I have m-package, shadow line, how come i didnt get puddle lights? maybe cuz im in california and instead of puddles we get pot holes?

they are standard in the canadian 135, but not the US, just like we get standard heated seats and heated wiper glass.

what are the extra cables that are needed... and what would the dealer charge to program them?

The LEDs and covers are easy to install because the cables are already mounted in the doors.
Sadly, there are no cables from the doors to the lightunit. Your favorite BMW mechanic will help you with that problem.
After that you need to get your lightunit reprogrammed with the codes that activates the LEDs.
With all this done you should be proud owner of a 1-series with retrofitted doorhandle LEDs. I am very happy with the result but for most people this would be a very expensive modification. My local BMW dealer said that this installation would probably cost me 1000 euros(!). Lucky for me I have inside connections

Can you provide the part # and the wiring kit part # it requires? I think getting it program at the dealer would be fine, money talks.. :-)

Pic and Detail would be appericated.

I think they are great. Not only are they usefull for seeing where you tread, they do give the car a welcoming ora and more importantly they looks brilliant. Especially on white cars at night
