ANGEL EYES WIRING DIY - 2000-2003 X5

The pic below is the wire/relay harness from the Predator chromiums and I numbered each connection with a corresponding description/where to connect info.



KEY:

1. Relay - to be mounted close to the power supply djbock's pic

2. Fuse-last item to be installed, so remove from socket first

3. Power Supply- connect to positive terminal of battery (engine bay)see pic

4. Ground - i mounted mine where the hood's ground connection is clik pic

5. Brown wire - goes through the fire wall into the footwell light, connect to the blue/red strip color wire of the light assembly connection, Just to elaborate, the footwell connection is so your new eyes illuminate when you hit the remote button open, lock or even to open the trunk.

6. Connect to ballast#1 see pic there are different wire color sets for the ballasts/harness for this, so i just did trial and error!( ex. if A to A and B to B dont work, then it should work A to B and A to B) and success was achieved

7. pink wire- connect to ECU ( look for white/red strip color wire) so AE on when key position is "on" ..pic 1 .. pic 2 .....i just found out that the wiring will be different from the 3.0 and 4.4, ( the red/white strip wire is the third wire from the left on the black socket connector for the 4.4-see pic) ( for the 3.0, it is located differently-i think its on the 2nd row--so just look for it)

8. connect to ballast #2 ...see pic
