You probably are biased. I can't speak for the others, but I have zippy interest in taking a dremel tool to my headlights that I just replaced last year and installing $400 worth of bulbs, just so that everyone can see my halo rings from three miles away.
My OE bulb blew out on the left side. At 9 years old, the right side wasn't far behind. BMW wanted $25 per bulb. For $10 more, I got LED bulbs that get the job done, look half way decent, and turned my 'bulb out' warning off.
Just because someone chooses a different route than you doesn't mean they're any 'less informed' than you. Not all of us are interested in rolling around with a $4000 set of headlights.

I kinda feel the same way you do. I really like the Orions, but have absolutely no desire to cut open my lamps to add them. BMW has fought condensation issues for a long time with these lights and to cut them there is just no way they could ever be sealed like a mfg process. Like I said, I was at once interested but when asked questions about how it was put back together it seemed the response I received were concerns I was going to high jack the process. I was only curious as to what it would look like, not doing it myself. I was not interested in having a light that looked horrible when you opened the hood and obvious that is was cut open or even to have condensation issues. Then there was the price thing that was the biggest turn off. the prices should be the price. Is this negotiable? If not, then post these costs so people can see when they are trying to decide if they want this option or not. Simon, this is not directed at you, because it was someone else I had spoke to about the mod.

There are variety of reasons not to post the publicly actually. To give one example, awhile ago, there was a guy going around poaching clients, quoting just under what Chris, DK, and me were offering -- only to not deliver the finish product on time (we are talking months, and one almost an entire year), end up butchering jobs, and even had the audacity to go back to the client to ask for more money. Private discussion is to protect people -- as there were a few members that showed interests publicly, and was duped by this person when he went after them via PM. There are multiple threads about this guy on m5board. Really don't know why he's not exposed to be honest.

Loosen the bolts pull headlight out a lil , pop the cover and take it out . Not much space to work with but still possible . That's how I did mine . Now I'm thinking to put hid bulb there but might run into probl due to hid bulbs being longer than AE bulbs
gotta figure something out

Here are mine; They look really nice during the night, decent during the evening but almost invisible during the day.
