That sounds smart, let's blind the guy that's driving to close so he can rear end me.

New to Forum...just bought a 545i Manual

I'd be interested. What HID bulb type are you using?
Would they be aimed down like a low beam?
Any legality issues? I would think t would be ok, since it's no different than pulling out forward with HID headlights.

I would really LOVE this for my Land Rover.
Was wanting to do something similar for offroad visibility in reverse.

rkhettry23 is also in NYC.

I guess there's enough interest that sparked the HID Reverse Lights. I'll do a DIY when I do Stevenbeboo's car or another person's car. $300 is installed. I managed to install it in Sunny's car in about 2.5 hours. Feeding the wires through from the rear It's not as hard as one may think.

As for the switch, why install it if you dont want the switch? I plan to sell at $220 shipped. $80 labor since it is pretty intensive. 5 people GB is $180. 10 people GB should be about $170. Parts for it isnt cheap. The HID bulb itself cost a lot more.

Installed price will stay at $300. I'll start a GB link by next week.

i just really want the hid reverse for safety because i got limo tint on my back window and the two rear doors. really hard to see anything when i back out, i always have to roll the two front windows to see anything. but if the on the fly switch is not that hard, then eff it, ill put that shit on too!

H3C bulb with Philips ballasts makes it light up a lot quicker. 3 seconds is full brightness. I am pretty sure this is not legal but most of our mods arent legal anyway. The HID bulb bulb angles slightly downwards so it also lights up the ground.

I may be interested in this, but I'll wait to see what the pics and instructions look like.
Right now, I'm looking at V3 Angel Eyes, White LED Eyebrows, and HID Fogs, along with various Dinan upgrades so I'll need to see where this mod will fit into the picture.

What year and model E60 do you have? Do u have factory xenons? V3 angel eyes? Go with MTEC V2. One of the brightest angel eyes.
