so you have three distinct lights here.
Angel Eyes
High Beams
Low (Dipped) beams.
Dipped beams seem to be the D2S bulb in a projector housing. They are most likely factory.
the High Beam is a Hallogen H7 bulb in a reflector housing
Angel eyes(aka coronal rings) are old technology using a light bulb and plastic ring. You have to determine if it's the bulb thats gone bad (most likely) or the plastic rings that have broken somehow and therefore are not allowing light to flow like they should (mind you you can NEVER EVER get them to be as bright as the new Bimmers since they have a toootally different system for angel eyes). Don't waste hundreds of quid on LED bulbs promissing to make the e53 angel eyes as bright as the newest Bimmers rings... its not possible. Anyone here who has upgraded can attest to this. You can get whiter (increased kelvin temp), but not brighter (no increase in lumens).
