camera doctor 25 Report post Posted July 23, 2007 Hi to all, My name is Greg and I've just bought a 1996 E39 540i. New to this forum. I am a camera repairer, so if I can help any member with repairs to 35mm or Digital cameras, just PM me and I'll do my best for you! Car is standard at present, on the wishlist are Angel/Devil eyes, clear rear lights, Better headlight bulbs!, CPU upgrade, Tints etc etc........ will see how all that goes as far as $$$$ allows!

mtk540 3 Report post Posted July 24, 2007 Welcome fellow E39 540 owner. Have just read your thread re headlights. Mine are fuzzy as well but yours don't look too bad compared to mine! Will follow it with interest... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jochen 4 Report post Posted July 24, 2007 Welcome. And here's a good tip: if you hate your headlights being squirted all the time by the automatic headlight washer, remove the headlight washer fuse. that's what I did - much better :-) Another tip: if you don't like the reverse 'ding ding' that the Jap cars do, remove the cover panel above the pedals to reveal the gong, and unplug the connector that has a single wire on it (there's only one). Result: no more 'ding ding' in reverse, but every other gong and ding still works. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
