at 130k it's probably a good time to swap it out - did mine around 80k, the response is quicker (maybe it's a placebo)

Haven't had time to install either yet, probably this weekend.
I like the fact that the lifetime lights have reflectors around the diode. They are getting good reviews around the net as well. We'll see.
Look for an update from me after I attempt the install.

I got a set that you linked from Amazon. However, while reading up on LED headlights, I came across this setup from lifetimeledlights.com, which I bought as well.

I plan to do a full write up on these soon with comparison pics to my e320. Overall, my review of these are positive.
However, I believe that our projector lenses are hindering throw.
The color is excellent. The brightness is excellent. The cutoff is good. The throw is OK at best.
Give me some time to put it together. I've got a lot of household projects going on now.

NGK 3588 ILFR6A Iridium/Platinum Spark Plug [factory plugs]
http://www.ngk.com/product.aspx?zpid=9806
While they will fit, the plugs you are referencing in your purchase list are NOT the factory plugs:
NGK 6619 LFR6AIX-11 Single Iridium Spark Plug
http://www.ngk.com/product.aspx?zpid=9871
The difference between the 2 plugs:
- ILFR6A (factory plug; iridium center electrode, platinum ground electrode; 0.032" gap; long life--around 80-100k miles)
- LFR6AIX-11 (iridium center electrode, nickel ground electrode--these will last maybe 24-30k miles; 0.044" gap)
You might want to correct this on your list. Great parts list overall--keep up the work!

1. Add the acid
2. Wait one hour
3. Charge it for another 10 hours (refer to instructions)
I dont have a charger, and this stupid a$$ battery didn't come with instructions. Anyone know what to do here?????????????
Many thanks.

I just wanted to add that the Wix 46799 air filter does not fit in the air box of my 2004 E55. The filter is approximately one quarter of an inch deeper than the factory air filter and will not let the box seal properly.

CAREFUL with these batteries that you have fill.. i did mine just as it said to do and couple of weeks later i had airmatic red death light come up... NO idea why after spending money on pumps and all kinds of none sense stuff turns out the battery had leaked acid right on the friken airmatic line and melted it 
what was a cheap fix costed me alot more... i ended up selling the used pump back etc and got most my money back but just careful when filling these.

Has anyone tried this yet? Seeing as how the Bosch coil packs are $58 a piece right now, these are quite a bit cheaper. The seller is the same vendor that is selling the engine and transmission mounts for $100/set. I don't need coils yet, but since I'm going to change plugs soon, might as well do coils and wires while I'm in there.
