I got back home from being gone for a few weeks last night, so today I decide two tackle a couple of small upgrades that I've been planning on doing for a while.
First, I replaced the stock, incandescent halo/angel eye bulbs with a pair of high output cree LED bulbs.
The install was extremely simple and straightforward, thanks to the step by step guide located here:

I didn't even have to use a dremel, as stated in the guide. Just a little bit of wiggling back and forth and some pressure, and the stock bulbs popped right out. I also did not find it necessary to file down the contact point.
The results speak for themselves. Night and day difference compared to the stock bulbs. Highly recommend this easy mod to anyone dissatisfied with the stock ones.
Next mod I completed was switching out the stock ///M badges with a set of black/grey ones that I purchased here:

The badges I received were very high quality. The matte finish is nice a nice touch, and the stripes are not simply decals, they are actually painted, and then covered with a hard clear coat, so they will likely stay in good condition for a long time to come. No more replacing decals when they start to come off or fade.
