My Ride: 535d
Hi,
Has someone tried to install the neon kits under the E60 to obtain the -very nice I think- effect of illuminating in blue or red the pavement. The Kit costs 160EUR but I wonder if it is easy to install it finally and also, for the people living in either NL, Belgium or France, is it legal to have this?
Thanks in advance for the answers.

My Ride: Jet Black 545i
Haven't tried in fear of looking like RICE...
I think those neons belong on Hondas and Toyotas... not BMWs..

IMHO it should be illegal, or at least void all warrantees on a BMW.

I think that under-car neons look great - especially when driving with your fog lights on!!?
