So I had a chance to get my set of bulbs in (ordered before the others) and I have to say they're pretty awesome.

The rest of the bulbs should be arriving late this week, or early next week (naturally Christmas throws everything off).

Here's a few firsthand tips from my install experience.

1. Get the non-marring trim tool kit. You don't really need a full set to install these lights, but having at least one plastic tool will make installing most of the bulbs a breeze.

2. The rear dome/reading lights are a real b*#ch to get out. The ECS instructions make it sound like you're trying to get the light housing out from the metal ring, but I found it easier to bend the metal ring itself a bit and slide the whole thing out. Either way, you will want to go slow and take your time here...these housings are mostly plastic and will likely break if you try to force them too hard.

3. I think ECS has their bulb placement a bit mixed up, so I decided to make a few adjustments. You can probably go either way here, but I preferred like housings to all have the same style bulbs, and personally I think this layout just makes more sense.

1 SMD
- 2 Rear reading lights

5 SMD
- 1 Front dome light
- 2 Front reading lights
- 1 Glove box light
- 2 Rear footwell light (directly below seat)

9 SMD
- 4 Puddle lamps (bottom of doors)
- 2 Front footwell lights (under dash)
- 2 Rear trunk hatch

8 SMD (festoon)
- 2 Vanity lights (only place they'll fit)

Last but not least, here's a few teaser pics (sorry for the bad night shots).

Merry Christmas.

Not yet, but if there is enough interest I may help facilitate another group buy once this one is fully completed.

The next group buy could potentially include external LED lights as well...

Count me in for a set of interior lights, removal kit and how much for a set of license plate lights? Will this work on a 2011 x5M? I am new to bmw vehicles.

Thanks.
