Lightings: Joe at 'TrinityAutosport' hooked it up for me. His shop is in Tustin so I stopped by to get them all.

LED interior looks so much better and love it everytime I open the door in the dark.

Member 'socale39' recently got quads for his 545i and looks/sounds awesome. Perhaps reach out to him on his setup below:

Sick! Get a matte black 545i badge? And black/white roundels for the wheel caps! I know the blacked out roundels are not made for the rims . How were the lights tinted?
