Angel Eyes - 2002 X5

[740ilDuke]

I had a 2001 X5 5 years ago, as I recall the headlamps were sealed units and the lens were not removable to replace or install angel eyes in.

I recall reading a thread about putting them in the oven to crack them, which I will not be doing.

Have any of you found any sensible solutions for that, or does that topic remain - "it is what it is?"

Only two options... bake 'em open and add AEs or replace them with aftermarket headlights that include AEs.

So yeah, it is what it is..

^ This. And every aftermarket headlight for the E53 looks horrible IMHO. So baking is your only option. "It is what it is"

BLAST.

I prefer cutting to baking, but neither option is easy. Took me a couple of days to complete mine.

[740ilDuke]

DOUBLE BLAST.

And I still love my bi-xenon DEPO headlights with AE's.

Those actually look good in the image. Do the corners look stock when lit?

I put orange bulbs in the corners so they do look standard when lit at night. You could put white bulbs in or even LED bulbs if you wanted.

If I had pre LCI I would seriously consider those!
