Very nice
I've wanted to fully HID our E53 for a while now. What kits did you end up using? Where did you mount all the extra ballasts? Any issues with the lighting warnings going off? Do the main beam lamps take a ehile to warm up and what's the lifespan likely to be as HIDs don't like being rapidly cycled - or didn't used to - and it shortens their life by up to 60%.
I'm assuming D2R bulbs for the main beam and D2S in the dip and fog as they both use projector type lamps, or do you need a different bulb in the fogs because of space issues?
Tell you what, how about a 'How To' to save all the questions from me and others? Not sure I'd use 6,000K as I prefer the whiter end of the spectrum than the blue. But that's just the actual lamps, and personal preferences. The wiring and mods to light units are the key bits to know.......
