lol The flash made it look way more dramatic then it actually is. Its a nice ride at night though cause the footwells are hooked up to stay on when headlights are on the whole time you're driving. matches the standard redish/orangish BMW lights well.

Default Replica M5 Mirrors

Any advice? Thanks everybody!
Which ones did you get?
Where did you purchase them from?

I received and installed the lights I mentioned in post #4 of this thread. The projectors are the perfect diameter to clamp into the existing puddle light slots. I simply swapped out the old ones for the projectors and used the existing wiring plug. I just did the fronts for now...

Total install time - 10 minutes
Total spent -$22.75

I like it!!

It's definitely an attention grabber at night time, if there's people around you getting out of car. If that's what you're going for. lol

After I installed mine, I really had a hard time looking for a dark spot to test out the projector. Everywhere I go, I see nothing but lights, lights and more danm bright lights...

As soon as I found the spot and testing it out, I got robbed.

Robbed meaning they looked lousy? They are very clear if aiming straight down and underneath the door. specially in the snow btw. for any people up north. looks amazing on the white snow.. even though snow itself sucks lol
