Ok So I would like to thank member brabusw209amg for the parts 
, Well theres a story to this one, I tried changing the angels without taking off the headlight first which took about a good Half hour, couldn't do it 
after than i finally gave up about after an hour and just got the tools to take apart the headlights from the car. I lost one screw from each headlight, the inner screw that helps for extra security. Should i be worried that they fell? I mean i put them back together and nothing budges and it seems pretty sturdy. Okay.... i took apart the headlights and got so scared because I couldn't put it back together correctly lol at first i was like this 
Then 
because i was so upset that i might have to garage my car and not use it that night lol but i calmed down and got it together with the lost screw. I alway thought that the E60's can only be touched by dealers because of all the high tec stuff and computer sensors and what not. that's why I was pretty scared but everyone on the boards seems pretty ok with it so i got over the fear and got it back together and they look great =) The LED for the License plate was easy 5 mins, I did it during my lunch break at the office 
but the angels eye took me i would say a good 3 hours all together to figure out how to reassembly everything but now i think I'm pretty confident in taking apart everything, I actually have to take apart my left assembly to make sure the plug for my angels are inserted correctly because i just pushed it in on the left a little but for the right it like snapped in and was way more movement like 1/2 inch in while for the left i only pushed it in probably 1/4 enough to hold it there but i don't feel comfortable leaving it like that.... well that was long but enjoy! The lights look leveled i took one shot of the care with the xenon's on and they look right on the money 
Now I'm Waiting for AKAlius for his decals for the front Headlight

that means you can replace the angel eyes bulbs without removing the headlights by removing the radiator plate?
u could but ur hand may be EFFed up afterwards since it's so tight. I'd rather take the plate off. It might even save you a few minutes for doing that extra step.
