My Ride: Alpine White 2006 530Xi (SLD)
...pissed. Why? Cuz I've just installed my new Racing Dash AE's, but guess what? No pics. Nope, none, nada, zip, null, empty, not even half of one, nothing, the black whole of pictures, the antimatter of all posts. This is just preposterous, but I have an excuse. Oh yes, I do. I have no clue how to make my camera take decent pics of the friggin' things - when I tried to take a picture, it just came out like a big blurrrrrrrrrr... sorry, am I slurrrrrrring my speach? 
anyway, any of you guys know how to set up the DSLR to take night pics of the headlights? Or is it just that I have to take the pics and then edit them in Photoshop or something? I don't know... I'm just happy cuz the AE's look really hot! Like, awesome hot. Like Pamela Anderson when she was on Tool Time hot. Like Kim Bassinger in the mid-1980's hot. You know, that classic good looks? Yep, that's my AEs.

lol turn your angel eyes on only no headlights. turn your camera to Aperture priority mode normally denoted by a big A on a dial. set the aperture to f/9 and take the picture. i'd suggest you use a tripod or put it on something solid. your pictures are blurry because u're moving.
