Follow this diagram:




1. connector/relay from EAS
2. fuse
3. connect to pin 87
4. connect to pin 86
5. connect to pin 87a
6. connect to pin 30 (positive wire) & 86 (ground wire)
7. connect to pin 85
8. connect to pin 30 (positive wire) & 86 (ground wire)

After you have it all wired up to the connector/relay, follow the article on the main webpage.

Correct, you wouldn't need the relay or connector. I just posted the DIY incase you wanted to make it.

BTW, where can you purchase just the harness?

Also, the relay must stay completely dry. I had problems with small amounts of water getting inside it and effecting the wiring.
I had to replace it a few times... no biggy since there are about $5. Now I have a nice thick bead of RTV sealing the relay from the elements.

I'm getting it from a member here who was selling the entire light assembly etc.. so i'll have an extra pair of xenon light assemblies.. with AEs already installed - on the waffles though. Few tabs broken here and there but i'll probably fix it up and hold onto 'em as spare.. :-)

Wow - they do look good. Great job and a pleasure to offer the limited advise you needed.

Just finished another much more complicated AE and lens change project on my other Bimmer, a Z today. Have a look here:

You can see my X with upgraded lights in the background of one shot
