Default Adding Angel Eyes to my 525i?

I'm really not a car person but I'm going to try to keep this simple.

What parts will I need to achieve this? I look for bulbs on eBay but I see so many different types of lights and they all look and have different connectors.

It's a 2004 525i.

My current lights (photo taken today):

if you search e60 angeleyes you should come up with a ton of bulbs that will work. Just make sure you get the Pre-LCI ones.

I find Ebay to be pretty sketchy... Stick with a reputable company like one I've used in the past and had great customer service with...

you can get a set of drop-in LED bulbs for between $50 - $70. They are not bright at all during daylight hours, but they look very nice once the sun starts to set

I got mine from ECS Tuning, any of the forum sponsors like Trinity offers them as well. no mods are required, they simply replace the stock halogen corona ring bulb.

I went ahead and dropped $41 on these

High amount of sales, 6000K should be a very nice bright white which will go well with my Xenons.

Make sure you get the right bulb. Your '04 uses a different halo ring bulb than an LCI car (2008+). Not all E60 headlights are the same.

Dammit.

They already shipped that order so I will have to just make it return to sender.

I went ahead and ordered THIS and it seems 100% compatible.
