I found this when looking for new headlights and thought these additions would look great on my 07 M!

Re: Led light strips
Some guys on the FB group have done this, they might have more info. Not sure I've seen a howto here for them.

Re: Led light strips
Those look nice, but only if they are same color as the headlamps. If you upgrade to 5500 kelvin HID headlamps, they should match very close. To do these LEDs, you will need to bake the headlamp unit in the oven to get the butyl tape soft enough to separate the lens from the headlamp unit, then wire mount and wired the leds to light when the engine starts. Then use fresh butyl tape to re-seal the headlamps and bake them again. It's been done before. There is a video of how to bake your headlamps:
