MysticBlueX3 is on a distinguished road
Congrats on the install Welcome to the select few X3'ers w/ Angel Eyes. I only know of four people (including me and you) that have done it.

I did not remove my bumper either. You can remove the four screws on top of the kidney grills to give you more room to angle out the headlights. That is what I did and I had no troubles removing and reinstalling the headlights. Were you able to remove your windshield wiper tank? (this gives you more access to the left headlight) I removed the one bolt holding it on but I still couldn't move it. Felt like there was something else holding it down.

I cleared out my lenses, and I think that was the main issue. If I left in the front waffle grids this would not have been an issue.
I went with silicone II. Doubleside tape just seems too weak for me. I didn't want to take the chance of it falling off and needing to open up the housing a second time to fix it. Plus can't you see the doublesided tape? SiliconeII seem like a cleaner install. I found that removing the chrome rings to glue on the angel eyes is the easiest.
