Safe to say having learned the hard way, paid $300 including labor and got BMW to replace them all with the OEM LED kit. Now i'm stuck with an EAS kit that I need to get rid off! Keep in mind, i've changed LED interiors on BMWs and other cars successfully before, I just think the M5 is a little different. In hindsight, maybe disconnect the battery...
Ouch - that really sucks... I recently changed out my lights to LED on my M5 and thought exactly about that. So glad that didnt happen.
