How much work is involved in swapping them over?

just a matter of taking off your front bar and head lights 3 or 4 screws I can't remember how much exactly.

I might revise my price as its quite cheap, didn't factor in how much I actually bought the unmitza LEDs for at the time.

ill do a quick diy. please follow step by step

1. slowly pull up the headlight washer tab, hold it and remove the clips on each side. do this for both sides.

2. remove the 4 hex bolts on the top of the bumper plus the 2 hex bolts on each headlights

3. remove the 2 mounting bolts on each side of the bumper.

4. remove all the 8mm bolts on the under side of the bumper.

5. slowly and carefully remove the bumper and place it on the ground.

6. remove the pcd clips and fog lamp clips if you have them.

7. place the front bumper aside.

8. remove 2 hex bolts on the headlight bracket just next to the kidney grill

9. follow previous step for the other side.

10. remove the remaining 3 hex bolts, first one will be directly behind the wheel just on top of the indicator bulb, second one will be on the outside of the headligh and the last and most difficult one is underneath the headlight.

11. this part is fun, wiggle the headlights until they come out of the bracket. driver side should be easier as you can just slide the bracket out because it doesnt have an oil cooler there.

12. dont forget to unclip the headlight connector.

Cool no worries!

Thanks!
By the way, may I ask what causes the clear plastic on the headlight yellow? Moisture?
Will opening the headlight contribute to it eventually?

Ensure you reseal it again with plastic/silicone glue. Don't just reseal with the seal thats already on it. Buy more....

[CYL]

ATT, would you consider interstate swap?
And how much cash adjustment are you after?
Just want to know what options have I got at this stage.
Thanks.

[ATTN]

probably not mate, just rather not post them as it's a PITA for myself

[CYL]

Not a problem.
Tried to pm you but your inbox is full lol

[CYL]

ATTN, did you put your headlight in oven as well? Or use heat gun?
And for re-sealing, just get any silicone from bunnings will do?

I used oven preheated at 180 just monitor 4 5 minutes. if you're uncomfortable use a heat gun and pry open bit more safer with heat gun.

yup with glue from bunnings use plastic rubber glue

it's clear now

heatgun is messy imo. with the oven the glue is evenly heated and you can pry at 2 spots and open them in one swoop.

I found that some rings on the market are in complete round and some aren't.

those advertised as BMW Specific angel eye products are not in full round shape...just like ATTN's one......just wonder why is that? not enough room inside the headlight?

naynay, when you put the full round rings in your headlight, any further modification to get the rings fitted into the headlight?

[naynay]

The one im offering to sell to you are fully circular. the semi circle ones are for cars like the e60 and e46 where the top of the headlight actually cut off so they dont bother to make full circle ones
