Looks great

It's definitely a great and cheaper alternative to aftermarkets.

Glad you like the mod. This is such an easy mod I should off done it sooner. What motivated me was doing LED Tekarbon AG. The color temp matches Xeon headlights. BMW should have this as standard.

This is exactly what I've been looking for. I'm assuming this works just as well for the E85?

Yep, same thing. I love my conversion.

Ok, so just finished this. The clips were a pain to get off. I did the google translate afterwards, and I "removed them violently" opposed to not... Either way didnt matter. Figured it out soon enough.

However, does anyone with California plates notice the middle of the plate looks yellow? Seems to be based on how the light is thrown out of the lens. Looks good for the most part, but a little yellow in the middle of the plate close up.

Thanks for the post OP. This was a nice relatively easy mod.

I bought these ones off eBay a while ago:

They are not too bright, but do have a very cool white color.
