I ran accross this website www.cargym.com they sell angel eye upgrades for BMWs and LED tail lights. The angel eye upgrade says its good for any E60 from 2004-2010. Im interested because its only 50 dollars (US).
Does anyone have any experience with this company and would this upgrade really work as they claim?
Thanks

Pay $30-$40 more and you'll get a decent AE upgrade. John (brabusw209amg) is selling AE upgrade for $85 (I think). At least this vendor's product is proven to work well with our cars without any errors.

Here's a link to his AE upgrade...

I have the PIAA ones, not very visible during the day, but none of them are. Only the models 2008+ are daylight visible, unless you go with Luis///OSS angel lights for $600

For $50+, you can get something better off eBay. Really, trust me.
