My Ride: Alpine White 2006 530Xi (SLD)
So my "Phoenix" is rising from the ashes gloriously with a brand new clutch, flywheel and starter. She is purring like a kitty now and shift action is awesome with the CDV-delete. More on that in the official "Rising From The Ashes" thread (coming soon), but in the meantime I've taken a few iPhone shots of the headlights with the newly-installed Orions.
BIG RESPECT TO DKNEWYORK for coming through on the headlights in time and doing an awesome job. I didn't want to do anything that may look bootleg, so Dan and Ken installed and wired the Orions and erased the orange corners with v. 2.0 euro overlays (courtesy of AKAlius - thanks for the speedy shipping, Phi!
). I decided against white eyebrow and clear lens. Clear lens, in retrospect, may be a must btw, when doing Orions - otherwise the Orions look brighter than the low beam xenons lol
I'm waiting for a nice day to wash the car and do a proper photoshoot, so I can post a full thread with the entire write-up (not to mention, I have to give it up to Martin of MNC in Lynbrook for the awesome job diagnosing and fixing the car). Also, the heads are throwing "active headlamp malfunction" code - which is probably minor, so I've gotta sort that out too. But for now, here are a few "dirty shots":

Looking good. Glad you choose to stick it out with your car. Can't wait to see it clean with those shining.
