LED Angel Eye Kit Installation InstructionsNOTE: This kit may be used on the HID or standard headlight systems. However these instructions are written specifically forthe standard facelift headlights. The installation on HID headlight will be similar.Pre-facelift (98-01) the headlamps can be left in the car and the front glass can be unclipped and removed. Drivers and passenger sides may differ depending if your car if left or right hand drive.

E36, E38 and E39 installation will be very similar.

PROCEDURE:1. Open the bonnet and prepare to remove the headlights and Indicators.

2. Remove the indicators by the following procedures:

All except 2002 on 4-door, and 3/2003 on 2-door models:A) Note the small oval shaped hole in the inner fender edge, just a few inches to the rear of the front edge (see figure 1). Insert along screwdriver (flat or phillips does not matter) into the access hole. The screwdriver must reach into the hole at least 3".Angle the tip of the screwdriver toward the inside of the vehicle and gently push down on the tip of the parking light securingtab (see Figure 2). At the same time, push the tip of the screwdriver toward the front on the vehicle in order to push the lightassembly forward so it can be pulled out (see Figure 3).B) Remove the harness plug from the bulb holder socket at the back of the parking light assembly

2002 on 4-door:A) Note the small hole in the inner fender edge, just a few inches to the rear of the front edge (the hole may be covered by ablack plastic plug). Insert a long phillips screwdriver into the access hole. The screwdriver must reach into the hole at least 3".Engage the screwdriver with the phillips retaining screw and loosen the screw a few turns (see Figure 4). Pull the parking lightlens forward.B) Remove the harness plug from the bulb holder socket at the back of the parking light assembly.

3. Remove the headlight assemblies by the following procedures:

A) Remove the four 8mm hex screws securing the headlight assembly into the vehicle (see Figure 5 for screw locations).B) Gently pull the headlight assembly forward. Unplug the headlight bulb harness connectors. The lower painted trim is attachedto the headlight and has a snap clip securing it to the fender at its outer end. Use a screwdriver to release the snap clip, thenpull the complete headlight assembly from the vehicle (see Figure 6).

4. Remove the painted trim strip from the headlight assembly by releasing the clips along the lower edge and at the inboard end (seeFigure 7).

5. Remove the headlight outer lens cover by releasing the upper and lower snap clips and pulling the cover from the housing (seeFigure 8).

6. Unsnap and remove the plastic headlight bezel trim (see Figure 9).

7. Disconnect the two Angel Eye light harnesses8. Pull back the rubber boot at the back of the headlight assembly and insert the Angel Eye ring’s wires through the front of the headlight assembly at the top of the reflector (see Figure 10) and out the rear of the headlight bucket, past the rear rubber seal (see Figure 11).

9. Clip the Angel Eye rings onto the top edges of the chrome reflector housing (see Figures 12 & 13).

10. Plug the Angel Eye connectors, for both the high and low beams, into the wiring harness (See Figure 14 onwards for wiring)

11. Install the plastic bezel trim and the clear outer lens.

12. Attach the upper seal trim and the painted trim strip to the headlight assembly.

13. Install the headlights into the vehicle while carefully guiding the wires into the engine compartment.

14. You have various options on how your Angel Eyes will function. You can choose to have the Angel Eyes turn on whenever the engine is running (key in “run” position), when the headlights are on or when the parking lights and headlights are on

Wiring upa) Lay the wire harness on top of the engine bay. The relay should be near the passenger side

positive (+) battery terminal. See image below for the correct positive terminal. The shorter end of the harness coming from the relay wire should follow the passenger fender to the passenger headlight. The longer end should go across the engine to the driver's side fender towards the driver's side headlight.

b) Ground the relay. Use a 10mm socket to remove the 10mm nut located in the passenger power terminal area. Mount your relay and ground here. The ground wire is the short black wire coming out of the relay with a ring terminal at the end of it. See Figure 15

c) Route the short harness to the passenger side headlight. If you lift the weather stripping from the passenger side power terminal area, you can slide the harness under the factory harness bundle then route it down the passenger fender to the passenger headlight.

d) Connect the harness to the rings wires you have just fed through the rear of the headlighte) Route the long harness across the top of the engine and secure it over the OEM wire holder

See figure 16f) You are now ready to test your Angel Eyes. Coming off the relay should be a second trigger

wire that is White. Have someone touch the white wire to the positive terminal or use a clamp then examine if your Angel Eyes work. If all is good, remove the white wire from the positive terminal.

16. Trigger wire installation

Option 1a) Note: The Accessories wire method is one of many ways to wire the Angel Eyes. This method

will allow you to have the Angel Eyes on all the time whenever the car is running. This is independent of whether your headlights/parking lights are on or off. When you turn off your car, the Angel Eyes will stay on for a few seconds since there is still power through the accessories wire. This will not cause any power drain issues as the Angel Eyes do not draw a lot of power.

b) Open the cover to the ECU box using a Torx 25 bit to remove four Torx head screws. (Note: Some earlier cars might be HEX 27). Once the screws are removed, tilt the cover up and pull out. (See figure 17)

c) Locate the red wire with white stripe and yellow/gold tracers. Install a wire tap using your pliers. DO NOT cut any wires or yank on any wires. (See figure 18)

d) Route the white trigger wire into the ECU box and connect the end to the wire tap. You can lift one of the rubber grommets and lay the white trigger wire under. You can fish it through the grommet if you like for a more professional look.

e) Test the Angel Eyes by turning your ignition to position 2. If your Angel Eyes light up then you are good to go and you can begin cleaning up the loose ends.

f) Reinstall the ECU box cover at this point if your Angel Eyes are working okg) Tape the 2nd Trigger wire. If you are not using the second trigger wire (wire closest to relay),

you should tape it using electrical tape and tuck it away. Make sure to tape up the connector end so that it doesn't accidentally get in contact with the frame of the car.

Option 2a) Use the Yellow trigger wire instead of the white. Take the yellow wire through the rubber

grommet (Figure 14) and crimp using a scotch lock to the power wire in the fuse board for the parking lights. Or you can run the wire back down to where the parking lights are and crimp onto the power wire nearer to the bulb.

b) You should then be able to turn the angel eyes on using the headlight switch. However if the sidelight bulbs are removed this may cause a warning light on the dashboard.
