Traffic-stopping looks and fade-free stops, every time.

Trying to assemble a complete LED lighting kit for your interior, one bulb at a time, can be a frustrating experience. Bulbs sourced from different manufacturers commonly vary in brightness, and commonly have different color values. Some won't fit the bulb holders when you get them; others trigger false bulb-out alerts on the dash. That's why interior lighting kits from Ziza are custom assembled for your make and model, then tested repeatedly with hand-picked LED arrays to assure uniform appearance. Each kit has its detailed photo tutorial to make light work of your installation.

The VANOS system in the S54 inline-six engine is a finely-tuned variable valve timing adjuster, relying on high pressure oil to function effectively. This high pressure oil is filtered to remove impurities in the oil, which may otherwise damage the expensive unit, turning it into an expensive paperweight. A clogged filter results in oil starvation: a no-no for VANOS. Servicing the VANOS filter at regular 30k mile intervals will help ensure this does not come to pass. ECS Tuning offers several VANOS filter service kits to address not only the filter service, but oil leaks as well.

Our aluminum wheel hanger makes it easy to remove and install wheels. Just thread the hanger stud into a wheel bolt hole and hang the wheel safely while you rotate tires or remove them for service or vehicle repair. It's also great for keeping wheel bolt holes aligned on cars with spacers. Our improved hanger is made of 6061 aluminum, anodized for hardness and good looks. The knurled, non-slip handle has a drilled hole so you can hang it on a pegboard hook in your garage. Better still, order two: one for your garage and another for the emergency tool kit in your trunk.

Schwaben Go-Through Screwdrivers might at a glance appear to be functionally identical to those contained in other sets - upon further inspection, it becomes obvious that these tools are built to an exceedingly high build standard, and are uniquely designed for extreme durability. The Go-Through design means the metal driver shaft extends in through the handle of the tool, instead of dead-ending at the grip. This gives the driver a better weight, feel, and increases the effectiveness and durability of the tool.
