There is a guy on the e90 Houston Facebook group that used to do them all the time, very reputable too. I know he cut back on the amount of lights he mods but I think he still does them. He might be your best bet. If he won't do it, he might know of who in Houston would. PM me for his name and I can look it up for you.

Why not just order a set and install them??

The Houston guy mentioned is TJ Talal Obeid. Get on Facebook Houston BMW club E90 list.

It's not too difficult.

I did it myself; took about three minutes per side. No big deal. Wear cotton or nitrile gloves. Get a LED light to stick to your head.

Bought the "LUX H8 V4 - Color Adjustable Angel Eyes" from www.LuxAngelEyes.com Tot=$235.00

They work great!

Seems awfully complicated with all those tools, almost as hard as rocket surgery

Yes, but don't forget to remove the LED light from your forehead when done.

I recall when I removed mine, I just used my hands, in a dimly lit apartment garage, and might have been eating a burrito at that time.

Good thing the burrito didn't end up in the headlamp ring.
