do they match the headlights (not angeleyes) well

Headlights are 4300K. 6500K is a nice soft blue tint. Still good light output. But congrats on the install, quite a few of us were waiting for someone to try it first. So the adaptive headlights work the same right ? I'd only be worried about the ballasts frying out fast due to them being on and off all the time, I supposed you can just turn the foglights on instead to prevent that. Keep us filled in on how wel they perform. Thanks

Do you have to take the whole bumper assembly off just to change out the fog light bulbs? I have recently bought some LED fog lights and looking for the easy way to just unplug old lights and connect the new ones in.

Any help would be very appreciated.

Nice write up. :thumbup:

I am in process of replacing the whole fog light assembly. Waiting for the new part to arrive in a couple of days. As of now, I have managed to take the whole assembly out. Regarding your question, no, you do not need to remove the whole bumper. Once you take out the front cover (i.e., 1st step of the process), you will be able to use your hand to go in to touch the assembly. In my case, I took out two torx head screws and loosen the whole assembly to come out. I didn't know the location of the screws at first but now I found it. In your case, I see from another post that you can just take the bulb out (without loosing the torx screws, by turning the bulb clockwise). Try to see if it works.

I have the same kit installed in my X5, do you know that those resistors can get really hot? I did not use any tight wraps, since they can be melted by the heat, instead I use the stainless hose connectors, you can purchase this at you home depot.

So how do you fix the fault code? Did u manually splice the resistor in?
