Some pics of the puddle lights taken w/ my cell phone. Lights are tied to the rear dome light so they come on accordingly (remote unlock, open doors)

Whoa- gotta say I'm surprised by the responses. Seems like last time you posted it everybody loved it. I'm a huge fan. It's different and I'm sure it turns heads.
Only thing I'm not sure are the puddle lights, however it helps that they are made by Brabus - I gotta respect anything that comes out of that factory.

Nice work

Those lights remind me a tad too much of hip hop blasting, bass-turned-all-the-way-up dip****s who drive civics with fart can mufflers. Other than that it looks pretty good.

I think it looks good.

Personally I'd ditch the ground affect lights, sticker on the rear window and put the star back on.

Put a blower on it! Looks are great but go is better!

lol it's fast enough. 292whp. The lights come on only when you open your doors, it's not like I roll like a beaner w/ them on.

And the car is sticker free right now.

lol old people are harsh.

Well, I'm almost old enough to know better (30) and I drive an old man's Benz (300SD) but I think it looks great! William Westfall shot a pic of my Datsun 240Z at a GTG in Phoenix last year, he's a great photog.

I actually do blast hip hop from my MB, do I need some of those puddle lights to go with it (j/k)... always fun to let the 10" subwoofers out to play!

E55 looking good, I am jealous!

It looks great, but I agree that it needs the chrome stars back. *shrug*
