PICS of new install - Angel Eyes w/Eyebrows

[mrmpl]

Bought an LED kit from ebay, with 12,000mcd LED's and Blue Halos with pre-wired harness. Very nice kit to retro-fit in my 2000 E39 with HID's. Attaching the Halo's was the most difficult part of this 3 hour upgrade.

Cool Angel eyes! How much did you pay for them? Was installation a real pain? What about wiring and switch?

 

[Tom]

I agree looks great. Thanks for sharing.

Install info...

Cosmos,
Thanks. Cost was about $100 (ebay). Install was a bit trying, but well worth the effort. I wired (tapped) them into the Fog light feed.
Regards,

Does the kit come with installation instructions?
I've heard it's hard to take the headlights apart?
Does it mean the fog lights will have to be on when you turn the angel eyes on?

 

[mrmpl]

Does the kit come with installation instructions?
Yes, but not specifically for the E39.

I've heard it's hard to take the headlights apart?
Don't know, I attached the Halo's without having to do this.

Does it mean the fog lights will have to be on when you turn the angel eyes on?
Yes, in my case, however, you may choose to wire them differently.

Have fun,
mrmpl

mrmpl,

how did you install the angel eyes without removing the lens from the headlights?

 

[mrmpl]

[???1]
Cosmos,
I did remove the lens from the lights, but I did not have to crack the lens open to accomplish the install. Call me if you like and I will share the methods I used to accomplish the project.

Thanks for the offer, mrmpl.
I will think about it, if I decide to purchase it, will definitely check with you on installation.
On ebay, it doesn't state that the kit is for the e39. So does it give a perfect fit anyway?

 

[mrmpl]

Cosmos - Yes, perfect fit, but not a friction fit. Each of the halo's require that they be fastened with epoxy in three spots to ensure secure fit. Just give me a call if and when ready to tackle this project. Worth the effort given the cost of OEM upgrade to 2001+ models.

Thats a lot cheaper than I paid for my Hella's (factory Euro specs clear corners). BTW, I like your air dam and rear apron. What brand are they? I liked your car domain page but I noticed in your interior shot, it's missing a pedal. (Only 2 pedals instead of 3) j/k

 

[mrmpl]

The air dam and apron are Breyton. Purchased from Evosport. Yeah, that 3rd pedal issue is still on my list of mods.

What missing 3rd pedal??? I see all 3 of them there.

[driving2] Hey SoonerE39, I see that you have the Shark Injector and Supersprint muff. How is performance after these mods? I'm looking at these as my next two mods and would appreciate your input.
OT: Stoops to Head Coach Arizona Wildcats! My son played TE for Arizona under the old coach, what a nightmare that was.
