Now I just need to decide if I want to do HID Fogs, due to the fogs on the X5 acting as the cornering lights on this car.

Agreed, pass in the HID AE's, seems to cumbersome. GL with your Fog decision C...

IMO, after sleeping on it, I say just go with the Hoen's....

Really? Ah man. This really sucks. I'm going to see what some of the X5World members say about HID Fogs on the E70 and the cornering light feature. We'll see...

As for the Angel Eyes, I'm probably going to try out the LED's instead. A bunch of members on X5World have done it. As long as it doesn't require tapping of the ECU like the HID's do, then I'm all for it.

I must say though, this truck is a lot more complicated than the E60. Really annoying.

Man, this is really making me want to upgrade to the LCI headlights. I was driving in front of Glock-357 and Darren_Dallas (from M5board) and their LCI angel eyes look awesome. Might just have to bite the bullet and do the full conversion.

SOMEONE STOP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
