LED Connection
Hi qadhi7
I'm planning on doing the same mods you've done, CF and LED. Can you tell me where did you connect the LED lights to? Thanks Tdubyu |

Regarding CF..I have already removed CF slates. Bought BMW M performance black grilles and interchanged my stock chrome grill slates with black ones creating M5 style look..you can see the result here http://f10.5post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=790998 Also, I am not happy with the CF vinyl finish on the mirrors and have already ordered CF mirror covers from eBay. Will remove the vinyl as soon as the CF covers arrive. These CF covers install over the stock covers. Here is a link on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-F10-5-SE...-/160702938031 |

I don't get why you've added some LED DRls, they come as standard and I think the standard ones (assuming you're xenon there) are quite possibly the best out there in the market. very distinct .
Just my opinion! |

You will have to cut a piece off on the bottom. Last edited by 528imsport; 02-05-2014 at 06:56 AM.. |

Finally I got the package and have installed them. These covers are thin but have a good finish. Installation is done using thin 3M tape supplied with the covers.
The fit is perfect but since these are overlays i.e. you install them over your existing mirror covers, you need to slightly cut the bottom part to adjust for the mirror movement. This small cut is in the bottom and not visible at all so you don't have to worry about the finishing. Special thanks to "M_528i" for the cut picture and directions Initial test fit, cutting and final installation took me around 20 minutes total. These CF covers look great and being thin, its hard to notice that these are overlays! Here are some pictures of the installation from different angles. |
