Is that Raj's (rkhettry23) E60?hey john, if i only want the functionality of the hid reverse w/o the switch, what part do we stop if we dont want to put the switch right now? still trying to understand the whole process... 
if i dont think i could do it, everybody keep an eye for the hid reverse kit in the classifieds! lol.

You can fish through a wire from the driver side to the passenger without going through the ECU firewall, that's what I did with a different wiring. I want to do that instead of going through middle would that be fine? I always break clips so I'm trying to avoid it. Haha

thi s is no joke! i installed my last night w/o the switch. i dont know how you can use the switch on the freeway / side street / pretty much anywhere you drive, without getting pulled over. this stuff is bright!!!
i was parked on the street in front of my house when i tested it, and my reverse lights illuminated my neighbors house down the street, probably like 4-5 houses down, he has a two story house and his house was like put on blast!!! 
(his house is located on end of the street where it curved). will try to post some pics up tonight. thanks john!!!
