Any trouble installing them? I bought a pair from another member, I tried to install them for almost 2 hours before I gave up and will remove the entire headlight housing. I could not get the base/cover to fit back in properly and make contact with the light. It seems that the contacts on my weisslicht are too small for my light housing contacts??

wasn't as easy as you'd expect two lightbulbs to be. I actually spent hours on the FIRST set I had and couldn't get them to fit either. There are two small contacts on the socket that need to slide directly into the bulb. Note: those contact are fragile. If you try to force the bulb in, you can bend the contacts of the socket and no bulb will work until the socket is fixed.
I ordered another set from a different vendor and they fit right in. With the second set, I was done with each side in 2 minutes. You really shouldn't have to remove the headlights...I didn't.

PIEEMMPP... Thanks for the info. That is the issue I was experiencing as well. trouble fitting on the contacts. Which vendor did you get both sets from? It is my understanding that Bimmian are the ones who import them from China, and they distribute them to all the other guys. As I stated before... I purchased from another member in the F10 forum (who claims, "they were an extra set" However I feel they fit poorly and he sold them and got another pair as well?? Im dropping the bumper this week anyway to do some other mods anyway So Ill be able to see what I am doing with the contacts...

Got my good set from jlevi. Installed like a charm and the sales staff were awesome. Told me I could return them if they didn't fit.

The install on the Weisslicht bulbs were not eaqsy indeed. I FINALLY got them in and all is good now - after taking a trip to the dealer to fix what I broke. Now, I "think" I know the trick..

No prob. All I have are crappy iPhone shots at dusk. You can see the whiter color for sure however the lack of detail can't truly demonstrate the enhancement.
