This has been done already. There was never a good DIY that was posted, but someone on this board has done this.

The angel eyes, they look yellow in the outside pic, but at night, they're white-ish?

Are they confirmed to be LEDs?
AFAIK they are LED's, just like the 5GT AE's are LED's...

Any idea how they are architected? Similar or same with LCI's?

It does looks like it's finally not using one bulb to power both rings.

Congratulations and thanks for the pics. I would say the AW suits the F10 even more than the E60 (although this is obviously very subjective).

Thanks for the excellent and comprehensive pics. I think the car looks very good. With M Tech kit and some aggressive wheels it will look great as the E39 did when dressed up.
