They should swap right in, considering both from facelift SAVs.

On some pre-facelift SAVs, the LED is there and hook up. There's just no opening on the door handle housing for them. Weird I know.
You can tap the LED to the wire for window switch illumination. I put in a set of E38 illuminated handle to the 03 E39 MSport.

Hmmm good idea tan, i'll check the parts for the handles that have holes for lighting and when I replace my regulator clips in the spring maybe I'll do the retrofit for it.
EDIT: The lit door handle is about 50 bucks apiece, too rich of a retrofit for my blood. If the LED is there though I might try to just drill a hole in the stock handles and hot glue in place. I found mrbmwx5's thread and looks like the light should be in there somewhere.

When I replaced my door carrier last Spring I wondered why there was an extra wire with a small lit light bulb. My door handle has the paint chipping and have pondered repainting them. Might as well drill a hole while I'm at it.
