WOW, well i had a little trouble having the angel eyes in position while glues were setting but that was no biggie! :thumbup:
all i have to do now is get some marine sealing silicon job done and place it into my x5 once it gets back from the dealership!
i have to do this somewhat secretly since im grounded from my car :wow:

ps. the service advisor thought that the cluster i had was for 4.4i and tried to replace it because i had the chrome rings on hahaha :p

well not quite actually, my car's still at the dealership

BUT i got my hands on the angel eye kit and new headlights was just delivered today! (along with the Solaris Invisibulbs..)

I'll give you guys an update when I install everything and get it ready for my X when it comes home! :D

Anyone know where I can get them done in the Baltimore area? I've been wanting them since I bought the X, but I definitely don't want to try that myself!!
