So, I finally got my car back today...(yay) and decided to install the RD LED kit I got from kmarei.
After about an hour of fighting vainly with the passenger headlamp assembly cover, I gave up and fired the car up.
Excuse the language about to spew forth from my mouth, but i was not expecting a fucking bulb out code. I spend an hour and a goddamned half fighting with the insanity that is BMWs "user replaceable parts" vainly and then have a fucking bulb out. awesome.
just thought I'd share. thank you, BMW, for making life easy.
