Thanks. I know I can count on you bros

Now if anyone feels daring enough, I have an extra pair of plastic PCB with white LEDs already mounted and tested.

I'm too timid. I'd probably fry the thing and be out big $$$. I don't think my SA would accept it as a warranty item.

there's a member on n54tech.com that's offering to do this white LED cluster change over for $80

http://www.n54tech.com/forums/showthread.p...ted=1#post80227

***I think some of those pics the OP took from here, from members that have done this mod here...he did make a slight disclaimer

he seems to have performed the mod on his e90...did not mention if he's done one on an e60 yet...but it might be worth pm if you want this mod but not very skilled with a soldering iron and LED's

That would be me. If anyone local is interested, let me know. I haven't done an e60, but its the same principal. Actually less led's than the e90 and not on the main control board. It won't be a problem.
