Where can I get this template? I will do a repaint so I would like to cut the holes as in facelifted model.yg54sg wrote:* the correct procedure would be to use a metal saw and saw out the new holes on the body panel behind the light cluster BMW actally provides a template for this... however since I have never replaced a bulb in the 5 years I have had the car i dont see why I should saw up part of the metal on the car. Using my method if you really have to change a bulb just undo the 3 nuts and let the whole cluster come out, takes 2 minutes! The lights fit perfect and you can still change the bulb easily... so no hard done!
Or maybe vice versa mate. Could wire everything up (correctly to facelift) and leave the lights off till you get the chance to code them. Not having enough voltage can't do harm? But I'm sure having it the other way round would...Gr3g4 wrote:Hello. Can I code the car while old lights are still connected? Will this damage anything because of the higher voltage? I need this because the body work will be done by one guy and the electricity and coding by the other. That's why I would like to make the coding first at the electricity guy and drive with old lights to the body shop.
