Here is a couple pictures I took, while installing them, to help others.
I wired hot wire (red wire from LED lights) to my blinkers.
(you can wire them into blinkers, or parking lights. I decieded to run mine to the blinkers, as I have no front bumper blinkers (vertex front bumper)
Here is a picture of the passenger side
The ground (black wire from LED lights) to this ground location
Pulling back the inner fenderwall, and running the wires, I put them in this clip here
and ran them down like so
* note, the red/white and green and white are just wires I used to extend the LED light wires.

They are clear/white, just the picture I guess that made them look darker
The bottom is alittle dimmer then the top, where the 2 LED's are
The last picture with them on, shows pretty much how they are...

Thanks!!!
Thanks ACP for posting those pictures, they look great!
silverstoneTT, to answer your question regarding how bright these Z4 LED are, basically different color LED that we use has different light output. For instance on our Front Concept LED the outputs are; White 10000 MCD, Blue 10000 MCD, and Amber 4500 MCD. I need to find out how many "MCD" are the LEDs on our Z4. Also, how bright the the backgorund is when the picture is taken also affects the look. The Z4 picture in my signature is taken in a pretty dark room so it may seem brighter than the others.

hard pressed to find an amber LED in that style over 4500. thats about as bright as they get. maybe 5500.
blue is probably the brightest of all the colors that an LED can be(green is up there too), white is just blue with a phosphor material over it, as the blue passes through the phosphor it adds yellowish, just like old ladies use blue die in their hair to make it white, same thing reversed.

ACP or anyone really, the ground spot doesnt have a tap in to another cable? I was under the impression that the parking light or turn signal was both a power and ground cable together...
So did you just tighten the black cable under a bolt on the car?

Reason for SMOKED Look !!!
Just found out that the reason for the Z4 to look "smoked" is because we use "black" foam double sided tape instead of "clear" tape on our prototype. The reflection of the black foam onto the lense will make it look smoked, which looks very cool and will not affect the LED output.
