stock BMW Angel Eye Plug
 

Can anybody help me out with this one!?! My g/f f'ed up the front of my X the other day. The car is at the body shop and needs new head lights. I had aftermarket A.E.'s installed but the shop wont installed aftermarket A.E.'s so i want them to find a set of lights with OEM AE's. They are saying that the whole electrical plug is different, and the ballest is totally different , and i believe that is not correct. If i remember right there is a seperate plug for the AE (coming from a seperate AE ballest) and all the other plugs and ballests for the rest of the lights are the same. Can anybody confirm this. Pictures would rock! [email protected] is my e-mail! Also if somebody has a set of factory headlights they want to sell i would buy them up! Ballests would be a plus. 01 4.4i

what year is your X?

sorry its an 01

01. then you have an seperate plug and ballas for AE,and the guy at the shop is right,its totally different electrical system.All you need id take a look at the AE ballas and light bulb and buy new light bulb to replace it.
(remember you have to open up the head light to install new AE ring)

ya so if i have a seperate plug for the AE's then are the other plugs the same? what do i need a new bulb for? sorry little confused

well for the plugs it maybe diffrerent from the brand that you had.( for the new buld /ring I mean is your AE ring still good or it tatolly toasted with your head light? if it still good then you dont need new one, just buy new head lght and swap it)

no everything got smashed. Thats why i want to get the stock BMW headlight with the AE option.

here is some head lights

01--03 stock head lghts doesn't come stock with AE.
you may go with customsangeleye or go stock and install new AE.

Did 01's come with stock AE's? I feel you on the gf's wrecking cars....It drives me crazy...

You will not be able to get stock AE's for an 01.........unless you find some XENON upgrade type that came in an 01' or 02'.....Then you have to do a headlight bake and then open them bad boys up, gut them out and install all the goods.....................it would be so much more easy if you got the customangeleyes.com set up or the projector 53's .......you would just then need to make some minor wiring adjustments so everything would fit and get some resisitors to cancel any errors. That is common when you go from halogen to xenon and Angel eye upgrade....

If they are only going to get you oem...you must find the xenon upgrade that came in the 01' or 02' sport.......Find Zerochief here on the board and look at what he did, that is what you will have to do.....

I hope this helps!
