Yesterday I spent a good portion of my morning at motorcepts getting my first set of mods installed, I feel proud to say, all were inspired by my fellow forum members. I'd like to give special thanks to nomis_nech AKA Simon. for designing and constructing my new modified lights also for having lots of patients with me helping me solve some of the problems that came up doing this modification. I'd also like to shoutout John@motorcepts AKA John and his entire staff for installing and coding all of my mods.

The Mods include:

-upgrading from pre lci halogens to prelci xenons
-modifying headlight with orion v2's, total blackout and eyebrow mod, d2s 6000k low beams
-installing white led side markers, front and back white turn signals
-black matte grill
-blackout bmw roundels/emblems (front,back and steering wheel)

Here are a few Before shots of the car and a video walkaround pre-mods

Next install new lights and leds ( meet John at work)

I actually am going up to the Bay the end of November. Not sure how I'll stay though.

Ronald, I am not exaggerating when I say it was a pleasure working with you. Welcome to the exclusive club. Also, not sure if my eyes are playing tricks on me, but looks like you refinished the headlights?
