It's a pain in the ass for any size hands unless you're a toddler

Well worth the effort though.

Looks good.

Thanks for posting up the pictures!!! its definitely a tight space in there so luckily they only need to get installed once. Also future tip for taking pictures - try and step back farther from the car it will look more accurate that way

Took those pics on my crappy blackberry, so not much room there, too far it just gets grainy.

Heh. I just installed mine in my LMB e90 this weekend. You seriously need hands the size of a 4 year-old to install these. I ended up using a reversed pair of needle nosed pliers to do the final tightening.

For the Lux guys, I'd suggest adding a tab or notch to make the tightening easier. The OEM bulbs have such a tab coming out so turning them is easy. The precision rounded machined bulb housing actually makes it harder to do the final tightening.

Either way, excellent product. Great mod. Should have come from the factory this way.
