I just installed mine last night. It's not hard just lack of space to work around in. You have to reach in to disconnect and connect the wiring harness with one hand. Took me about 10 mins each side. Probably could've done it in 5 if I had smaller hands hah.

Yea, everyone suggested to unclip the wire harness from the bulb first but I found it easier to remove the bulb first. So I removed the bulb and held the base of the bulb with one hand using my index finger (same hand) tip to unclip it.
There should be a '+' and '-' on the connector of the Weisslicht harness. The '+' connects to the black wire of the OEM harness. I found out the hard way hah. |

These all look good at night. The key is , how do they look during the day ? Most are almost invisible in sunlight.

I installed those in my M6 about a month ago. I liked them but they kept giving me a "light out" code on the dash display. I ended up taking them out because the warning and constant chime drove me nuts. They may have fixed that problem since then.

finished the install tonight, 15 min each light. Def tricky as hell with normal sized hands but thats just BMW's problem with the space given not the product. Lights look good so far no codes or anything as of tonight when I drove around the block. I'll take some pics during the day and let you guys know if any codes throw
Happy new year brothers RL

So on my way home from the gym the car threw a error. Said left daytime
Running light and a ! , then just before driving it also said it again if anyone knows is that normal or will it keep comming back? Light still was seated correct and Running perfect. I reseated the plug just to make sure everything was 1000%
