Kudos to you for wanting something and making it happen. It looks beautiful. I think you're the only one in history to have successfully accomplished the install. I want to get the exact same thing done on my 2023 760i however the dealer has never done it before and said they cannot do it. I'm tempted to try it on my own but I cant seem to find instructions or assistance anywhere. I am able to order the exact same parts you provided but not sure if I should tackle it myself and then contact a programmer/coder to complete it so its functional on the BMW IOS for toggle vs tapping into the lights. Anyone have any ideas? I have the M Sport Pro pkg with shadowline trim so my grill is non illuminated black and I would like to replace it with black but with illumination.

I like it better with the shadowline back grill without the illuminated option. Looks a lot cleaner and doesn't highlight the nose

That’d my opinion too. The shadowline black grill, on black paint, Msport, crystal headlights… looks fantastic!

To be fair, you just don’t like it at night.

The iconic glow grew on me only after I had an i7 loaner for a month. It has a nice presence to it when walking up to it at night.
