Make sure you have some really long long-nose pliers. It will make the job a lot easier.
Otherwise, it become challenging and difficult. This DIY doesn't require headlight removal

I dont know why people keep on saying you need long nose pliers and small hands. my hands are slightly bigger then average with thick fingers and I was able to easily switch out my AE's. Maybe got a scratch or two on my hands that noticed like the next day. Easy install bro just dive in. GL

I have the MTECH angel eyes. I had to remove my whole headlight. It's much easier to install. The MTECH seems to have a hard time being plugged into the socket. I have an attached picture of how it looks at night.

that's because you have an LCI e60...pre-LCI AE's are much different, just take a look at the DIY thread mrfva posted for pre-lci AE's above...compared to LCI AE's removal here.. http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=59157&hl=
