I have now opened a Paypal dispute with my payment to Heiko. I don't want to pass Paypal's 45 day dispute timeline.

I even got a DIY done in the mean time. I spend so much time of designing my products to make them user friendly but I forget that there is no subsitute for good old instructions.
So here goes https://5series.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=83866
I'd recommend using the other side of the wire exits as the mounting point. Again some theory here - if you look through the holes on the side of the wire exits you will see other cables running too. By hanging the module with the wire exits to the bottom to take the hot air away from the cables and through the vents on the top of the module (hot air rises). Just another precaution. But I had the nuts installed on both sides to give people choices.

Bruce, this post is very helpful. I had a good idea before how to install these but now there is no doubt. I have mounted the brackets on the boxes and can see exactly how to mount these to the LCI lights when they arrive.
I have one issue however. I had a problem with my TPM about 6 weeks ago,and when I took my car to the dealer they found water in the base of my trunk. They installed a new trunk seal and replaced the TPM module and repositioned it behind my right taillight. I dont know whether this repositioning is per a BMW spec, of the dealer just wanted to keep the module from getting wet again but when i get my tail lights I will have to figure out what to do with my TPM module.

but I think i was screwed over. If Heiko was really involved in an accident then I feel sorry and I'll understand but he had about a month to fix his mistake and he kept dodging me, telling me to be patient, not to worry, etc., etc. so time will tell i guess.

Just received a mail from Heiko's wife telling me to wait until Sep to see what can be done with my payment or lights. I've told her I do not want to wait that long.
Anyway my other supplier has confirmed that he has 10 sets of these lights in stock ready for dispatch. I've already paid him for 4 of these on behalf of members here. Anyone else want these?
They are ?350 a set + shipping.
