    Thanks :)

    The LED Strips I had used are from E-Bay. This is the Link:

    I'm not affilated to the Seller, pretty much if you google search under LED strips will show many companies with this item. Make sure the LED strip are made in Japan, I've found out the Japan made are brighter and last longer IMHO.

    It looks good, but not my taste, but if you like it, then it's great! :)

    You can use it during daytime, just turn on the Parking light.

    The installation is very simple by connecting 2 wires to Sidemarker light plug :)

    I installed LED C5W's on my E55 (no error) - and they were too blue - this is the case with all current LED's unfortunately...

    Didn't match the xenon's at all

    LED's are avaialble in Xenon Blue or Xenon White, make sure you get the Xenon White color or else will be too Blueto match your E55 HID's

    I purchased the white LED's - but it was still too blue (imo) to match

    The E55 xenon's after they heat up, are very white - the white LED's are still just too blue - i would have to upgrade to a 6000k xenon... not my thing, i prefer the stock xenon color

    I went with a Polarg incandescent white bulb - could be a bit brighter, but otherwise it matches the xenons and upgraded fogs and makes the front end look very in sync (headlights, fog lights, city lights)
