Just had my angel eyes installed, really happy with it.

Got it from ebay for 55 bucks shipped.

really bright.

So bascially, if you have a small hand, you dont need to remove the headlights AT ALL. I actually removed one side of the headlights then find out I can just do it with my hands ( small hand FTW ! ), it just takes time to fit the lights in if the headlights housing is not removed.

no error code, looks good!

doont have pic with me now, will upload it asap !

I also bought mine off of ebay at around the same price. During the day, they are useless. Overall, an upgrade over the halogen crap that comes stock, so I'm ok there. I may look into something more expensive (angelibrights) at some point in the future. Post some pics! Thanks for sharing....

well, why would you want ppl to see the angel eyes during the day time?....

for me , i dont see the point, plus, it looks great at night, thats all I want.

plus, i cannt justify dish out 300 dollars just for two bulbs...

If you're spending money to upgrade them, I would want them visible, no matter what time of day. Angelibright, you get that. Ebay $60 stuff, you don't. I have the latter. But I also don't have DTR's, and prefer to have my angel eyes on, like the LCI E60. I too, cannot yet justify the price, so the ebay upgrade is ok and will have to do. I have it, but you get what you pay for.

Lights look good! Notice that your DRL's aren't on. Do you have them turned off?
Going by your license plate cover (Park Shore Motors), I'm guessing you are in BC, Canada. I'm having a hard time finding someone here who will deactivate my DRL's... I'm in Ontario.

Your car looks great!

Nice job with AE.

Is that a Amethyst Gray you got there? Great looking car dude. You are probably the 5th person I know with this color.

That looks awesome congrats! Got links to the auction and seller? I've been wanting to stimulate the economy (read: buy mods for the e60) but never sure about the quality of ebay products since quality from seller to seller can be highly variable.

Yea, I can't justify spending another 250 just to see them in the day either. I just wanna get rid of the ugly yellow halogen tint.
