change the new bulbs in and then push it back into the slot.
when putting it back in, bend down and you will see a slot in the middle of the light and the bulb holder will pop in.
make shore you hear a pop sound then it is fulling in and will not drop out.

Thanks for the pics and instructions. So, if I'm reading this right, this is to change out the yellowish look of the angel eyes to brighter white? And did you say that this will not work with a car that has the xenon lights? I have a 2006 550i with xenon lights and I just changed out my foglights to better match the headlights, but now I just want to "fix" the yellowish angel eyes and make them brighter. Please pm me the cost if the fix. I am at 20147 in the US.

The Non-Xenon headlights have a different bulb for their Angeleyes.

since you have the Xenon Headlights, your options are either Umnitza Angel Eyes or AngeliBright upgrade.


There are plenty of topics and posts about these products, you can find them on the forum or search on the internet.


Good luck.
