Today in the Iron JV Kitchen Stadium we have a battle of epic proportions.....X5world members vs. BMW X5 and today's secret ingredient.............
Angel Eyes!
The X5world members have 1 day to bake, unseal, install AE's, re-bake, reseal and install the AE's; all WITHOUT INSTRUCTIONS!
Can it be done?!

I'm glad I was able to assist, actually, wish I was there.

Just a side note after seeing the pics......you could've used some blue painters tape to hold the rings while the silicone dried.

If someone is willing to donate a light and a set of AE's, I'd be willing to get a set of instructions and maybe a video together of installing the AE's.
The basic instuctions would go something like:
TEST RINGS BEFORE PROCEEDING! (wouldn't it suck to do all this and then have them not work?) If you hear the infamous "bink" while installing rings, it probably broke, so re-test to verify.
  1. pre-heat oven
  2. open beer
  3. shake head a you place a headlight assembly on cookie sheet and place in pre-heated oven
  4. finish beer
  5. remove headlight
  6. detach clear lense from headlight
  7. remove (4?) screws to remove inner housing
  8. remove waffles if desired
  9. attach rings with silicone
  10. secure rings with tape while silicone dries
  11. while silicone dries, drill hole in housing for wires to pass through
  12. carefully remove tape
  13. attach inner housing to main assembly
  14. run wires for AE's through back of assembly
  15. clip clear lense back on
  16. rebake entire assembly
  17. remove from oven
  18. squeeze 2 halfs together until secure
  19. drink another beer
