    I would...I tried out some LEDs for the rear plate and it threw a bulb out code. I think the car uses a combo of 39mm and 41mm festoon bulbs.

    Send me what you know and what you've tried. I'll get your set up. ;-)

    I'm impressed such an old car has bulb out indicators. Got to love BMW.

    Front end work looks mint. Only thing I don't like is the Schnitzer badge added on the trunk. But, that's me being nit-picky.

    Got to working on the stereo install. Pulled the door panels rear seats center console all the speakers and the factory head unit. Sony iPod radio in and working with blue tooth mic in the little dash nipple on the HVAC controls. Rear speaker pods in tan looked kind of tired so I shot them in a cool textured black paint and the grills in gloss black, reshot the tweeter pods for the doors also black textured came out looking far better than the pics indicate. All RCAs run and speaker wires, rear speakers and crossovers installed fronts up next then the amp and basslink from Infinity. Ready for the leather console and door parts to arrive.

    Issue solved. Wasn't so bad when drilling one hole at a time, fitting the brace, rechecking the marks, and drilling. Looks classy and works amazingly.

    Worked all Saturday on getting my amp mounted in the trunk. Wanted to get it installed with no mods to the car and managed to pull it off without putting so much as a single screw into any part of the car. Amp rack is pressure fit on top of the jack cover quite securely and when closed the trunk hinge holds it in place in case it tries to move. Also got the Infinity Basslink mounted and hooked up stereo is sounding pretty good even wthout any tuning as of yet.



    Mocking it up with cardboard











    Test fitting the parts







    Putting it together
