I have looked at my e89 2009 door today and the only grommet I can see is a round one at the bottom of the door below the lock.Is this the one used to fit these.?

No, i'm sure you need to have the comfort lighting option, which will give you lights in the bottom of the door to swap over.

Decided to go down the OEM route - couple of pictures attached.

Boyo, did you get a selection of lenses with these so you can change the projected image. The BMW main dealers on Ebay seem to suggest this in their sales pitch?
 
Yep they came with 4 pairs of slides with different images. I chose OEM in the end because they were literally a straight swap and also I wouldn't get any possible error messages displaying.

P.s, your curtain pole bracket isn’t in the middle of the frame. :thumbsup:

Yep they come with a choice of 4 different interchangeable slides. However, as they are such a pain to fit I doubt whether once you have made your initial choice of image you would want to change it.

I 100% agree :rofl:
 
Fitted mine, OEM a few days ago, chose the M logo as well, bit of colour looks nice. For OEM you need to lengthen the slot in the door panel to 64 mm, two seconds with a stanley knife sorts that out. The replacements are longer and also have a nice metal heatsink block to keep the LED cool.
I found that my internal cabling was not long enough to connect them without removing the door panel, this is an easy procedure and gives you the chance to clean behind it while you're in there. If you put a bucket under the door the panel sits nicely on top of it without straining any wires while you work.
Well worth £55 of anyones money....
 
@Christrong The originals were so dim you realy did'nt know they were there. These are so much brighter.

@mcbutler A sod to get in but well worth it like you say :thumbsup:
 
Has anyone got a link to the cheapo ebay versions that they actually bought and fitted? Also, were there were any issues re: fitting and how have they held up? Being a cheapskate. :D I know I have the extended lighting package. My puddle lights seem a bit dim tbh. Maybe a clean would help.

I just bought a pair and likewise struggling with the cable connection length. Before I go for the door car removal approach I just wondered if there might be a short extender cable type solution available that anyone has come across...2" would make all the difference :)
 
I found the end of the cable in the door was very rigid, attached close to the projector unit.
Just pop the door covers off its far easier than lying on your back trying to fiddle around plugging in a lead.
