Cool...Like I found, before you start, go to the LCM & check what type of Bushing Contact your 2 X5s use, since the origional DIY I followed from here stated a different one than I ended up needing...this will just make the front section install smoother than it was for me. An easy way to check without having to take out one of the existing bushing contacts in the blue contact strip is to look & see if there is a rectangular kinda shaped rise in the metal of the bushing contact or if they have more of a triangular shape. If it is triangular, then use the bushing contact like the other DIY states (same one used behind the Light Control Switch) or if it's the rectangular like shape, you need to get the bushing contact I found I needed.

In the pic below to see what I'm talking about...look at the metal section right under each number...see how these look more rectangular (more trapizoidal actually):

To everyone else, sorry again! I hope to have the rest of this install (Rear Section) completed today! I'm actually waiting for my wife to get home so I can start on it...she had to get her nails done
