The way you detail the removal of the trims is awesome. The best guide I've seen. Thanks for taking the time to share your expertise with us brother. You are a legend.
Extremely happy you guys are back making useful bmw videos again. I was worried you guys would have gotten too busy for us simple folk. The angle eyes are an awesome simple upgrade. Thanks for sharing
Thank you once again for taking the time to make these videos. Following your steps make most DYI projects feasible. Totally changes the way your e46 looks and modernizes it. Thanks!
For real just picked up my first e46 325xi a year ago and been following since. "Yes I know a xi but got it will all records on repairs, enkei rims, yk740s, basicly 2k of stuff with car and paid 2k for it all"
Thanks man! RUclips now has this cool thing where I can see how long you have been subscribed and it says 3 YEARS! that's amazing! Thanks for the support throughout these years!
I had these in my E46 for a few years. They were great. I just swapped them back to the standard. After one side stopped working. The only hard part if you call it hard was removing the fenders a bit to reach the side marker lights
nice video man! but to be honest, The proper way in removing the headlight lens is 1. Remove corner light 2. Remove Bottom Trim of the headlight and you'll be able to see the side clip so you don't break them 3. Remove rubber upper headlight trim 4. Unclip headlight lens 5. Remove inner bezel 6. Install AE's
Love this vid mate! when I installed my angels I only found vids that tap in some wire in near the ECU ... and thats a no go for me dont like just tapping in to shit haha so did the same thing you did only I used the "Garage door opener" fuse.. works like a charm and if i want to delete it just take it out easy peasy
I wired to the footwell light and garage door fuse and all it did was cause major feedback to the ignition preventing alarm setting and turning on ignition when doors open (keys out) and when setting alarm ignition would turn on!? So cannot find a way to allow the halos to work with daytime running lights and welcome lights functions can only wire into 1 function but the switchback works perfect.
I’m so glad you uploaded this. Was looking for some angel eyes and am confused with the size of the halos as I have a Ci (prefacelift) with projector headlights.
I did this a few years ago, sellers instructions said it only worked splicing into the side indicators. I did it with the front indicators and it worked fine
If I wanted to use angel eyes instead of my front parking lights, should I put a resistor in the parking light bulb holder to trick the CANBUS into thinking that the bulb is still in there? I've been told to wire the +12 V connection to the rear number plate lights because the front parking lights use the same +12 V as the indicators, and this would cause the angel eyes to blink along with the indicators...
Hi bro, Awesome video. Where did you connect the positive terminal of the wire? Did you connet it to the 12V point on the engine bay? I didn't see that in the video. Would be very much happy to here back from you. Thanks in advance
Is it possible to wire it so that the orange lights stay on, like give constant power to the yellow wire? so you have orange halos, you know what I mean?
Hello bro nice video, i have question i have same angel eyes and i want to same but if i connect the red wire on PARK LIGHT instead of the fuse 13 and the white wire inside on interior footwell light , so my angel eyes turn on when i use the interrupt and when i move to " 0 " so they turn off? My question is when my car is unlocked and on position " 0 " , do the angel eyes turn on with the keys fade on? ( or they dont turn on with keys because the switch is on " 0 ") Thanks in advance 👍
Will this method will damage the computer because the other way that you showed me in the past has damaged the computer when you run one wire to the orange wire next to the computer
Hello and thank you for this great tutorial! Would it be possible to have a wiring diagram that goes into the cabin, please? I'm French, I don't understand your language, so a little diagram would help me a lot. THANKS

Hi silly question, doing this to my bmw e82, i see you connected the black cable which i assume is negative, then you ran white and red cable to the glove box, red cable is positve which you ran to the fuse box and white to the footwell light, when you activate your lights park lights/DRl or main beams will the angel lights come on or go off ? because the footwell light would be off so there will no power there and the fuse you connected surely wouldnt be running 24/7? im noob so this mite be silly question
if at all possible, could you also do more content on the M56 engine? my valve cover gaskets need to be replaced on my 04 325i sedan, and i think it has a different installation than the M54 engine, It would be super helpful with one of your walk throughs! Also If you might be able to give me advice on a leak i have, after it rains there is usually a wet spot, puddle/leak in my front passenger door/foot well. From what i have seen and read it could be related to my sunroof as a drain tube could come loose? are there any other drain points that could be affecting it?
I want to diy to the 02-year e46 320i sedan, but I'm not sure of the size. I am asking... Do I have to buy four 131mm or a product with two 143mm? It's a model with xenon lamps.
Did you have to code them? I had my done professional and when the actual headlight comes on my driver halos start to flicker. I’ve tried everything on coding them
Great video! I just don't understand because I have a similar angel eyes LED light but I have a couple more wires than you. I have a positive red for the battery connected with a 5a Fuse ( you only had a black I don't know why) and at the very end of the wire harness I have a sort of black box that take all of the wires together. Its written on the black box JD1914 12V 40A, it also have a metallic 0 to connect to a battery? Can you help me? It's on a F30 bmw I guess it's the same thing on all cars.
I followed your video but for some reason my angel eyes don’t turn amber when turn signal is clicked only the turn signal switchback bulk turns amber and not the entire light
Very helpful video. I'm curious now... I have pre face lift E46 coupe with the projector headlights. I can't find a kit that will have the harness to allow me to "fade" the headlights when I unlock it. Anyone got either the wiring diagram to the harness used in this video or have another solution to doing this?
With your setup is there a way to run just the angel eyes cause I'm thinking when lights are off drl on. Mid position drl on and headlight position headlight on what do you reconnend
Hi! How powerful i need depo halo ring bulb diodes? Because for me they start flashing after a while and burn out. I have bought them in various stores, but they still burn out after a short time. Where can I see which diodes I need to put? There are 4 diodes in one eye circle for all 4 eyes in total 16 diodes, many of them start flashing quickly and burn out and some don't burn out. Can you help or recommend something?
Hey I installed the Angel eyes , I put the colored footwell wire and the white wire together but for some reason the Angel eyes are not fading in and out plz help!!!!
When the car is on will they automatically come on? Or do I have the turn my headlight on for them to come on. I just bought that same unit without the switchback.
Hi man, i want to monitor Angel eyes for my BMW 318i E46 from 1999, i have found 4 wires (Red +)(Black -)(Yellow ?)(white ?), I know where the Red and Black on to be connect but I couldn’t find where to place the Yellow and White wires, do you have some idea where i can connect them?, with my regards
Mark Hey so if it’s connected to the interior accessory lights then it will turn off once you start driving, right? (Because who drives with interior lights on all the time)

Awesome guide man, can't wait to try this when my angel eyes arrive. Thanks for the thorough guide and commentary
I’ve been shopping around for some angel eyes and didn’t realize they sell these switchback type. Thanks for the video. Keep the E46 footage coming
Thanks for this video I was able to do mines and they look great! only problem was getting the switchback to work 😵💫
My back when I get up in the morning be like 8:36

You remove trim before the corner light.

glad i didnt buy some yesterday, this video came with perfect timing, im going to buy these
Thank you for the 1st video from the new shop. On my car I'd set the yellow to the alarm signal.

I'm still waiting for the m56 valve cover swap to the m54 but glad to see u guys!! Thanks for the diys
I did this a few years ago, sellers instructions said it only worked splicing into the side indicators. I did it with the front indicators and it worked fine
Covered every single detail u r best 👌🏻
On my set, I conformal coated the small circuit boards inside those aluminum modules to weather proof them.
About time 😂😂😂 glad have you videos back man!!
Awesome video, thank you. Just what I needed to do my lights.
And thank you very much. Thanks to you, I was able to repair many parts myself.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍......thanks so much best bmw work shop ever
My boy!!! Appreciate you!
In your opinion is the 2.5 to 3.0 m54 swap worth it? I want to do it to my wagon too. Great vid!
Can't you just swap the cams and intake?
yes, iron block, forged crankshaft and connecting rods, bigger cams and intake
Very nice guys! I love it! Stay safe, Nico

Fr sub frame removal on two post lift sir congrats for your garage
Hi bro,
Awesome video.
Where did you connect the positive terminal of the wire? Did you connet it to the 12V point on the engine bay? I didn't see that in the video. Would be very much happy to here back from you. Thanks in advance
Absolutely loved it.
good video.. we are doing headlights today....
I wanna know dont you have a video doing same thing on a E90 2007 headlamp i want to see how you open them.
plans for a track build? that would be really entertaining
Yes sir ! Awesome!
I see all that pollen on the car, NC has been killing us with all of that pollen lmao
My allergies havent been this bad in years! That's the one bad thing about moving back lol
Is it possible to wire it so that the orange lights stay on, like give constant power to the yellow wire? so you have orange halos, you know what I mean?
Great Video! Thanks.
Great install! My set of the regular white angel eyes started to get dead leds after a year.
Any suggestions on longer lasting angel eyes?
I've the same problem and it looks very ricey with those dead SMD LED's. Maybe the COB-LED Angel Eyes are more durable.
Jae Inguito what brand are you using?
Ijdmtoy
You need to buy cotton angel eyes. They're more expensive about 60 euros but they are much better and last years
Hello bro nice video, i have question i have same angel eyes and i want to same but if i connect the red wire on PARK LIGHT instead of the fuse 13 and the white wire inside on interior footwell light , so my angel eyes turn on when i use the interrupt and when i move to " 0 " so they turn off?
My question is when my car is unlocked and on position " 0 " , do the angel eyes turn on with the keys fade on? ( or they dont turn on with keys because the switch is on " 0 ")
Thanks in advance 👍
How do i wire it so i have the amber instead of white DRL ?
Can't the red wire be attached to the positive wire in the engine bay?
Will this method will damage the computer because the other way that you showed me in the past has damaged the computer when you run one wire to the orange wire next to the computer
hello ankur, a fan from india
Diode Dynamic is the best for halos and the switch backs

Superb ! Thankyou.
did you just put the angel eyes wire in with a fuse in slot 13?
if you don't decide to hook up the switchback option will the lights still lag when using your turn signal on the corner lights?
is there a vidoe or way to change the halogen bulb corner lights to led to match the angel eyes?
thank you man, you are the best👍✌
We need a how to do it for the facelift coupe and convertible 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

How do you make sure the wires don't melt/where do you route the wires from the headlights?
Hi, nice video.
After 10 months those angel eyes still working?
Thanks
angel eyes diy says not to tie into the corner signal wiring, to go to the fender signal wiring instead as the voltage is different...

Hey, I just bought a 325xi and been watching all your vids, just wanted to ask how can I convert it from awd to rwd?

Are you still in So Cal in case I need repairs/maintenance/body parts?
So having it hooked up to the rollover fuse. Is that to have them on all the time when the car is on?
Did you have to code them? I had my done professional and when the actual headlight comes on my driver halos start to flicker. I’ve tried everything on coding them
Can i wire the white wire to the side light so it comes on with the head light
Is it possible to convert an e46 sulev to a non sulev
Nice video guys! Im looking to get some for my 320d touring but so many out there which ones are better ccfl or smd?
Is there a way to not have to pass them through the firewall I have my abs module in the way in the "drug box".
Hey does the black headlights affect the brightness or are the projectors still bright enough
Great video! I just don't understand because I have a similar angel eyes LED light but I have a couple more wires than you.

I got exactly the same as you. How did you do then ?
This works as a welcome light, don't you need a module on the e46 sedan to make a welcome light? Or just plug the wire into the fuse box?
Do this for a refresh coupe there’s plenty of diys for the older e46
Zahir Baig refresh coupe you must buy a whole headlight assembly or bake them open that’s the one e46 wit one piece headlights
When the corners are on they stay white and 5hey only turn when Amber with the turn signal right?
I followed your video but for some reason my angel eyes don’t turn amber when turn signal is clicked only the turn signal switchback bulk turns amber and not the entire light
For the fuse box section
Did u cut the end off the red wire and just plug into the box?
I have the same Question. Did u figure it out?
What paint is used to black those headlights?
14:14 great, i have a 4 cylinder which means i can take out my whole battery plus the metal sheet which it sits on in order to get to that gromit
