He should do a webcast so we can see while he installs them in real time...

imagine the outburst and riots that would occur on this thread if jedi walked out to his car after work and it had been stolen or as installing the lights he decides to listen to the radio and keep the car's electronics on, killing the battery beyond recharge.

i don't know if they are meaner..

but i think led look brings the car up to date. pre-lci is too simple in my opinion

Wow, this is so sad. Promises before the weekend were that we'd have pics today.

And to top it off, we have a guy spouting off about the lights who doesn't even own an E60. Truly sad.

lol the install might take a little longer than we expect. maybe he has to use the existing plastic bulb holder thingy and he has to run some wiring. Remember it did say it was a level 3 install on a scale a 5. 5 being the toughest. So i think there is more involved then just screwing them on. my 2 cents

Yea I have a feeling he's running into some issues. I know with the OEM LCI tails and Bruces cables you can do the swap in like 15-20 minutes. This is not a good sign!
