Stock Angel Eye question(Pre-lci E90)
Is there a guide on installing these things? I have the bulb from my Stealership but have NO idea how to pop this thing in. Any help?

Basically it's a huge pain. You have to go in through the wheel well, so you can optionally jack up your car and take off your wheel. I have relatively small hands so I elected not to, but I had to use a handheld mirror and flashlight to be able to see shit. First step (after taking off the wheel, if you're going to) is to take off the mud guard, there are like 8-10 nuts to take off. Once that's done with you want to find the angel eye bulb cover, it's the unlabeled thing right in the center of the image. It's held on by these 2 clips on the top and bottom, the top one you can't even see it's so far in there. You want to take 2 flat-head screwdrivers and pry both at the same time to pop the cover off. If you manage to get that far, you'll be looking at the bulb itself. Unplug the leads, and unscrew the Torx screws on either side of the bulb holding it into the bracket. From there you should be good, just swap in the new bulb and reverse everything.

Do you have a part number for the bulb? Or the specs of the angel eye bulb for the pre-lci E90 so I can pick one up from an auto parts store. My passenger side burnt out and I need to replace asap.
