Upgraded front lights...
Polished the lenses, removed the stock 4300k D2R HID bulbs and installed 6000k D2R's. Removed the stock H6W city bulbs and installed canbus-proof super bright LEDs. Gone is the yellow haze in daylight (see pic) and at night there's this white-blue tone. Next mod will be an avantgarde-grille or should I leave the euro 'classic/elegance' grille in?!

I used car wax and a little brasso liquid metal polish mixed in. The brasso liquid acts like a cutting agent (abrasive), and the wax is like a lubricant so don't use a lot of brasso. Mind though that my headlights are OEM Xenon (HID). They have a clear outside lens, with an inside lens that disperses the light. I don't think you can get H7 lenses this clear...

Another questions is my two inner lights, can I just swap the bulbs like you did?
Finally would you post a picture of your lights turned on at night?
Thanks!
OP: your car looks great! now help me find a euro number plate bracket in silver
