Im starting small, working my way up as cost and labour increases. I did the DDM xenon lights first. Very easy DIY, no hassle; although Im sad it didnt come with a trunk light replacement bulb, as its different from the rest. In true "318ti.org" fashion I took pictures at every step. And here they are: (but for some reason my reading lights up front still wont come on... so it wasn't the bulbs.

This time around on the bimmer I want to try out the LED bulbs. I like the output on them being a more softer glow. Would like to see some night pics of all of them.
