Incidently - How do you crack these bad boys open?
I did some on my S3 years ago successfully - involved placing them in the oven of all places!! to loosen the bonding... not too keen in chucking these in the oven though

The new F10s have two bulbs now for their AEs and the E60s have one, thus the F10s are brighter and can be seen during the day (white light). I have he 6W LEDs from Trinity Autosports and they don't show up at all in the sun, but look great at night. I am getting Simon to install my Orions.

Well, opening with power tool is just for it to be cleaner and easier to seal. Incidentally, using the insane method of soldering iron to open as per Umnitza's first PDF will work, just takes forever and smells like burning hell. Plus it looks nasty on the ridges.
Baking it does not work on these unless you want to damage other parts of the headlight.
Alrighty, let me know
