Thank you for the write up JR550i, I was able to do the install without removing the headlights. Inserting the Angelibright part is tricky indeed. On the needed tools you specified, you might want to add a flashlight/torch to have proper illumination of the inside of the headlamp while performing the install

Your welcome As far as the illumination goes I didn't think about it because I did it outdoors in the warm and sunny Southern Cali weather where I didn't need a flashlight

A BIG SHOUT OUT and THANKS for this tip! I just needed to replace the angel eyes bulb. The dealer charged me $101.70 for the first replacement, more than half was labor.

Anyone in the NY metro area done the install this way (i.e. not removing the headlight assembly)? I have to remove my defective V2.0 which I'm VERY PISSED ABOUT to send back to Dave. I installed these with cmansbimmer last year and it was at HUGE PITA to remove and replace the headlights. Trying to avoid doing that again. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Just did AIB v3.0's myself without removing the headlight assembly. Once I got the left one done, the right was a snap. Due to the learning curve, the left took about 40 minutes, the right took 15! I used some longer needle nose pliers as well as some normal pliers. I scratched up the old ones a bit, but who cares (they are real junk). And it was actually very easy to pop the new ones in and give that slight turn to tighten.

For those of you considering taking off your entire headlight assembly, forget it...not necessary. Just remove the radiator cover with a torx 25 bit and a drill to give you more room to move. That part was real easy!

And whalla, all done.

I also did my FOGS today with Hoen lights recommended by C's Bimmer (pics 5 & 6: left OEM, right HOEN). Give a look!

Thanks to all those who gave me advice, like Calton and JRV550i (whose DIY above was great!) and others who posted DIY's in the past!

Some before and after's....
