Angel Eye Headlight Upgrade // BMW E90

[@chriszachmo]

Just bought a pair of these for my 2006 325i. I'm also going to replace my fog lights and respray the mesh grills. This video should help a lot. Thanks for uploading it.

[@JDCarsChannel]

Sweet! Your Welcome!

[@ctremp]

these headlights couldn’t be found from the link in the discription

@Alec Rayan Cease

[@eaglei_trade]

I just found your channel and I want to say, I f-in love it. Keep it up

[@JDCarsChannel]

Thanks hahaha!

[@Bmwguy2011]

This is the first last and only video I've seen that adequately explains ALL of the steps. To us less mechanical people, taking a BMW apart is scary. You've emboldened me to try this repair. Thanks. Jon btw, just to confirm: you started with halogen oem's and ended up with halogens? They just have the halo and black appearance? With... maybe a more white bulb vs ugly yellow (like mine)?

[@JDCarsChannel]

Thank you very much, I appreciate. Correct...but I upgraded the bulbs. They are a white bulb now.

[@Sharas95]

Hey! Awesome headlights. I have buyed the same kind! And i have a question. My Bmw is born with adaptive xenon headlights. And my aftermarket have an extra cap with wiring to replace that cap Where you adjust manual High of lights. Do you know if its possible to connect adaptive level cap with wires and how Can it be done?

[@fr0sty1998]

Hey bro do you maybe know or remember how to adjust these headlights. I really like the looks of them but cant find a way to adjust them. I had led's in them now installed 6000k HID kit and cant find a way to adjust them properly. Only screw i found was left and right adjustment. Nevermind i just realised that i got one's with adaptive cover im missing that screw that you have.

[@StarrBwoyyMusic]

I just bought 335xi, i love your DIY keep up the good work

[@JDCarsChannel]

StarrBwoyy Music Sweet car, and thanks man!

[@mediatalwaar3876]

I have the same headlights, could you please advise how to change the halo bulbs

[@rubensalcedo809]

What headlights are you running now ? I just bought these exact headlights from the video

[@Naviguesser20]

how did you have euro spec gem headlights with the frost side markers and not amber?

[@benjamin07420]

Need to know

[@barryclyde6809]

Thank you for this. I followed your video step by step this morning. Worked out really well 👍🏻

[@krh007]

I have a 2006 3201 E90 2ltr N46. This came with standard basic H7 globe headlights with no halo rings . I just installed a set of Angel Eye headights made in Taiwan and appears good quality (i live in Australia) and they work fine and totally transform the look of the car (body colour dark blue). Except for the halo circles to work you have manually tap into the factory wiring and the instructions say this and i can only assume so you operate the halo's as day lights which would require finding an active source when the ignition is turned on - but i know how sensitive the BMW's are to external non factory wiring if detecting any additional load Or are these halo rings only supposed to operate at night when the headlights lights are on? If so then that makes tapping into the headlight wiring at the plug much easier

[@djalecs2790]

I have the same lights and today on one headlight i found that a ring is not working. Do the burn or is the canbus adaptor? Any ideeas?

[@mianreece]

How old are you dude? You're rlly talented with this stuff. Where did you learn to do all this and aren't you afraid of messing something up?

[@JDCarsChannel]

Mia Nichole Thank you...I'm 16! I'm self taught, and I love working on almost anything mechanical. I've been working on engines since I was 13...Something just clicks in my head when it comes to this kind of stuff!

[@glassdefjaw1]

I want to change my headlights. These are pretty awesome looking. Went to a guy today to initially only get the plastic changed because water would get in one of them then be all foggy for a while and wet, anyway he told me I should just change the whole headlight Idk if he's bullshitting me or not but he said order some online and he can install them

[@JDCarsChannel]

No he's right. I would 100% get new headlights instead of just the plastic.

[@stevenslaven2713]

Hi dude they look easy to install love the vid would they be alright on my 55 plate 320d

[@JDCarsChannel]

Steven Slaven Thanks, and yeah they should fit great on there

[@georgecarciumaru5395]

Verry nice video ! Keep it up! I have a question and i hope that will not happend to you : if a led ring burn out , how can you replace it ? that involves opening the headlight ??

[@JDCarsChannel]

Thanks! I'm not sure, but I think you're correct.

[@stevehouston9793]

What year is your car ?

[@MegaMrstfu]

Are these more brighter than the stock halogen lights do they light up further cheers mate

[@JDCarsChannel]

I'd say they are brighter. I love them!

[@mohammedalkharabsheh7190]

It the only one that has a straight forward video about this I fucking love u bro thank you so much I just bought an e90 and can’t wait till I get some new headlights

[@ermilolopez8606]

I have a 2009 328i and wanted to know if these same lights from the eBay link will fit my 2009? I notice the year goes up to 2008 only

[@mrm3686]

Hey bro are these Halo angel eye led replaceable? If they were to give out ?

[@rpgfailure99]

Hi, I was wondering can you post like a tool list of what you used for this angel eye headlight upgrade? Btw, thanks a bunch, what you are doing is quite cool, and super helpful.

[@JDCarsChannel]

rpgfailure99 Hey, all I really used was the 8mm socket and the T30 torx screwdriver! Thanks for the support!

[@royer2323]

Do you have a link for Amazon to replace the angel light to bright white led? I have a 2011 BMW 328i with stock halogens and I'm confused about which lights to get. All the ones I see on Amazon description are all for stock xenon replacements only.

[@JDCarsChannel]

Yes the links are in my headlight bulb upgrade vids!

[@monikavalenta8942]

I have a question, hopefully you know the answer. I drive a 320i 2013 and I wanted to buy the angel eye lights but I need to know if I would need to buy a whole new headlight or can I just buy the lights? Please let me know!! Thanks!

[@JDCarsChannel]

This method involves entire new headlights.

[@PrazeTV]

I got LUX H8 180’s for my LCI e90 and the outer ring is no where near as bright as yours. How did you get it so bright?

[@JDCarsChannel]

These are a whole new headlight.. not bulbs

[@125jesusfreak]

What if you did have adaptive headlights? Would that kit retain their adaptivity or would they be simply straight shining beams after using this kit?

[@JDCarsChannel]

I am not sure to be honest.

[@ccbloodcc2]

this video is going to be soooo helpful, i get my headlights in one week from now :)

[@JDCarsChannel]

Awesome!

[@ccbloodcc2]

JD Cars this stuff is wayyyy harder than you make it look... I have a 2011 328xi and let's just say I'm 4hrs in

[@JDCarsChannel]

hahaha oh boy

[@ccbloodcc2]

JD Cars did yours come with a wire harness and adapter for the angel eyes?

[@danielmedina5406]

Currently out of stock, any others u recommend?

[@JDCarsChannel]

I don't have any other specific recommendations at the moment...

[@danielmedina5406]

JD Cars oh ok thanks anyways

[@ccbloodcc2]

what year is it, theres 09-12 and 06-08 in stalk on Ebay for the E90's

[@Bmwguy2011]

I'm scared to get an error code. So... I'm keeping mine oem halogen ugly yellow and will upgrade light bulbs...any suggestion as to which light bulbs are best?

[@JDCarsChannel]

No error codes!! Check out my bulb upgrade videos

[@derekgharris]

Nice bro, very helpful as I'm planning to do the same to my 2010 328i(base sedan). I don't remember seeing you do the weather strip though. Also l have question. Every set of aftermarket headlights I have ever seen has had an issue with condensation inside the lens especially after rain or in cold weather. How are yours holding up in that regard? Also can you upgrade to an H.I.D. set up with the DRL's and headlights?

[@JDCarsChannel]

Mine did eventually leak and I had to replace them. You can upgrade them, however. I would recommend VIPMotoz headlights

[@skotsephrenia1]

Hey bro..... How's the light projection of ur new headlights at night? Does it becomes more brighter than the OEM ones or was it only good for the looks? Cuz I've tried several aftermarket HL and nothing yet could beat the OEM ones...

[@JDCarsChannel]

Unfortunately these headlights are discontinued

[@Xyzxyzxyzxyzo]

Your channel is the best one I've found so far so hopefully I can get some feedback. I just bought some headlights RGB COLOR LED PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS for my 2010 328i. Bmw. My mechanic says he doesn't know how to install them but i want them so bad. Would you have any tips as to how to install these?

[@ProfessorKen]

Does the adaptive headlight error code pop up on your dashboard computer?

[@JDCarsChannel]

Nope!

[@lavoz1858]

Hi I did the same thing on my e90 look super cool but I get CC-ID 295 code don't know what to do

[@JDCarsChannel]

Huh...try clearing it with a code reader?

[@V3racRS]

I have a 2007 323i which I think is equivalent to a 325? Will any angel eye headlights be compatible with that model?

[@JDCarsChannel]

It should... as long as thats a sedan.

[@markinzmrk]

Le lien des phares ne fonctionne pas Possible d’avoir le bon lien à nouveaux ?

[@richardpascual798]

How did you adjust the direction of the headlights? Did you find they pointed in different directions?

[@JDCarsChannel]

There is a screw on the back of the headlight housing to adjust the direction of the bulb.

[@moneyfan18]

Not sure about the part you stuck headlight which is the resistor, not sure if its the same as HID resistors on my E90 but they look very alike they get VERY hot and would easily melt that plastic usually they are meant to mount on a bracket separate from plastic! Just a heads up!

[@JDCarsChannel]

Thats a good point, thanks for letting me know! I did notice after testing them they did get a little warm, but not so hot that its of concern. I should look into a more sturdy mount though!

[@moneyfan18]

No problem man! I had some CCFL headlights for my E90 but one side the rings failed so swapped back to stock ones looking at these ones you have give the car an amazing look but are they bright at night? As could you upload a pic somewhere with shots of the headlights? But that part not sure how hot it gets for the rings but for HIDs to avoid the bulb error they get very hot and I used an old hid bracket to mount them. As for getting Hids, look on amazon for Kensun I have them they are amazing never had a problem! Your going to want a wiring harness with it and avoid the canceler things the harness does the job. Heres a link! www.amazon.com/Kensun-Conversion-Universal-Single-Harness/dp/B00FP0G5EK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1487464874&sr=8-1&keywords=h11+wiring+harness+kensun If you have any questions about wiring them or tips ask away!

[@JDCarsChannel]

moneyfan18 the halo rings don't produce a ton of light, but a decent amount. The low beams and high beams both work great and are very bright! Thank you for the bulb recommendation, but unfortunately I just ordered some new bulbs yesterday! I'll be doing a video on the installation soon.

[@moneyfan18]

My CCFL ones I had produced a lot of light and were very visible, are these just halos or leds or what? Wanting to get them but not wanting to get them if the rings are weak.

[@JDCarsChannel]

moneyfan18 moneyfan18 the rings definitely aren't weak, they are bright and look awesome. However the rings are for looks, and your low beams/high beams were made to actually illuminate the road.

[@wonderboy8457]

Hey when you did this did you also change your fog lights to match the headlights as well?

[@JDCarsChannel]

Yes - check out my fog light video

[@DirtyGarageTx]

Is there a link to headlights ? The link u provided doesn’t work

[@junior2471]

Can you change your halo light bulbs with these headlights?

[@JDCarsChannel]

No you cannot

[@adrianman3618]

Is there any rewiring needed or are they just plug and play. I was told that the Angel eye are activated by disconnecting side lights and reconnecting to the the angel eye?

[@JDCarsChannel]

Adrian Man Nope! Plug and play! I highly recommend these headlights, they are awesome. Please subscribe, thanks!

[@juliusfarkas4858]

hey i just got these shipped to me do you know if i install them without modifying them at all will the halo's still light up? I've heard several stories of aftermarket headlights not having the halo's lit up. i just wanted to hear from you because i got these exact ones

[@JDCarsChannel]

I had zero issues with the halos lighting up... but I will probably be getting new headlights soon.

[@oscarcampos2018]

How are the headlights working? I ordered some similar ones and read on the reviews that moisture gets in. have you had that problem?

[@JDCarsChannel]

oscar campos They've been holding up very well - haven't had that issue yet!

[@mlif3813]

How's your grill with m colors you drive a base 328i lol

[@RossCanpolat]

Can you still adjust the beam hight from inside the car with the little scroll wheel? Do these lamps move up and down with the scroll wheel like the stock ones?

[@JDCarsChannel]

No, they do not.

[@zainekhan7213]

@@JDCarsChannel is there a way to install a motor to make it happen? I've just bought a set of these. Also what is the output like at night and is the beam pattern sharp?

[@livinglou7140]

I had a mechanic install these same headlights into my BMW. The angle eyes don't light up on either side! Any idea why this might be? Thanks!

[@JDCarsChannel]

Sounds like a wiring issue with the harness... they may need to be wired in.

[@mrsaugustus6086]

I just completed my Halo headlight upgrade, in addition to the M3 style front bumper, and new gas and brake pedals!! My car is finally coming together. Taking baby steps but $2500 bucks for a diamond in the ruff was a steal for the car; couldn't pass it up!😎 I can't wait until she's complete.

[@JDCarsChannel]

Congrats! Sounds awesome!

[@IntelliGence1990]

Hi, I want those headlights too! but i'm wondering which kind of bulbs are inside for the high and low beam? i have an lci e90 and those headlights are more expensive 😳 nice vid!

[@JDCarsChannel]

They come stock with a halogen bulb...I'm upgrading them to bright white HID bulbs.

[@toranobrien7696]

hey man, so i got the inspiration to purchase these headlights from this video and my drivers side high beam angel eye is no longer functioning, do you have any tips for me to diagnose and possibly fix the problem? if not it might be for buying the rolling gear ones.

[@JDCarsChannel]

Check all of the connections.

[@mitchellshanetodd9694]

Currently have adaptive headlights on my BMW 328xi, and have an error with one, and the cost of replacing is like 1700. My question is can I replace both with new Non-adaptive headlights and not get an error message?

[@JDCarsChannel]

You should be able to! I have not had a single error message.

[@mitchellshanetodd9694]

JD Cars Okay I ordered the DRL Halo projector Headlights chrome. I had them installed today and I am still getting the adaptive headlight error. Also the brights will not work the car shows them on but they are not light. However when pulling back on the blinker the brights will flash. Any suggestions as to what I may have missed or need to do? Thanks

[@Tyson_mcnuggets]

Hey man, how do you adjust the headlights to aim them right on the e90? Just bought these halos

[@JDCarsChannel]

There is a long screw coming off the back of the low beam, this is how you adjust them.

[@Sybreeds]

These are the color temperature I've been looking for but people say it's the 6k that gives out this temperature which is BS because mine have a blue-ish tint, and these have a white with a hint of violet.

[@JDCarsChannel]

Correct, that is an accurate assessment!

[@salmanomar97]

When HIDs are first fired up, they take about 20 hours to break in and then you'll see the true color. Mine did the same.

[@jirasama6538]

hey man, just a question, might sound very dumb but yeah whatever. So, I have the headlights without the angel eyes, if I would upgrade my headlights, how can I turn on the angel eyes? I searched on the internet how you enable the angel eyes on e90 so I came on a video where you have this thing called key memory and I you have to enable day time running lights but don't have that. My car is an e90 from 2005. I know you don't have the e90 anymore but would be great if you would answer my question, I won't buy new headlights if I can't turn it on... obviously.

[@JDCarsChannel]

When installing aftermarket angel eyes, they are usually always powered on because most systems run the angel eyes on a constant (ignition) power source. I'm sorry to say I'm not terribly familiar with the coding side.
