1) did you buy the Breyton package directly from their siet? if not where from? if yes i don't see the shopping page?

2) what website did you order PIAA from?

1.) Send mail to breyton and they will advice you the closest dealer at your location.

2.) PIAA, I just got it from car shop, they have most range of light from different brand, you just drive your car there and they will quote the price and install for you. It is in MK <Kolwoon area>

3.) Yes, during install process, the car have to be raise up. <Attached photo>

4.) will update later

Hello Bre Ced

I want to get your Philips bulb too for the main headlights. Just to be sure, those aren't xenon lights on your BMW but just normal headlights? How much in HK$ do the Philips bulbs costs?

I also think one day I'll change my engine and transmission chips, exhausts, wheels and add aeros, (u think AC Schnitzer is as good?) but maybe after warranty expires. I would hate to have done all that and have those bastards at the service centre tell me I've voided my car's warranty...hehe.

Nice Mercedes

Yes it is a xenon light, I only change the stock light bulb to Philips. It cost me HK1600 for the trade in.

The AC kit for the E60, it wasn't as nice as I expected <only saw it from mag>. Maybe seeing the real car would be better. I heard that there is already one full AC kit E60 <black color> on street now, i haven't seen it yet. I know a shop got the AC rear spoiler in stock, but it is very expensive.

Attached a before front spoiler photo

hi please correct me if i am wrong, i thought you cannot change the bulb of the factory xenon system, do you have original xenons or an upgrade from halogens?
the mod on the fog lights are incredible. i love the front spolier too. well done on such a sharp ride in HK. the folding mirros are wonderful, are they powered?
now many women have checked you out when you roll down the street in that?

bre ced,

to complete your already beautiful e60, the kidney should be changed to chrome like those in 545. I will be jealous to see one of these in my city.

What are the advantages of switching out the xenons, just looks? Does anyone know the temp of the stock xenons?

Here are some good prices on HIDs, below ebay prices I believe.
