Angel Eyes LED Upgrade

EKS PYB · #1 02-05-2008, 01:33 PM

Has anyone local to Los Angeles that has already upgraded their AEs with Umnitza or any other upgrades want to show a somewhat electronically challenged '04 X5 owner how to do it.

I will bring beer of your choice or starbucks or something. I am more of a visual guy and learn things that way. I tried unplugging the wires but it wouldn't come off. I also turned the bulb/socket and was successful but I couldn't pull it out. I just don't want to break anything especially when BMW is not a cheap vehicle to fix.

Anyone have a few minutes this weekend to show me? Or if you can point me in the right direction where I can find a write up. I've searched and most mods are done on an pre '04 X5s.

Thanks in advance!

I'm happy to help and would love to check out those Umnitza AEs as well, but I'm hitting the slopes this weekend

Taking out the OE bulb isn't very difficult, just twist it counter-clockwise. I know that there's not much room to play with, but be patient and it will work loose. Undoing the connectors are very simple as well since there is no locking mechanism between the bulb wiring connector and the wiring harness connector. The connectors are keyed, you can't put it back in reversed...so it's foolproof
