LED ANGEL EYES - BEWARE
 
Just a warning to any members contemplating purchasing LED Angel Eyes... particularly the Racing Dash Brand. My advice save your money .. the Quality control and build on these is pathetic.. they are worth about $30 .. even then don't expect them to work or perform as expected.. I'm investigating other options but am back to my GP Thunder halogens for now... :(

Thats sad, it's not like you are not paying, you just want what you pay for, but again any angle you look at it from its screwd up.

To tell you the truth i'am not a big fan of touching anything on a stocked up X.

I believe it should be as it comes out of the factory.

Jamesboags,
just for interest sake, could you post a picture showing the location of the angel eyes fixture on the back of the main light unit please.
Reason I ask is I cant believe that there is so much difference to the actual light fitting on our X5 if you have either Halogen or Xenon type lights.

Cheers,
Bozz

I'm experimenting with a setup that will give full power to the H8 Angel eye H8 bulb when the lights are on ... will let you know how I go...The H8 Halogen are far brighter than the leds .

I've seen that guy Camaroos or something like that .. I've been googlin on it thinking it can't be that hard.. the issue is switchin at 3.3 v when the headlights are on which standard relays will not do... but I think a Solid State Relay will...!!!
