Just purchased these angel eye bulbs. Let's see how well they work.

2X 10W White Angel Eyes LED Halo Ring Marker Light CREE IC for BMW E39 E53 E60 | eBay

I think I'll put her up on the lift tomorrow for an oil change and to check out the exhaust situation.

I just updated my nav software to v32 with night mode. Everything went well. I notice a couple days after doing it my Bluetooth phone isn't working anymore. I no longer have the telephone option in the menu.

Any idea what went wrong here?

One more thing, I'm going to try hooking up my angel eyes as drl's from the lcm instead of running ties from the headlights. I'll let you know how it goes.

Here's a write-up I just posted on the AE as DRL modification.

http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...ml#post1027820

This is done from inside the car and takes about 15 minutes. The install, not the write-up. That actually took me about an hour and a half.

Also, I want to get some LED tails. You guys think the red smoked tails would look good?

I'm looking at these.

The ups man should be dropping off my dynavin n6 tomorrow!

I also ordered these as a reacement to the ones I purchased. They're not bright enough.

Be interested to see the difference vs your '10w' bulbs.
