Mine came in today. The lights look great. Now I just have to decide how I'm going to integrate them. I also got the connectors but need to figure out how to mount the lights.

I decided to hook up one of the lights tonight to see the contrast from factory to the BMW lights. These aren't good pictures but I thought I would share. I didn't mount the light; just plugged it in and sat it on a small bucket. Don't pay attention to the bright vs dark spot on the ground because I didn't have it aligned with the ground. The beam pattern is very similar to HIDs because it has the cutoff line for LHD.
The head-on shot show a pretty good idea of the in-life color. I had my low beams on, but knelt down to get a decent angle. It's pretty close to the factory HIDs, but just a hint blue-er...
The angled view also gives a pretty good idea of the color contrast but my phone camera decided to dramatize the blue color too much. In person they aren't that blue; more of a white. I would guess they are somewhere around 5000k-6000k.
Anyway, nothing spectacular to see but thought I would share.
I still need to spend some time outside in the daylight and figure out the best way to mount these. I can't wait to get them installed.

I received my adapter harnesses today. When I get a chance I'm going to work on trying to install them. The weather has been so crappy, but it warmed up today and I washed all of the salt and dirt off. The harnesses work great. I ended up buying them from ledlight.com

I bought from them as well, for $3.50 each. Glad to hear the work. Shipping was damn near as much as the harnesses, lol.

I am going this route... a bit more money, an engineered solution. 6000K, 600 lumens, amber Aled halos wired to side markers. I'll post installed lighting photos for comparison when they are in place in about a week's time.

The adapters are on eBay.
The brackets are here. The prices have changed, but it says more stock on the way so the price may change again.

Did you receive your brackets yet? The number FO2603100 is a cross for the 09-10 brackets. Have you compared them to the ones out of your 2012 yet?
