angel eyes
 

hey guys .. i just got my angel light kit and wanting to install, but dealership says. not a good idea to install it cuz water can get in the headlights after installing the halo rings... wondering if this has happened to any of you guys, and dont know if i should install it anymore. thanks

Condensation won't be a problem as ling as you put the headlight back together correctly. Remember patience is key.

i opened my headlights several times, and no condensations so far

Exactly. Just follow our baking guide and you will be fine:

BMWERKEN:

Whatz the deal with the cold weather ballasts for the Predator AE's? You heard anything??? Um Nitza your distributor has told me they have no news on them yet?

Also do these Angel Eyes come with the new attachment clips that Umnitza states?

Caling JLevi or Um Nitza are you guys out there to answer some questions or just to take orders?

you may get faster response if you email them directly?

Will angel eyes fit my 2000? Are the OEM or the predator ones? I have stock xenons HID with amber turn signals. The clear plastic has faded, although I hear that this can be buffed to clear again?

Unfortunately Blue Mountain been there and done that :rolleyes:

Problems with Angel Eyes and PDC/Hazard
 

Hi guys,

I am completely new to X5World, and thinks it's great. I have a question for anyone who knows their stuff. I just installed Predator Chromium Angel Eyes, per installation instructions to the tee, and now (only sometimes) have a problem when my lowbeams come on, either automatically or manually. When they come on, sometimes my hazard lights begin to go on and off, my doors unlock and the interior lights come on. What the hell is goign on? Anyone I can surely use your help. Thanks. I also installed a xenon retrofit kit from Bimmian. Maybe this is the problem? Please advise. Thanks guys.

Do you have OEM projector xenons or did you just add an HID kit to the stock halogen headlights?

I added the xenon kit to my headlights. The oem's were halogen H1 bulbs. I did the xenon kit install consistent with the instructions as well.

whats the xenon kit?
whats the diff between the oem haogen h1 bulbs?!

If you are having the problems described then you may have fried the LKM. I had all sorts of weird problems when my LKM was going out. It's a dealer item only as it needs to be programmed. Dealer should be able to pull the fault codes from the CLUSTER MEMORY. Make sure they know that. My dealer took a week because they were looking in the wrong place. Not a cheap piece of electronics to replace.

Thanks guys. What exactly is the LKM? And, do you know what the cost of replacement will be? I appreciate your help. Now that I've had the lights installed for a couple of days, it seems clear to me that it is NOT my halos, but the xenons, because I only have the problems described (including my doors unlocking and the hazards going off) when my lights come on. Again, if you could describe my issues for me in a little more detail, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Light Kontrol Module. Everything involved with the lights goes throught it. Sound like the non-OEM xenons have a high voltage leak. If you are lucky you will not have fried the LKM. ($600) Check your grounding for the light units.
PM if you need more.

Thanks Zulu. I forgot one thing in addition to the problem I already told you about. My Park Distance Control is "on the fritz" since I installed the lights as well. When on, it sounds a steady beep until it automatically shuts off. Essentially, it is always making a sound when on. Is this part of the same issue you were advising me on previously? Also, regarding your suggestion about the grounding for the lights, where would I find that. There are no wires running into, or out of, the lights that would allow me to ground the unit. Is there something I can do about this, or some suggestions you may have to alleviate this issue? Thanks again.

Have you found the issue
