Title: ? about angel eyes 07 ix
Post by: Geoff on March 10, 2012, 08:42:39 AM

totally off topic,  an aqaintance needs to replace the angel eyes in the aforementioned 07 5  series.   the stealer told him 60 bucks per light and "they might have to dismantle the entire bumper"  hmmm
anyway I dont want to offer to do it, unless its a doddle ..I got enough to do.   seems like aftermarket prices are about 30 bucks for the light but I havent seen ahow to on his car..anybody know?

Just changed out two the other day. I went in through the wheel well. Remove a few 8mm screws and pull back the plastic fender liner.

hmmm again...just watched a video where they show the whole enclosure being removed via the engine compartment.   its held in by 4 torx screws,  then lifts right out.
       anyhow, it looks like my brother volunteered to do it,  so....no worries here;)
