    Gotta love these old BMWs. The E39s have the same issue with the lower headlight bolts being inaccessible, which is why I prefer to take my skid plate off before removing them so the bolts that I will inevitably drop fall to the ground. I’ve tried magnetized screwdrivers, but they’re only strong enough to feign security before dropping the bolts through to the skid plate.

    To add to why its such a pain to pull the assembly's out is because on the bottom towards the outside there is a plastic guide the headlight also uses for stability ( literally just did mine a few minutes ago ) you will want to make sure that goes back in its place. As for the bulb installation, look for the notch in the plastic ring just above the bulb so you can line up the square notch for removal and installation. To make things easier, I used extra long needle nose pliers because I have gigantic hands it was super easy to install!! Great video for all of us pre LCI cars!!

    Now that you've had these in for a while, can you tell if the lights run cooler (temp. wise) and perhaps (fingers crossed) the wiring insulation does not flake off due to the heat produced from the stock bulbs? Am considering putting in LEDs into mine hoping the conversion will significantly reduce temps within the headlight assembly.

  • @E39Source

    @E39Source

    I have not noticed this to be a factor, though they probably do run a few degrees cooler, but not enough to make any real difference. The xenon ballast/bulb and the heat from the engine is going to have this same effect on wiring.

    Lets be brutally honest here...the original "halo's" on a pre LCI E60 M5 are well "piss poor" for want of a more descriptive word. I tried LED upgrades galore but they were still pathetic. In the end i opted to go with LED rings instead of the factory plastic optical ring. 2 new lenses, 4 new LED rings and 3 days worth of work later... Well impressed with the end result.. far better than the originals could ever be..

    They are not very much more visible in broad daylight than the stock bulbs. New BMWs use a very different technology in the halos, that allows them to be so bright. These older headlights are more a glow idea than anything else.

    I would love to know how many f-bombs were dropped during the actual installation of the halo bulb and subsequent connection of it, during the time that the camera was not rolling. I replaced the first one and it was almost impossible to get it in and connected. I have still not been able to get the second one in yet. Whoever came up with the tight location of these lights has hopefully already been fired from BMW. Also, as my car is a 2004 and it is now 2017, all of the small wires inside the housing are brittle (probably from high heat) and exposed in many places, requiring a very tedious job of electrical taping to keep them from shorting out against each other. I imagine that is the reason that both of my Halo bulbs have failed, from all of the bare wires inside the housing. Oh well. Hope you're listening BMW.

    You could in theory remove the ballasts and run halogens, but every time you start the car you'll get warning lights for bulbs being out, since your car is equipped and program with xenon headlights. Replace your bulb for $60 and get another 10 years of light.

    I tried to pull it towards my neighbour's Ferrari and it broke. I forgot to ask him to park it next to mine :(

    What the hell bmw makes it hard to change a damn light smh. Mine blow out and I tell you it's the biggest pain in the asshole to remove and put back.
