Missed the delivery! The cables were actually on my property but the driver didn't leave them....just the yellow claim check saying they were here....
Hopefully I can go pick the cables up at the DHL center this evening. Otherwise I have to wait until Monday......

Hey are the pics of the install..
Install was very easy 30min at most... toke my time...
The cables are labeled "left" and "right"... well does that mean from the front of the car or from rear of the car. For the cable box to fit for it was standing from the rear of the car.
Hope that?s right...?
I am assuming Bruce couldn't label it as driver side or passenger side because this changes depending on the country.

THANKS for the pics!!
Looks very professional Bruce. Great job!
I would assume that left means the left side as you face the back of the car, as if you were walking up to the trunk/boot from behind it. For example, if I was driving behind someone and their left brake light was out I'd pull up to them at the next light and let them know ... "Your left brake light is out." They would know exactly which side I meant.

In the picture above, I would remove that plug from on top of that picture and let it out because that way it might be blocking some of the vents, remember hot air rises. This is exactly why the mounting position is designed to be there and vertical.
I guess you worked out how to install the item i.e. which hole on the bracket to use. It was a hard time trying to design a single bracket that would work for both Left and Right sides.
I intend making a DIY of my own this weekend to help people with the installation.

Mid way through my install of the V6 last evening. This mod looks so nice I have to get out of my car every so often and look at it!

This pic needs to be archived somewhere as a perfect example of the difference between the 2004-2007 and 2008+ LCI back lights!

Another Group Buy http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=77291 opened for those who were interested. This is the last Group Buy I'm doing for the moment because I've run out of the first batch of units that were made. The next batch has a lead time of about 8 weeks.
I lost some money on the previous Group Buy because I miscalculated the shipping costs and Google increased their fees from 1st of May
