Hello all, have a 07 550 with xenon, Had the following installed:
GP_Thunder_LED_Upgrade_BMW_Angel_Eyes_JY
Eagle_Eye_LED_Tails_E60_RS1
Everything installed by a BMW expert with no issues..........an hour later, 1st I get a triggered alert message telling me left rear tail light malfunction, then right side........an hour later, another alert malfunction of the left front parking lamp ( the angel eyes are completely out on the left) after staying on for a few minutes
Thoughts anyone?

Those just suck nothing you can REALLY do about it. AiB is coming out pretty soon for the LCI cars. I'd suggest waiting if you want something of quality. I'll add you to the list of people okay?

AiBs are the brightest angel eyes around. They use a fiber optics system to direct the light.

For your pre-LCI car, I would go with a set of the MyCarr ICE Angel Eyes which are LED based, plug and play and do not throw errors.

AiB's IMO are the best look for pre-LCI e60's
