Saw this on eBay:

Question to you folks out there who have done this mod, how hard is it to retrofit this mod?

Thanks in advance!

Do a search in the forum, several members have done it.
Perhaps wait until March and BMW might come with these as OEM BMW parts

Easy install. It should have the ground wire kit included by now(fix for dim LEDs). Good customer service with rmhawaii of car-gym.com .
PM him for info.
