Had the beemer lights on mine and didn't like them so took them off. They are for sale with freshly painted gloss black grille.

Jay that looks awesome! Did you use Capri backing plates etc as well. Any issues with wiring/connectors?

(Speaking of which...How good are you with car wiring and looms?)
