Big PITA like everything else on this car, but patience is the key.

I say, it is not that hard, just harder than the other BMW's.
It took me 45 minutes max to do both sides.

I removed half the wheel arches and bent back the fender liner. Managed to get enough space to get the markers out and installed.

I might just be the only person on earth that doesn't get this mod. Does the reflector REALLY look that bad to everybody?

If they were red, I'd prob leave them alone, just like the rears. Much cleaner look with them body color or smoked clear.

I probably can get it done for a cup of Ice Kicker.

Remember back in the day when we all got pulled over from having side markers installed on our import. Now DOT enforced us to have sidemarkers.

The install for the X5 is 10x worse than my previous bmws. I could swap them out on my E90 and F10 in 10-15mins total. The F15 is a different story. Its sandwiched inbetween a few panels and you feel like you are going to break something if you keep bending stuff back. I recommend to just remove the fender liner to give you max space. Its really not that much more work to remove it and it will save you a lot of cuts and bruises trying to snake your arm in there to do it otherwise.

honestly, no offense to other products to tint/black out these reflectors.... it took 15 minutes a side to wrap in a black matching gloss vinyl...looks like professional painted to match.

It doesn't bother me that much either and the fact that it is a pain in the arse to install I think I will leave that mod stock

Finally got them installed. Told myself if there was only one thing I got accomplished this summer, it was these damn reflectors.
Definitely a huge PITA as already discussed, but makes a huge difference, especially on CB.
