Change the Angel Eyes OEM bulbs

[Clockwork]

Check again that the connections to both LED angel eye replacement bulbs are pushed in fully. I know mine took some serious pushing in, cause of a tight connection.

Someone, please help me... How do I change the website to English? I don't know Spanish....

Got upgrade bulbs, hope to switch out tomorrow. I see the passenger side is easy access, how much needs to be removed for access on the drivers side?

I'm in the same boat as you, does this really need to be moved or is there a simple way?

hypnotiqdmg pointed me in the right direction. Pic attached of the 3 bolts to remove. That enables moving things a bit in order to get access to driver side bulb.

How an earth did you get to the cover with all that in the way?? Mine arent that big (Oo err missus ) but I can't get anywhere near the bulb, I'll have to move that 'stuff' in the way,

Hi Tom i'm preety sure i didnt have to remove that I know i started to remove those nots and my neighbour popped over and amnaged to do it. HE can change the angel eyes bulbs on his 6 series somehow by the time i got back to pick up my 10mm socket he had done it! By the looks of if the tab is on the top i did press down with a scredriver and pop the tab down he then managed to twist the bulb and and get the new one in. Or it maybe a acse of moving that bracket etc out the way. I think a coolant pipe is clipped there so u may have to just pop it out from its holder clip

I replaced mine over the weekend and needed to remove the three bolts mentioned on the previous post. you need to lift the housing to get access the the bulb cover. if you can get a buddy to hold the housing up while you replace the bulb it goes much much faster. I replaced my OEM AE bulbs with a set from ebay (Angel Eyes LED bulb BMW E39 E53 E65 E66 E61 E63 E64 E87 | eBay=) for $45 shipped. They look awesome and yes you can see them durring the day.

Yes, that is the same seller and kit I bought from. I used a flashlight to prop up the housing after removing the bolts. I can't imagine getting a hand in there with everything in place....
