Nice to see you don't have to swap the housing. When swapping nautical lights to aftermarket LED there are many complicating features such as field of projection, heat absorption, luminosity and color temp that complicate the swap. It looks like the OEM option has designed the new light to balance all of those factors.
I came across the poor wire sleeves, and what I did was cut the wires, slip heat shrink the length of each end and butt connect the ends with heat shrink butt connectors and it came out perfect without the RTV mess. I also zip tied the wires away from each other to prevent incidental contact. My way may take longer, but I hate the mess of RTV. Good video demo though.
Is there any bulbs that have brighter output ? I just picked up a pair of angel eye led , similar to these in the video , it’s bright but not like the new BMW’s... Is it even possible to get it as bright as the newer models?
Curious...why did you take 3 screws out on the top? Only 2 hold it in...I see you have bigger hands like me, need skinny guitar fingers, makes it easier
Have a 2008 550i, the halo bulb burned and the socket where it goes as well inside the headlight. Do you know how to replace the angle eye halo assembly. The retaining ring is loose inside the headlight and cant find a way to get this out! Appreciate your feedback. Roberto
I think i found them....not sure. The picture of the bulb on the site looks different than the one he holds in his hand. www.ecstuning.com/b-ziza-parts/h8-led-angel-eye-bulb-set/003584ziz01a/
I currently have a 2005 BMW 530i that needs to have the passenger side Angel eye replaced. I plan on getting that done soon, but right now I keep getting a RIGHT FRONT PARKING LIGHT MALFUNCTION chime/message on my I -Drive screen which is really annoying. How can I silence this chime so I do not have listen to it, until I finally can get the needed work done ? I would appreciate any help you can give me
www.ecstuning.com/b-ziza-parts/h8-led-angel-eye-bulb-set/003584ziz01a/ Okay, so this link from ECSTuning is actually for different models of E60. The other link I provided from Turner Motorsports is also for E60, just for different models. Check fitment.
I think these are them.....box looks the same, but the picture of the bulb looks different than the bulb in the video. www.ecstuning.com/b-ziza-parts/h8-led-angel-eye-bulb-set/003584ziz01a/
The wire insulation does suck. The ones in my e60's headlights literally crumbled away to the touch when I was changing the bulbs. I ended up using electrical tape to insulate everything
Dude can u turn off the headlight so we can see the halo.?

Great video and very well explained, now I'm encouraged to do it myself!! Congratulations from Argentina.
Good job on doing all this one handed while filming.
0:13 5 Series
Yes. My mistake. I didn't realize what I said until I posted the video.
ADVANCED LEVEL AUTO all good✌
Can you use black electrical tape instead of RTV? Thanks, awesome video.
Thanks for the video. You have the finger strength of a gorilla. My bulbs were stuck in there!
BMW - we like doing things the hard and expensive way.
10:45 or you could use electrical tape or Tessa tape
what type of led halo upgrade lights did you use?
Can you tell us what kind of bulbs use in these video and where did you purchase them, give us a link. Thanks

Thank you for sharing your experience.
Thanks for the video, I repaired the wires in the same manner
Just what I needed. Thank you!!!!
Is this consider the "PARK LIGHT" i get a message that my driver side park light is not working
same, i'm trying to figure it out cause mine aren't on
Each headlight used one bulb or two bulbs ? I see two angel lights in each headlight.
Just one bulb lights both halos.
ADVANCED LEVEL AUTO ok thanks

Great Video, but you never gave a link for the product 😹😹
Wat size is the bulb for the halos?h8 or h11 for 07 530i
Probably w5w.. on my 2003 e60 it is a w5w bulb
Forget about rtv use electrical tape
hi can you please give a link to the new bulb
I also would like to know where to find these bulbs.... as well as the bulb size.
I think these are them.....box looks the same, but the picture of the bulb looks different than the bulb in the video. www.ecstuning.com/b-ziza-parts/h8-led-angel-eye-bulb-set/003584ziz01a/
www.turnermotorsport.com/e/p-377481-led-angel-eye-bulb-set/ this one looks like a match
thanks
I won't use RTV silicon, wrong purpose. Quick work around should go for heat shrink Tubing with zip tie.
Great job
Good trick to keep those wires from eventually shorting out!
Quick and messy, but it works!
Think I would have spent just a few more minutes to separate those wires and cut soldered and shrink tube them it’s the electronic engineer in me.
Thank you
The xenon ist a beautiful white
It is 5000k

Does anyone know can i change eyebrow light
