UPDATE: angel eye time!

12/31/05
i stayed up till 5:30 AM doing angel eyes.... :S

02 headlight that was delivered yesterday


back of the headlight with everything removed..


BAKIN!


taking it apart after 15 minutes of baking


removing the amber reflector (you should see a silver plastic piece that needs to be removed for you to take the amber reflector out...


everything removed and time for some angel eyes!


got the highbeam first...


this is the stuff that got it done 8D heat resistant upto 400F


both installed...


baking it again to get the glue soft


everything assembled with Solaris Invisibulbs



extra shots...





WOW, well i had a little trouble having the angel eyes in position while glues were setting but that was no biggie!
all i have to do now is get some marine sealing silicon job done and place it into my x5 once it gets back from the dealership!
i have to do this somewhat secretly since im grounded from my car

ps. the service advisor thought that the cluster i had was for 4.4i and tried to replace it because i had the chrome rings on hahaha :p

12/30/05
well not quite actually, my car's still at the dealership

BUT i got my hands on the angel eye kit and new headlights was just delivered today! (along with the Solaris Invisibulbs..)

I'll give you guys an update when I install everything and get it ready for my X when it comes home!

Anyone know where I can get them done in the Baltimore area? I've been wanting them since I bought the X, but I definitely don't want to try that myself!!
