    Hi Sreten, love the videos. Just wanted to mention that on the LCI tail lights the ground pin had a tendency to get a bit melty when all the lights were on due to a bit of under engineering on BMW's part, crazy I know. Might be worth adding a thicker ground from the tail light to chassis ground.

    Tips for removing or installing the headlights: remove the seal from the top of the bumper and the torx bolts from underneath the seal so you can bend the bumper away a bit. Makes removing and installing the headlights way easier.

Found out about this a few months before selling the car.

    The problem with PPF on headlights is that, even though it looks perfectly clear to you, it can interact with the headlight beam and create glare and/or send light where it shouldn’t go. Really unfortunate there isn’t more thought into the longevity of these systems from manufacturers.

      Exactly. Even a clear film will diffract the beam and create glare. It is forbidden to install clear window films on the windshield for the same reason. The headlights are precision optical devices that are designed to very tight tolerances. Especially with high output light sources such as HID or LED.
      The European spec is very strict regarding beam control and glare avoidance. This is the reason the DOT headlights had to go, as the antiquated US standard allows for a wider beam and higher glare.

    On some headlights, if you apply PPF to the headlights and later try to remove/replace the film, there's a chance that the factory headlight coating will come off as well. Would be nice if they made it possible to replace the clear plastic component on headlights.

      Depends on the angle of the wrench handle to the head of the bolt. If it's 90deg directly to the side then the setting doesn't change. If it's in-line with the bolt (either on the short side or long side) then a 4cm offset crowfoot with a 500mm bar could alter a 140lbft setting to 129 or 152lbft. So yes, it matters, but not hugely.

      In Germany it is easier to point out what you can do rather than what you can't.
      Strict laws are in some cases good, because with them, I rarely see idiots with those retrofit HID kits, also really annoying people with straight pipes are mostly non existent. In Germany everything is "smaller" and closer together than in the US :D
      But on the other hand, if you want to modify your car in general, germany is sometimes stupidly obsessive with their laws and stuff.
