** IMPORTANT: For the safety of you, your passengers, civilians and other drivers, DO NOT skimp on brightness or cost for turn signals. They need to be visible and bright during the day. I paid $55 for the front and $50 for the rear. Red/Amber are legal. White is usually not allowed. Check with your state laws. **

Cathode Trunk Light Kit can fit on pretty much any car such as Toyota, Lexus, Honda, Acura, Nissan and many more. It’s simply PLUG & PLAY! No cutting of splicing factory wires. Only thinking on your part is how you want to mount them. I did all the hard part for you by purchasing the parts, modifying them and putting it all together. You can BUY them @ http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3144992/4.

I would most definitely recommend these to anyone. The only thing that sucks about these lights is mounting them. Its nearly impossible to mount these lights with the screws they give you…..exactly why i used velcro. www.glowshift.com.

A concept study of a four-door Gran Turismo for the luxury market, BMW displayed their Concept CS which is a new direction for BMW design while still maintaining classic trademarks.

The Concept CS has an elongated body measuring 200.8 inches or 5.1 meters with long flowing contour lines and flaring towards the back to accentuate the length of the body. The signature BMW kidney grille is prominently positioned to provide a good supply of cooling air to the engine.

The low slung headlights use unique LED reverse-projection lights that focus their beam on a reflective surface to illuminate the road evenly.

The interior is designed with layered surfaces such as circular dials for easily understood information and clearly defined joints that improve air ventilation and interior lighting.

The driver oriented cockpit was ergonomically designed for superior comfort and driving control.
