The lights will work on all 1 series to my knowledge. You do have to pull the bumper, front half of the fender liners, etc. to do the install. Not too bad but kind of a PITA.

When I was tinkering around I did see how much of a PITA the headlamp assemblies are to remove.

I have a German contact that I have previously ordered OE BMW parts from (most recently European bumpers for both my E92 and E61)--if there were a list of interested parties it is feasible that I could reach out to confirm pricing. I'm very much wanting to get a set for myself.

I could see maybe 7-10 sets fitting in one of the large boxes, although insurance will then be a real consideration at that point ($10-15k insurance policy protection likely necessary.)
