I have an 2006 550i. I ordered a BMW E60/M5 LED ANGEL EYES HALO KIT (2004-2007). I trying to figure out if I can wire them as DRL (Daytime Running Lights) and if so, How?

With that said, projector headlights will run you more money. A decent set with all parts used for pre-LCI are about $500+. On top of that, it's not plug and play, so you'll have to get someone that has some electrical knowledge to help splice some wires. Or pay a knowledgeable shop to do it. Then you'll still have to buy aftermarket angel eye bulb. Even after that, you won't have angel eyes that are as bright or look as good as Orions.
As for the install, I do it as well, and have done quite a good amount installs for people down in Socal.
