Default Damn mod bug keeps biting!

For the past year I have had my ride I have been happy with the Lux H8 V3 AE lights and figure I would not go the way of the Orion V4's (I didn't want to cut open the lights). However that damn mod bug keeps on bitting me. It didn't help that Umnitza had the V4's in stock, I was wanting to change the look of my ride a little, and the biggest thing was The Wizard, aka Simon, was in town with some time to spare. So I pulled the trigger on some lighting mods last week and Simon worked his magic. He installed the V4's, painted the projector housing red, did a cornering light clear lens swap, and blacked out the entire light housing. Also after seeing his modded instrument cluster lights I figured why not do that too.
Simon, Thanks again for an awesome job.

The V4's are $350. Link: Predator Orion V4 LED Angel Eyes for E92/E60 [umnovv49x6x] - $349.99 : Umnitza|BMW Angel Eyes|LED Angel Eyes|Headlights|Lighting|Performance|Service|87748 66489.

I bought them planning on installing them myself but chickened out and decided to get someone much more experienced to put them in. I think it was the right choice. They look awesome day or night. Went with the black-out option too. (I need to take some pics)

It worked out great as Booyaazaa's daily commute actually passes through the location where I did the work at.

I totally wish I had taken pics of the before and after! In any case, everything worked out great, and always love installing the v4s and seeing people really appreciate them bright angel eyes!

Sure that's fine. If you want I can take some better pictures tomorrow after a wash and with a better camera.
