HAWT!! Any 'during' pics?

Picture of ECU. Here I tapped into the accessory power supply. This is what makes the angel eyes light up when the key is turn to position 2.

Relay, 12V power and ground.

Everything wired. Fingers crossed. It works!

Everything removed from headlights.

I was scared shitless during this part. Headlight housing apart after baking in oven @ 200F

Amber reflector removed.

I used siliconII (operating temperature up to 400F) to glue on the angel eyes.

Housing back togeather. No more ugly amber reflector!

I also have a video of the angel eyes lighting up when I unlock the car and dimming when I lock the car. I'll get that up once google video approves my vid. Merry Christmas everyone!

Very nice, thanks for the pics. Maybe I'll do this someday, but I think I have the standard headlamps.

Your car looks great!

So? I don't tend to frequent other BMW/car sites, and this post was quite pertinent to the subject matter of X5World. I am glad he did post it here.:thumbup:

Then I'd say you are missing out on a lot of information. The time to check the other sites is worth it. :thumbup:
