I didn't do it by myself either and had a local car tuner shop installed them for me. I think it was only $40.

Used to working on things like my Harley myself. However, current health problems (cancer & chemo) keep me from doing this w/ the Predator. I am going to call the BMW dealer and offer to sign a damage waiver if they go ahead and install it. After all, the V1 hardwire was a splice into the stock electrical system as well.
Just received and installed. Bright clear white 
Car now at night look crisper, sharper, somehow fresh, newer
The picture (by mobile phone) is a lot over-exposed, but the color is identical!!

Yes, there is about 10 mm space between the led and the fibers and yes, it's not that bright, its about the same bright as stock or maybe a little brighter, but the huge difference is the pure white color. PIAA is like small hanging oil-lamp with blue/whitish hue, compaired to ICE

That's the right price.

Sorry to hear about your health.
We were at SEMA, they should have left a message. It's about a 30 minute install so you should have been charged about $60-100 at MOST. We charge people $50 flat for the work.
Would like to see them also.
NICE!
They are nice at night, but we have something new up our sleeve - something totally unexpected.
Indeed.
It's brighter than iBright or equal, but it's not $350
There are no pictures necessary
That's the right price.

I'd be glad to install mine as well but I haven't received them yet. Any problem still with shipping?

umnitza,
how do you wire it to DRL? also with DRL, the entire head light is on right? xenons and angel eyes right? How do I make it so only the angel eyes turn on, then when it gets dark, the xenons come on automatically? is that even possible? thanks.

DRL would be with our harness, still have to finish that but it will just turn on with your car automatically.
