even sicker than before - with the black paint and all those lighting mods ... you should come to the Aug 16th meet and take some pics

You won't be able to get into your garage with a splitter... a trunk finisher, however...
