good questions:

1. i've left them on an entire day at work (10-8pm) and came out with no problems...
2. once you walk away from this, you'll KNOW they are on, they are so bright, it's like having your fog lights on
3. oh, tough one, that one is a SOL, i wonder sometimes if mine are on, i usually visually check they are on before i get in the car.

How do you know if the rings are on or off when you are inside the vehical especially during the day?

Dont get me wrong. I love how they look and probably am getting the mod very soon. 1)Sure leaving them on for a day wont hurt but for me i drive maybe once a week and leaving them on for a week is probably not good for the battery.
2) I dont like to having to ck the front of the car everytime i get out of the car.
3) This is what i dislike the most about the product. however i think dave said that you can wire them to your factory light to turn them on and off... It would be good if the remote has separate on / off button..( does it?)
I also have the day time running light programmed to be on so need to get that turned off.

Kirk actually has the older remote switching system, the newer system has a seperate on/off button. So there is no confusion to whether they are on or off. 99% of our customers go with the remote, and all love it.

These special made Angel Eyes for X5 headlight's are really interesting.


I did this mod with Angel Eyes made for E46 headlight's and it look quite similar to the "special" angel eyes in size and color (13,2cm is my angel eyes). The bracket on last 2 pic's is used to mount the Angel Eyes to your reflector in the headlight. But on the low beam I removed the brakcet and mounted the ring with Quick Epoxy that will hold the ring in place (not visible)

Angel Eyes is connected to the parking light and also a 4 ch RF Remote Controller will be mounted soon. It's should also be possible to attach the Angel Eyes to you interior light's and when you unlock your car the angel eyes turn-on and when you lock your car the fade out.

Cool Angel Eyes

But you should not mess with the headlight's if you don't have some skills, the tools and correct sealing!!!

Not trying to mean to the DIY'ers...but just giving an educated and honest opinion.

If you want a product made directly for this vehicle, then check out our headlights.


the angel eyes that i have put in my headlights are slightly bigger than what you are using... the rings are also thinner, brighter and whiter... i'll post some close up pics and night pics... so that you could see... and there are no wires or glue visible... and it doesn't look cheap...

even your custom headlights doesn't look like an original bmw... and i really don't like the looks.. the signal lights, reflector, etc... i don't like the look of the rings in the high beams... it looks like it was just hanging and there's too much space under.. just giving an honest opinion...

I did the angel eye mod on my 2003 M3 with the parts from Uminitza..and I had great customer server and response. During the install I broke one of the rings and he replaced it for no charge. I'm very happy with them and I've had them for over 1.5 years....
