HELP with 04 X5 angel eyes went out

[x5boy]

One side of my angel eyes went out on the 04 X5 3.0. what is the best way to fix this problem without paying loads of money. I was thinking of replacing the entire headlamp unit but then I might have unmatching HID colors.

Any suggestions?

If you want the simple solution, just get a replacement bulb online or at your dealer. Should be less than $40 IIRC. Pop open the cover to gain access to the bulb (shown with cover removed in the pic), unclip, and twist to remove. Really easy if it is on the passenger side as it is not obstructed at all (at least not on a 4.4). One bulb lights both rings.
