Love the E60 over the F10 but when I buy my M5
it would be your color with the maron interior if possible -- Realy love that color combo.

Enjoy your ride bud

plans to install these on my friends E92, but get the problem with the wiring cause the AE plug of e92 is different than e60,so im thinking to solder it, there are three wire on the AE plug, could i just cut them off the plug and solder it with the two wire from the orion v2 ring. is it gonna work?

the brown ones are the ground ( Nigative ) , you can cut them and attach them to the brown cable of the Orion Power box but make sure they stay together because looks like it forwards the gournding to another part of the headlight ...

get yourself a few of these terminals ,, it's better than soldirng and easy to swap parts in the future

so you don't need to cut the OEM connector

Dude dont mind but its a pretty stupid question for a person who can do an entire Orion install and has problem with the wires. Learn to use a Multimeter. It will help a lot.

You dont need to solder.

1. Cut off the pins on the Orion V2's. Then peel the wires at least an inch. Open the OEM connector sockets and put the peeled wires into the socket. The same way the other wires are going into the socket. Then tape the Orion wires on to the OEM wires so that they dont come off.

2. Another simple way would be to use Wire Taps like Ehsan has pointed out, they are available in Radio Shack
