From this...

I just put the BMS LED angel eyes conversion in my 1. Yup, the pics are weak, but the effect in person is excellent. A huge improvement for not a huge amount of money.

They set me back $129. The installation wasn't too bad: we had to remove the wheels and wheel arch liners to gain access to the bulb sockets. We going to do a special: $175 installed.

Of course BMW WOULD make it that hard to get to all that crap. I take it that this will work fine with the adaptive headlights?

Nice price installed. Nice to have a shop and lift. Im sure in the drive-way with a few jack stands and having to take the wheels off and the liners back could be a DIY PITA. lol...

No way... Why? To change angel eyes bulbs you need to remove headlight cap and you will access bulb easily...

a) get a new tech, he doesn't know what he's doing
b) give him a lie-detector test

I installed mine in under 10 minutes. Just pop the hood and remove the headlight caps. There are instructions on the BMS website.
