I couldn't figure out how to install the door handle light. The light is just hanging inside. The X5 was not asleep when the panel was removed. The street bulb burned my finger good! I need to find the style and replace them with LED bulbs. The stock ones get super hot!
I know of your struggle... and never did get the little bitty door handle light back in place so mine is also lighting up the inside of the door.

Amazon sells assortments of LEDs and I replaced every interior bulb with them. So much brighter and they won't burn you!

Next up: LR door lock actuator and door seal...
