I was kind of wondring the same thing......I would like to replace mine with a white LED instead of the yellow standard buld it has. I wouldn't think it would be that hard. Just like any other light bulb change out.....

I recently changed some of the lights on the front of my car, found it was just much easier to take the whole headlight out rather than mess about on the back of it without being able to see what your actually doing.
Although having said that, taking it out is not easy feat either.

Taking these bulbs out is a pain. Taking out the whole headlight however is just way too much extra work. I also tried that...just take off the cover and squeeze the metal pin. Then twist the bulb a little...
I tried 3 LED bulds and non worked. So I tried the PIAA white bulbs. It's about all you can do. At least for my car...they don't like LEDs. Unless you can figure it out, it might be a pain

Im also a fan of Vossen wheels and do like the CV3's, i love them for the massive deep look on the rears, though i must admit im a little more partial to the CV1's myself. But unlike your good self i had timing issues aswell as cost issues at when i purchased these. Im more than happy with them though.

It's a classic look. Stays with the stock look, but more aggressive. You just need a truck spoiler like mine to finish the exterior. Love black when it's clean. Looks so f'ing sexy.

I cant see the spoiler you refer to, but the wheels do look very mighty on it in your album pics.
Im in 2 minds wether to send my calipers Red, and if i do im afraid i might be following your footsteps in making the engine cover red aswell.
I was searching for the right S55 for over a year believe it or not. Here in the UK theres only about 5-8 on sale at any one time in all the country. 95% of them are silver, and of the 4 (yes just FOUR) black ones that came up for sale in the whole time 2 of them had the grey leather interiors. I was very lucky to get this Black one with Black interior and pretty much every extra.
