Okay, I am almost finished installing these but I can't get the passenger side cover back on. How the heck did you guys get the 2 bottom feet back in??? My hands are killing me but I still can't get it in!!

It was hard to do but then I realized there was some wire/cable hanging it up. Once I figured that out it only took another couple minutes.
Just so y'all know, my 135i has a textures front lens so that I cannot look into it to line up the holes or whatever y'all talk about. I did turn the bulb a little bit and the light output didn't change. I'll post pics later but they look just like what everyone else has posted |

Any news on getting LED's that match the upper eye brow ? Lux?
Edit found some info here: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=604500 Wonder how well these match the led eye brow on the 135i's and 1m.

So it looks like Lux can do a custom 5K upon request (to better match the eyebrow)? If so, that may be the straw that breaks my back and get me to order these puppies ;-o)

I also want the 5000k ones. The original is not matched with the eyebrow and the ugly old yellow rings. I really like the color of the eyebrow. I personally think the 6500K is to sharp and blue. But taste is like the buttocks, divided!

Just finished installing mine tonight. I personally like the fact the halos and the eyebrows don't match. Although I wish I could (cheaply) get rid of my orange side markers...
BTW who ever designed those light covers should be shot... What a waste of time reassembling the housing! |

Cross-referencing for those checking the archives in the future re "LUX H8 V3 Custom 5000k Color" (better matching the 1M eyebrow than the initial 6500k version):

I have installed the 5000K on my 1M. Its an amazing difference with the yellow OEM ones. And a really good match with the eyebrowes.
Lux when will you have more of the 5000K in stock? I want a pair for my X5 (E70)... |

Anybody try the Weisslicht being sold by, among others, bimmian? $150 and looks to be comparable, maybe easier to install, to the Lux. I think is color 6K
