You don't need to cut any part of the trim, be patient and it'll fit, push the end with a flat head screwdriver and the light itself flexes and eventually will slot in !
I tried man, that's how I broke one of the lights the first time around though. They're pretty cheap and weak. But hey, obviously you found a way! Thanks for letting everyone know!
Thanks you for taking the time to do the video. You made my day, I just installed my set of 4 lights but what I used to make it fit was an flat metal file and you have to shave at least 1mm to make it fit perfect.
Glad it helped! If they don’t fit though, I’d recommend returning them and ordering a new set first. (From someone else). This video is old. The batches from China back then were very inconsistent. They have gotten much better! You shouldn’t need to shave anymore.
I have x3 f25 2013 and doesn’t have lights at all at the door panel but as I saw the same model has so depending from the version you buy . So my question is if I open holes is there any possibility to find cabling inside?
Hi man, I got a pair of those and after about 5 months of use, the projected logo on the ground is not clear anymore. Very unclear colors and blurry. Have you got any problem similar to this ? //Jerson
El Jersito Mine are not blurry but there are like 2-5 “holes” in the BMW logo film that’s on top of the bulb now causing small black spots in the projection. These are just cheap Chinese bulbs. You might have got a bad batch. Just swap them out with some new ones. Like I said in the video I’d be happy to get 1-2 years out of them. Even then $16 every year or two is not bad. It’s just annoying having to spend time to redo the job. Wish BMW would make bulbs like this themselves that would last longer. I wish you and your BMW the best! 🙏🏾🙌🏾
I agree. It is what it is. I’m not mad. I ordered another set and they were too small this time. It sucks but for $4 a door you can’t beat it. Much better than BMW $30-$50 per door!
Sidfluence I have no idea what to tell you my dude. Try checking the forums like “bimmerpost” and “Xoutpost.com” and ask them on there. Hopefully one of the guys there knows how to fix that 😬
From Amazon. I added some links in the description! Be careful where you buy them from! Some will give you error lights. The ones in the description are the ones I bought and are error-code free!
Yes, if your lights are in the doors it will work. Just make sure you get the correct size on amazon. It may be a little smaller on the cars vs X-series SUV's. Double check but the general installation process is the same.
A screwdriver with one tiny wrap of electrical tap on its tip will work better. Tape if you’re worried about not being able to see rim of light to remove) otherwise a screwdriver is fine. Buying this plastic kit...waste of money.

I’m trying to put in on my 328i do I have shave it ? Or you think I’ll be able to slot it in ?
The light made me laugh 😂😂
Thanks for this video, I had the same problem on my X6 would not fit and thought I bought the wrong set.
Thanks for this video man, just ordered a set!
You got it bro! Thank you for the support, it really means a lot!
how did u make them look so much brighter at the end?
Man you made of work of that, it should just fit from the box. My popped in with no problem? f10 520
This video is very old when these units were first being made. Most units did not fit well. A lot has changed in 5 or so years!
I gotta replace the one on my driver's door on my 7series
Thank you definitely needed this help!
Glad it helped!

My logos were all upside down, wish I knew I could turn them before I installed them, found out later by accidentaly breaking one then fixing them lol
Good job clever man !
Thank You!! 🙌🏾
Wonder if he ever realized its the wrong body tool. He's using a rivet remover. Thx for video.
Check to see if I can use them in front interior floor lights.....please

broooo i like you :)
Uk any way to put it on a e46 that doesn't have taht hole to place the light
the original part available from BMW will fit, what else do you expect from an aftermarket part.
I agree.
It is what it is. I’m not mad. I ordered another set and they were too small this time.
It sucks but for $4 a door you can’t beat it.
Much better than BMW $30-$50 per door!
You look sorta like G-Eazy bro!
yo my plug is stuck. like the black part that connects it, i can't get it out

Mate where do you get the bmw logo from?
From Amazon. I added some links in the description! Be careful where you buy them from! Some will give you error lights. The ones in the description are the ones I bought and are error-code free!
can you tell me how much it costs 4 piece as it please
You can get a set of 4 for 15 dollars off Amazon
I took them off with my finger lol
Haha. "Pushed it in with all my force".
Really..? 😂😂🤣🙄🤣
just got one and i couldn't get it in, thanks man
Yusuf Patel Glad I could help 🙏🏾
hey amazon says that link is no good. can you update it
I bit late but the links have been updated haha
does it work in the 325i?
Yes, if your lights are in the doors it will work. Just make sure you get the correct size on amazon. It may be a little smaller on the cars vs X-series SUV's.

Bro you took too long to do this. Some of what you said isn't true. Thanks anyway!!!
Αν ήξερες και να το έβγαζες καλά θα ήταν !
Does this work for a 2000 740 il?
As long as you get shadowlights that are the correct size, they should work fine
Ok. I’m just gonna leave it alone. Looks like too much work.
this guy doesn't know what he is doing!
@@WenLiu-x9x dude this video is almost 6 years old.
These cheap crappy logo lights have gotten much better. They were terrible fits 6 years ago.
Chill
