I bought mine at eBay for 44 quid inc p&p, it maybe cheap, but it does the job. I'm sure they will ship to europe. Fitting is another thing though, it took me 50mins on one side, but 15 on the other side once i got the hang of it.

Can you PM me the ebay id of the seller (assuming they're a frequent seller of these things)?

Mine are actually more sensitve since the LCI retrofit - anyway, you can get the sensitivity adjusted at the dealer, I had mine done because of the same problem when I had the pre-lci LM.
You should have DRL already in the i-drive. This means the low beams will activate when the key is in position 2.

yup, that's the pic of the lights. I just checked the seller, they only ship to uk, but i'm sure you can find others that ship to germany. I'll still PM you the seller anyway.

Thanks. UK restriction isn't a big problem. I can have it forwarded to me from family.

What brand are the bulbs on eBay? Besides for the AngeliBright and Predator Ice bulbs, there were other ones made from companies like PIAA that were not as bright. I believe the AngeliBright V3 bulbs from CustomAngelEyes were the brightest. Also note that in pictures, these bulbs look a LOT brighter than they are in person so don't depend on them to give you actual brightness.
