I did this last week so just to add a few thoughts...
This actually kind of sucked. I dutifully ordered the new part #'s for the springs and nuts from ECS, but found they were exactly the same as those factory-installed on my 2010. Fail...
I tried using the 2.5 NM torque spec someone listed earlier for the nuts and it snapped one of the metal studs right off the new brake light! I had to remove one from the old broken light and put it in the new one to get it installed. Go not much more than snug on these and forget that torque spec...
Additionally, although I bought the genuine BMW part, it had an odd nodule-like raised portion at the join in the rubber gasket material around the periphery which I had to push inwards with the edge of credit card while tightening to allow it to seat properly and not look like ass...
All in all, not that pleasant an experience...
