no IND sells and and other vendor here... there is a down side and upside to this mod. so check out the threads around here.. you will find one.

Stormtroooper · 06-09-2011, 02:16 PM

It is a cap you buy BUT the good news is that you can take the lock mechanism from the factory cap pop it out (2 tabs on the side) pull the tabs out and pull the lock mechanism out and it comes apart. Then i had to dremel the tabs on the new one since the lock won't go completely through the new cover and it sits back so the tabs won't lock onto the mechanism without sanding them down a bit to make them bigger so they will clip on.

Hope that helps.

Also put on the 24 LED license plate lights from JLeviSW and my AiB angel eyes. Pics coming up.

50/50 in the garage with the AiB angel eyes.

AiBs on both sides in the garage.

AiBs out in daylight.

50/50 with Stock(2 LED) and JLeviSW (24 LED) License plate lights.

JLeviSW 24 LED license plate lights on both.

congrats car looks great!

Exclusivs · 06-09-2011, 09:55 PM

Awesomely clean mods you've done there!!!

In your experience, have those been the brightest angel eyes you've seen done on the M's?

HeavyTireSmoke · 06-09-2011, 10:26 PM

I guess the mod bug got you the day you sat in the car

"brightest" headlights i've seen are the Alpine HIDs. But i don't like how saturated the inside ring is compared to the outside.

But on the AiBs it's evenly split between the rings.

Very nice, well done!

How are all these compared to the Lux 8? V3

Stormtroooper · 06-11-2011, 02:22 AM

I can't say, I haven't had the LUX V3 or know anyone with them around my area. So i don't really know the difference on those yet.

There are a lot of reviews out there comparing the LUX to the AIB's. the AIB's are priced higher and the LUX are about 30% brighter.

Stormtroooper · 06-15-2011, 05:28 AM

i will post a pic of the Lux and the AiB side by side when i get them. The LUX are not in stock right now, so it will have to wait...

AMPowerJ · 06-15-2011, 07:20 AM

Why do you have a US front bumper when you live in Europe? Seems like you shouldn't have needed the painted reflectors.
