The Xenesis bulbs you can get from www.bimmian.com They have alot of add-ons as well as Solaris Bulbs (show silver, light orange for the directional lights).
I think I paid about $30 at the show - supposidly a show price. It was one of those things that I wanted them - task done.
Don't know if I installed them as others would, but I pulled off the little corner cover on the underbody, just underneath the fog lamp. They are kind of a pain to work out. There are about four screws to remove from the wheel well and then two quick clamp screws from the underside. I worked the cover out of the way in order to get my hand up in there. 1/4 twist and the bulb comes out and can hand down for changeover.
Not sure if that is a short cut, but got it done.

about the Hamann quad exhaust:
The guy at Wheel Power(exclusive distributor of Hamann) told me that it had to be modified for the USA version vehicles. Because there are things that US cars have that blocks the way of the pipings.? But there's a dual version(one sided) and it fits right in with no modification at around $1600. You can call Tim at Wheel Power for more info 714-375-9666. Tell him Leo reffered you.

I was looking for you to see if you had the same noticeable harmonics as I do (545 - 6 speed manual) - Maybe somewhere down the road.
