DIY: How to install Angel Eyes and Side Marker Lights

This afternoon Hubs (aka MarcGuyver) installed the LED Angel Eyes lights (headline bulbs) and Smoke White LED bar side marker lights. These lights are simple to installed yourself and it only took less than 30 minutes of time.

Angel Eyes installation on BMW E82 135i:

1. Open the hood and locate the headlight housing cover at the back of the headlight.

 2. Pull down the clip holding the housing and slightly remove the cover. Keep the bottom of the cover in place so that it can be easily put back.

3. Pull out the bulb from the housing. 

4. Replace the stock light bulb with the Angel Eyes light bulb. As you can see, there is a major difference in the size and design of the bulbs. 

5. Before putting the bulb back into the housing, turn on the headlights to ensure the connection works. Next, close the housing and pull the clip up to secure the cover in place.

Here's a side by side comparison. Angel Eyes on the left and stock light bulbs on the right. Angel Eyes lights provide a super bright LED white light compared to the stock lights which look orange.

Smoke White LED Bar Side Markers installation on BMW E82 135i:

1. Remove the side market light by sliding the light toward the front of the car and lifting the back part of the light.

2. Remove the stock side market light from its housing by lifting up on the lock with a screwdriver and twisting the light free.

3. Remove the stock bulb.

4. Attach the new LED connector to the light connector Then plug the light connector into the housing. Turn on the hazard lights to ensure the connection works. Next, put the light back in place by pushing the light toward the front of the car and allow the back of the light to clip in.

 It was hard to photograph the side markers so I took video instead.
