[bigwave2255]

hi all, ive read around on this topic, and maybe im dumb, but i just need someone to tell me if i can, and what i need, and how easy.

ok got that out, i have a late 2005 x5 3.0d so it comes standard with angel eyes
however i would like to make them brighter, as they are barely visible in daylight

im sure it can be done, but whats involved ??

any help much appreciated

You could change out the lamps in the angel eyes.

I put in some aftermarket LED lamps in my '04 4.4i. They even come in Red, Green, Blue, White and maybe some other colors. I purchased mine off Ebay. LED Angel eyes.

so is it just a bulb that plugs in somewhere in the back of the light assembly??

Yes. In my '04 there is a small oval cover that pops open and the bulb pulls out. I'll try and get a photo of the cover. There isn't one in my Bentley Manual.

The LEDs 2004_BMWX5_4.4i is talking about replace the OEM halogen bulb with the yellowish light. The socket also matches the factory plug and it is just a plug-n-play job.

I took a photo - it's not great but show the cover. The Passenger Side headlight assembly.

On the 4.4i I have the driver side was impossible to get to. I had to remove the headlight assembly. Which meant I had to remove the bumper cover. I could find another way to do it.

There is something behind the Driver's side light unit that is easily removed, i forget what but I did mine in 20 minutes some time ago. ('06 4.8iS)
