I just got a sharp flat bladed screwdriver and chipped away the melted bit on the outside of the "waffle" pattern bit and pulled apart quite forcefully. I haven't snapped mine and as I only chipped a little bit away, they have a nice tight fit when pushed back together again. The file is required because (on my car) the original bulbs have the lugs at 180 degrees from each other and the bulbs have lugs at 240 degrees so dont fit straight in. I had to file one of the lugs down but not too much so that the bulb isn't loose in the holder. The LED bulbs arrived today but its too snowy to go out and fit them. I'll keep all posted.

I just order from powerbulbs H6W, no shippingcoust nice !!. I have 6000K on lowbeam and have just install HID xenon 5000K on highbeam and the angeleys seem little to "yellow" know. So I hope the blue bulbs give a little better look "in the eyes". http://www.autopower.se/galleriet/blogg.asp?bil=40895

Hi does anyone know where i can get a set of replacement bulbs for mine.
My whole left side has gone out had one one the rings working on that side then the other went out the day. Mine is a 98 525 TDS e39. Really need it replaced and been looking everywhere for these. |

Hi Cambell
I like both ways,the lights looks perfect. The other thing is that side lights doesnt have to be so bright.Unless you just wanted a white color insted of yellow. For example i choose a blue one for my car (ccfl) they are maybe not so bright during day but at night looks nice.And its something different.Did you read an article about headlights with angel eyes in different colors?Like red,blue etc.Something that BMW is going to sell as originals. The only one thing is i had a warning light on all the time and i dont know if i should fit them again.(i bought a new car,i will post some pics later this week) |

Hi again guys, Thanks Ian and Pitsy, I've ordered a set of those LED bulbs to try, I was looking for that in Haflords but couldn't see them. I actually went to Malpin and bought the components to make my own, you just need high intensity LEDs and aproximately 1k ohm resistor per side but it was way too fiddly to get the LEDs in the correct position so reflecter comes into play. I'll post up the pics when the LEDs come. Aly, the CCFL's look great, I fitted them to Issys E46 coupe this year aswell. |

LED's are good - except as they draw significantly less current to normal filiment bulbs they confuse the computer into thinking the light isn't working, so producing an error warning. Can be sorted with a resistor or two - there is a thread on here somewhere about it. |

Hi Ian, They are replacement headlights that I installed earlier this year, as I opted for the OEM Hella units, I have full functions, adjusters, self levelling etc. |

I recon it was just the camera not coping with the different light intensity, as you'll know the rings are purely reflective and haven't been changed at all, just the bulbs. |
