Need the eBay source for these too!

Been running around St. Louis with my blacked out projectors and one of my CCFL AE's are broken. I need to bake them open again to fix it so I might as well upgrade to LEDs.

Edit: Think I've found it.

The X5 uses 160mm outer rings and 130mm inner rings.

2X 160mm BMW Angel Eyes 45 SMD LED Ring Car Light White 490 | eBay

Under $30 for the whole projected assuming you just take extra wire and connect it to an ignition source.

Hold up on those measurements, those sizes are for OE lights. Not sure if the diameter is the same for the aftermarket housings mrbmwx5 and you have. I will have a set of these baked open over the weekend (I'm doing a retrofit for a member on these same lights) so I will measure the diameters and get back to you with the proper sizes!

These are the ones I would recommend using in your housings (look more OE)

Just need the proper sizes and you should be good to replace the CCFL!

To miniz guy, the sizes for the rings are 145mm for high beam and 123.8 (I'm sure 125 is fine) for low beams on those aftermarket headlights. I just measured, but may pick up a caliper to take precise to the mm measurements.

I used a tape measure on the outer diameter of both at the widest point, and converted inches to mm.

High beam - 5 3/4
Low beam - 4 7/8

Ok, so you're supposed to buy 140mm and 120mm rings?

I don't think they make 125mm rings.

The link I posted from eBay has 125 and 145 mm rings availAble! Just search for "led angel eye rings v2" the seller is elitemailers.

They should be 41 per pair. Hope that helps bro!

And I double checked the measurement today, its def 145 for the high beam and 123 for low, so 125 is close enough
