I was going to get them fitted local to me, I know a man who can, but think I've decided otherwise! To be honest, the thought of someone drilling so close to the outer shell of the bonnet scares the c*%p out of me! I asked at BMW about their ones, and they need drilling too. There's a post on here of someone getting them fitted by BMW and they did a really bad job, bent the inside of the bonnet, the paint started to come away, and rust set in. To be honest, not worth it! I may give it a go myself sometime, at least I'm in control of the drill then!

As for time, BMW will charge you 2 1/2 hours labour! That's more than the price of the lights.
