Hey guys, just got my first car, a 2007 550i. I'm not really sure what I want or what I should get to customize it a little. Popping the hood it looks like I have a pair of headlights with the model number 158 761-00 Li and from research that sounds like something from HELLA.

First thing I want to do is change out the Angel Eyes to be something more white-ish rather than the yellow it is now. But I'm not really sure what will work here.

So the HELLA lights don't change anything? Sounds good!

EDIT: If for some reason I decided I didn't want white for the Angel Eyes, what other options do I have? It seems that with the Mtec 2.1's I can only get white

Anyone have anything minor performance wise they think I could start out with?

You can get LED angle eyes with the colors Blue, Red, Green, Purple....Hella is the company BMW uses to make its lights. If you have a white/black/gray car blue/red angle eyes would look sick!

Rpi scoop. Rpi exhaust. ESS tune. are all for power. Suspenyion is also a big factor in performance because of how your car handles.

Are there any examples of the LED interior lighting? Because most of the threads with pictures I've seen around here are of Angel Eye and Headlight/Taillight replacements. My car is Titanium Silver so I'm just trying to figure out what would be a good color for the Angel Eyes

Orion v2s are the way to go cuz they can change colors! As for the LED interior look in the vendor classified section.

I'm kind of intimidated by the install process for the Orion V2s
