I put on the painted front bumper reflectors and the lux vers 3's on my own with no problem at all. The py24w are a nightmare to put on. After an hour or so, i just went to the body shop and had them put them in for 40 bucks. it was worth it. Got the lux headlights from the member on the board where we all pre ordered them, the painted front bumper reflectors and turn signals i got from http://www.jlevistreetwerks.com/

With the LUX H8 V3, we are now working on a change to make them work with the X5m, and the X6's We should have them available mid-June time.

Hi, can you please elaborate? I checked the manual and it looks pretty easy to change the turn signal bulbs. I was going to get the PY24W LEDs but if it's a pain then I might not bother.

I changed my angel eyes to LEDs and THAT was a pain. I did it back in January in 15 degree weather. Took me about an hour hah.

I ended up ordering the PY24W LEDs. I'll just think of it as a father's day gift to myself haha. If I was able to squeeze my hand through the little work space to change the angel eye bulbs in 15 degree weather then I should be able to handle this

I don't understand why would they make the simple turn-light bulb replacement such a pain? Can someone please explain what is the difficult part? Is it actually getting into the housing to remove bulbs, or is it removing and replacing bulbs? I couldn't find any guides, but I assume you need to remove the whole headlight assembly and simply remove socket replace bulb and replace assembly.

According to the manual, it is simple twist-off, replace, twist-on to replace the turn bulbs. Isn't that how you replaced yours? Were you sarcastic about how tough it was to replace them?

looked good. now you need to upgrade the headlight output to 6000k to match with it.
