Hi Bozz,

Am able to share your pain here as I have done an aftermarket HID install myself.

That bloody light housing is just ridiculous. It took me over 1 hour, scraped and bleeding hands and arms, and a lot of cursing before I was able to get the HID to fit in the holder.

I do NOT want to go through that again! So here's to hoping my lights dont fail me prematurely.

Other than that how's your Great White doing? Any further modifications? I've been a bit slack recently as been on 1addicts.com discussing my new 135i convertible.

Good luck with the install mate, but I think just let your dealer do it, save you from all the cursing!
