Detailed S550 w/S65 upgrades

Washed and waxed last weekend, photos came out amazing.
New 20" wheels coming soon!

Just got 6000K xenon fogs and 6000k matching D1S bulbs for the headlights. Also did the license LED and side marker LEDs all parts from SONIC Tuning.

Nice upgrades! Hows the 6k bulb looking? Did you do the license led upgrade yourself? I can't find a way into it.

Thanks for all the comments.

6K bulbs look perfect, the stock 4,300K bulbs are too white/halogen looking.

I did the LED license replacement myself. You need to be very careful and go in from the inside. The trunk lining needs to come out and you need to push out all of the plastic lock tabs from the inside for the outer piece which covers the light assembly. I think I found a DIY on this from a CLS and followed it. it was pretty close but the outer piec on the S is very different. take your time. took me 45 minutes to remove, install LED and re-install the trunk liner.

I stared a thread couple of moths ago with answers to lots of your S65 conversion questions. Check it out:

Happy modding!

45mins, being careful, none of which I can do. Thanks for the info though I'll have to take a look back there and give it a shot.

Beautiful. But I'm a bit biased since I have my s550 is the same color.

First thought that came to mind was get rid of those wheels, second line of text read was wheels coming soon. Looks like you got this handled. Very nice looking ride.
