There's three oddly shaped teeth around the bulbs and they should only fit in a particular way.

Yes they will still work, however they will not fade quite as smoothly.

There seems to be a huge difference in the amount of space around the cover on the 128i because there is no way I can slip my hand in without totally cutting it up. Seems easier on a 135i.

So I've tried this before...got the cover off just to find out I had the wrong bulbs! after wrestling my car for 45 minutes I could not for the life of me get the cover back on and seated onto the tabs on the bottom. Had to drive to my dealer and asked very nicely if they could put the cover back on. They asked why the cover was off and I tried to just change the topic of discussion! Haha. Anyways I now have the proper bulbs...had then for about 5 days...I have absolute ice cold feet about trying to do this again and I've watched and read all the DIYs and read every FAQ and success/horror story. Haha. Anyone just want to install for me? Haha. ok...I got big hands...what is the absolute most best advice for getting the cover off and back on again?

Considering these for my car and was just wondering about brightness and color temp. If any of you have seen the actual stock led angel eyes on the newer models, how do these compare? Could they pass for stock?

They won't pass as stock because stock is yellow while these are white.

I guess you'd have to attempt a full retrofit of the newer rings to get that look, which I really like. For some reason it just seems more high end to me, and plus you can see them coming from a mile away! |

My car just spent 2 weeks at the dealers after attempting this instal. Everything worked perfect for 24 hours, then I got an adaptive headlight failure warning. Then my Driver's side headlamp went completely out. When I took it in, the mod had corrupted 2 modules. I'm done with LUX.
