So I started with the basic mod's which improve daily funcanality of the vehicle and also make it my own. I figured I start with:

Motorcepts License Plate Lamps.
Motorcepts HID Angel Eyes 6000K.
Motorcepts HID Conversion Kits 6000K.
Motorcepts Ultimate LED interior kit.

I like to thank John from Motorcepts for making me waste my money on all the awesome L.E.D/HID product he sells ! I paid Thursday, and received all my items Saturday! Packages were clearly labeled and packed very professionally. Fitment of all items were spot on, and what i hoped for! HID fogs took me about 40 min's, the hardest part was putting the plastic liner back on . Ultimate LEDS were very simply 15-mins, everything clipped perfectly without any issue (if your nervous of yanking/pulling things in your bmw, this might be hard for you!) I didn't damage any clips so im happy! Okay, Okay Enough of me sucking up for future purchases from john lol on to the pics ...

Only Thing left is the H.I.D AE's I will tackle them this Sunday, since i want to hide wires much as possibile and can't spare the time on weekdays . I didn't take before pics since we all know what our cars look like.

It's white man. It's how light is captured in pictures so it's not always reflective.

They are white, more like a xeon white. The photo's make them look simi blueish which is not the case in person.

After 3 hours, I managed to install my HID Angel eyes LOVE the way the car looks now! The installation was pretty straight forward, the tutorial was semi helpful, but it did need an detail explanation of how the HID kit gets connected to the code eliminator and relay system. Lucky we figured that out pretty quick, and mounted everything where nothing would be seen during oil change's (Bmw dealer). The only part which consisted almost 2 hours was installing the headlights back on the car It felt like forever to get them to line up perfectly without gaps!. No error codes as of tonight, was hoping to get day time photo's but only managed night shots till tomorrow. I think I might now have to purchase some 6K replacement hid bulbs, since i really didnt enjoy the 4300K.


HID fogs & HID angel eyes on only:
