i know im asking randomly but does any of you know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account? I stupidly lost my login password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me.
@Andres Nikolas I really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and I'm in the hacking process now. Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Been looking at BMW's and your videos help a lot with my decision seeing as everyone talks about how expensive they are to maintain. Keep it up bro I like the hustle 👌🏼
Appreciate it! Still have a long way to go, with each vlog I am starting to figure out more of what I want to do as well as make better content for you guys. Thanks for watching!
Another great video by ShoplifeTV. No get your but back to NC where the rent is cheap and the people are sweet. Plus I need a shop to take the Beemer when I'm lazy.
Aw, I was waiting for how lights look in the dark. I love the editing mistake (maybe Selena left it their :-) ). Top snot wipe with your shirt. Are the LEDs a stand out mod, or just something to do? i.e, can people go "Whoa" or not even notice?
Hi, this was a really good tutorial video, although funny, you don't have the issue with the clamps on a Touring, but you don't have LED turning lights either on it. These are really good quality lights, I have been using them for almost 6 years and no faults, no water damage (I live in EU with sometimes really bad weather) :)
Hi, yeah they flicker "a bit" on start up and if the battery is low, but no other major issues besides that :) Btw, the flicker is part of the on-board diagnostics, so since they are rear lights I didn't pay much attention to it, since they kept on working :)
My rear left indicators on my set of Eagle Eyes went bad after a year and a half or so. Hopefully your set lasts longer than mine! Very hit and miss with longevity from what I gather on E46Fanatics.
hello ShopLifeTV, love your videos, one quick question, I have my 323CI, but not sure which one should be better ,smoked ones or the clear ones led ones? any suggestion?
Awesome work, and love the channel! Have you considered retrofitting any facelift trunk-lid brake lights? The dummy sockets under the reverse lights seem like a waste of space...
Got my first bmw Saturday, e46, motor is no good so I got a pretty good deal (500$) about to pull the old motor out (it's a 2000 323i with the sports package) I'm so excited, any tips on the swap? Things that will make my life easier? You seem to know a lot and I'm also a mechanic and like to ask a lot of questions ha
Congrats man! Few tips... Take off the front end, pull engine and trans together, replace as many gaskets as you can, do front suspension as well. Message me on instagram @ShopLifeTV if you have any questions
Do these flicker on start up and then at regular intervals due to the system checking for broken bulbs??? I know the LED side marker ones behind the front wheel do because the small current is enough to make them come on.
ou know what bugs me about these? The aftermarket lights have a black housing for the outboard lights and light grey for the inboard. Since the color of the housing ghosts through the lenses, the outboard has a dark outline and the inboards don't, so they don't match each other. OE uses light grey housings for both and look cleaner.
Thanks for video as always yoisaid no lights on dash thats what I was worried about. Did you hear anything about the new led styles off ebay if they would give a dash light code. I heard they do
Thanks brother loving your video, it helps alot.just had problem which the turn signal didn’t work after a while of using it. Something wrong with a fuse or something else. Really appreciate it if you can reply this comment. Thank you brother
@@Frenchie67100 not yet... but I do remember a year ago I had a guy work on my car that has the software and I remember him telling me that he was able to remove any codes
Hey man I just replaced my tail lights and I was jw did you end up getting the rear light symbol come up on your dash. how do I get ride of that please man.
Wait so you don't have the dash light come up saying that your tail lights are out? How come others have this problem? I'm curious because I'm looking to replace my halogen tails.
What year e46 is that? I've heard you can have issues with the LCM. I have a 2004 330i and I heard I can do an OEM LED conversion? Any info on that? I've googled but found nothing straight forward.
I had the taillight recall done where they redo the ground wires. I installed these taillights but the nighttime running tail lights don't turn on, is it a ground issue? Im going to ground to the chassis and see if that works.
@@morientesfan910 nah man, i tried grounding it myself to the car and they still didn't stay on. returned them for a replacement and the same issue occurred
Crap Ok so I have the same issue, a ground burned out and on the oem housing you can put a ground on it. 50skid has a video where the same thing happened but the lights he puts on doesn't need the ground so here goes nothing
Hey. I would like to change my tail lights on my E46 facelift Touring to a LED light. I found a Led tail light on facebook marketplace for about 20 euros. One of them is cracked a littlebit on the left side. I have a perfect tail light lampshade, can i change it? Can i remove the cracked led tail light lampshade or you cant make it like on the headlight? Because there you can take apart easily.
I've just got a 2004 330ci and all goes well except in the morning it doesn't start. I think it might be cold because if I come back from work it works. But we're not talking about crazy cold, outside temp sensor showed 16 celcius. The car cranks. I'm guessing fuel pump but Idk?
ShopLifeTV No none of that. Changed the fuel pump and car still won't start. It did start once with starter fluid and I pressed the gas pedal and it went, if not presing the gas pedal it would have died. It's like if there isn't fuel pressure when it's cold. I also have a crankshaft pos A code. I'm thinking of changing it but damn
TheMidnightNarwhal I have the same thing for my 2004 225Ci it's not a big deal. In the menu of the car it says put it on drive 3-5 minutes. 5 min the most if it's cold. You will get used to it buddy
@@richlee509 Haha, well my comment was 6 years ago. Anyways it turns out it was the fuel pump relay. When cold, because it was burned or something one prong, it didn't want to work.
The bulb covers for my taillights look like they do not fit even close to the OEM, and my harness has 3 stick on blocks, not just one. I’ve got a 2002 330Ci, what’s the deal with this??
Jason, I know you're busy, but I need help with this exact tail light (except for a facelift car, 2004 E46). Just hooked them up, everything working except the driver side tail light. It won't light up at all. Bulb out error showing on my dash. Does it have anything to do with the blue ground wire, which now has nowhere to go? Or should I assume defective?
PLEASE HELP. I have the exact same kind, for some reason I only get power going to the trunk interior light but no power anywhere on the tail light. Any thoughts?
@@m1tch3l41 Thankyou. I figured it out. There’s a recall on the early model ‘04 for e46- a separate ground wire has to be spliced and wound with the ground on the tail light. Guess I’m an electrician now lol. Good times.
thx for your tips on you tube! I only have a little problem with my bmw e46 2001 flash light indicators they are going often very fast,so not all the time but most of the time...do you now what the reason for this is? thanks in advance!
These Eagle Eyes are garbage on pre 3/2003 M3 build dates. There is not enough current draw and sends false signals that the bulbs are out. Also the voltage spikes cause all the lights to blink on and off, intermittently due to the electrical protection circuit cutting in and out.
Don't be stupid, don't install these cheap e-bay LED lights... My gf 316i has exactly the ones as in video. First time i saw them, they looked really nice. But after about 6 monts, some diods failed and after week or so, they failed all. It's impossible to get just spare parts with LED diods, so either you buy whole new lights or somewhere get bunch of LED diods with different parameters and try what fits best and also get someone with right equipment (believe me - just solder is not enought) to replace them. Also they sometimes randomly blinks or turns off for fraction of second. Ewwww. Now I appreciate how nice is just replace bulb and dont care :) Thats my experience...

Do these flicker on start up and then at regular intervals due to the system checking for broken bulbs??? I know the LED side marker ones behind the front wheel do because the small current is enough to make them come on.
Sometimes they do flicker for a second at startup, especially if your ground wire is not grounding properly.

What no?

How do you adjust aftermarket headlights on a BMW 325i 2001
There should be twisty knobs on the top of the housings that allow you to adjust them
