Clockwork is on a distinguished road
the seller on e-bay is HERCOLOR
the price was $28 plus $8 shipping from China but I got very quickly!!

White LED Angel Eye for BMW E39 E60 E63 E65 M5 X5 E53 on eBay.ca (item 200510540150 end time 17-Apr-11 13:43:18 EDT)

OR another seller is selling R-Dash for even cheaper ($32 for product and shipping):

R Dash 3W LED ANGEL EYE BULBS BMW E39 E60 E87 E53 WHITE on eBay.ca (item 270706436390 end time 15-Apr-11 06:20:49 EDT)

I am not saying the ones I have will be BRIGHT but I'm not using them as a source of light, just wanted to change the yellowish light to a cleaner white, as the OP's pics show.

Ok I checked out those links but I am a little confused. Is one set for all four angel eyes or do I need to order 2 sets, one for each headlamp? Sorry if I'm missing something obvious.

The problem is that these ebay bulbs don't last very long Mine were burnt out in a few month. My OEM bulbs are still running after 7 years.

1 bulb will light both eyes on each side. You'll only need 2 bulbs (one for each side)

DunKel, what year is your X? I have a 2005 with the HerColor LED angel eye replacement bulb and I am not having any issues with mine causing an error.
DO you perhaps have a dead sidemarker bulb/park light?

Thanks for the help! I have a 2006 3.0. I'll check again but I had no message before the install and then it popped up literally minutes after. Maybe the new angel eyes blew a side marker bulb. I'll check again and update.

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.
