Hey guys,

This particular thing is driving me nuts. I've searched the internet over twice already and can't find a solution. I've got a 2007 530i LCI with halogen and I'm trying to get the correct angel eyes for them. This is the stock bulb and connection that the car comes with:



After being assured from the staff at Bimmian that the WeissLicht ones would fit I bought a pair, costing my just shy of $200 including delivery to Australia. Note that after I emailed their staff about my issue they have removed the option for the LCI Halogen version.

So I received my bulb and the power plug fits however there is one big problem, they don't sit in the housing!

WeissLicht:

So now I'm $200 down (trying to get a return with Bimmian, lets hope that goes smoothly) and I still don't have my Angel Eyes! What other options do I have? Colour wise I don't mind anything up to 6000k although I would prefer 4300k or 4000k to match my other lights (they are Philips BlueVision 4000k). Any vendors here or anybody at all can help? Or even a replacement halogen bulb I don't mind.

 

I think LCI is MY08 and up

 

Jaa ... in US ...

 

Yeah USA didn't get LCI until 2008, however in Australia we got it in 2007

 

cut your factory angel eye bulb, shove the replacement angel eye in there, and secure it. then put it in. DONE!

 

I Also Have This Set Up In My Car And Has Been Annoying me Since Day One I Dont Fancy Cutting My Light Surely Someone Must Do Something ,

 

u r cutting away you REPLACEABLE OEM lights. Don't worry. It;'s a USD$15 piece.

 

This is exactly the swap I tried last week. Had to take the LEDs back as the long fitting can not work in the 2007- Lci headlamp unit as far as I can tell. The problem is I then bought the normal small halogen bulbs and the originals do not come out easily from the BMW fitted reflector unit! Has someone found a solution to this?

conclusion - don't buy these nice looking LEDs for a 2007- Lci 5 series!

 

So glad I do my research by habit. I have a US 2006 e60 and was looking at these same replacements.....


So is there a way these will fit ?
If not, what bulbs will fit to brighten up the halos ?
Do you have to remove lights to get to them? (Pics ?)
Looking under my hood there's no way to just reach in and change from the top.....

 

we sell those angel eye bulbs for pre-LCI xenon headlamps. plug and play and DIY is on the forums made by myself to remove headlight.
