I am with you,.

I will do this this weekend, I had an idea as well, since I will open up the headlights what if I paint the lens smoke color?? or attempt to tint them out. If so this will look good ( I hope) Will post pics before so if anyone is trying or thinking of doing the same they can see what it would look like.

Thanks for the info.
The most critical part of the install I guess will be opening the headlights.

Will take pic. of every step, (even if I take a break )

Here are some pics, hope they help. I attached the ground wire to the same bolt that I used for the relay.






Not the best arrows I've ever made, but I hope you get the idea.

That is actually better then the instructions that came w/ the kit (no offense JLevySW) I will take a crack at this over the weekend, since sunday should be a good day for mods. I will put the titanium grill and rear handle along w/ the mirror sorrounds and the 20" chromes.

The basic wiring diagram on an E46 is very similar if not exactly identical to an X5. I'm not sure why people are having trouble translating the two, there really are very few differences between an X5 engine bay layout and E46./

Don't take it personal, I was just stating that the inst. posted are a bit easier (as far as the wiring goes) than the install page that came w/ the kit.

Not at all, we appreciate the feedback and are always trying to improve installation materials. However we found the instructions to be rather clear, perhaps that is not the case although the majority of our customers have had no issues.

Are we talking about the same instructions? The ones that come with the kit don't address 1/10 of the install. Is there another set of instructions I should be using? If so can you send me a link to this E46 set of instructions? I looked on your site but did not see anything.

Thanks,

Michael

Please DO NOT send eachother the link to the install guide. If you have a question about which install guide you were sent, EMAIL US and we can send you the direct link.

Thanks,

Nick
