Finally took some pix of the rear at night. I love the look. All I need are some LED Tails (Smoked of course), and the lighting will be set.
And here's a shot of the front just as a reminder. I love that both the front and the rear have a unique look to them, that stands apart from most E60's on the road.

Purchase 2 "39mm 9 LED Festoon" from autolumination.com, then go down to Radioshack and purchase a pack of 50 ohm 10 watt wirewound resistors. Loop the resistors around the terminals of the light socket, and then install the LED's into the socket.
elyk, since you're in Canada like me, we won't be able to buy the resistors at Radio Shack/The Source, they don't sell these exact resistors. So you will either have to find it online, or at a local electronic store. I'll be going to Vegas in 3 weeks, and plan on picking up a few packs of these resistors. So if any Canadians want to do this mod, but can't find the resistors or don't want to pay ridiculous $16 shipping and handling fees, please PM me your information and we can work something out.

I have them pointing straight down so that all the light comes through the clear case housing.
