Will do , Ill take some daylight pics, so far about the lights 0 complains except when you come to idle they vibrate a bit, nothing not worth buying them for.

I will also put some 17'' Rims sometime soon and I fix the damn lower right grill that dropped somewhere

The lights rattle at idle eh? maybe your missing a part that fastens the light to the ballast. When my Angel eye lights were put in,there was a piece that was missing to keep the right Angel eye ball in place,the guy who put them in had to go to a junk yard and salvage the part,its firmly in place now,no more monkey bussiness. ^_^

yea i havent decided if i like the s5 lights yet on the b5's i mean when they are actually on a real s5 they are sexy and bright but they don't seem to be bright on the b5.. and i would want them to be bright not dull and like a back lighting.

and personaly i would recommend to not go smaller then 18' for wheels 17's i feel are too small and even when lowered they look kind of funny and small. just saying

It's due to the (cheap) construction of the lights, it is in their nature to vibrate at idle. Going over bumps they will actually shake, but it's not very noticeable to the driver. The cheap construction is what made me throw my S5-style headlights away... Waste of money IMO. Instead I went with Depo headlights and bixenon projectors, and did a custom LED setup in my aftermarket (prefacelift) fog grilles, and it looks 10X better than the S5-style headlights (again, IMO).

Car looks good though! Which muffler is that?

Good point I will check and see if there is a fitting, sounds logical tho so thank you for pointing it out
