BMW E91 335d Angel Eyes - please help !

Hi !

I bought on Ebay the white LEDs for my Angel Eyes on my BMW 335d touring.
Could anyone help me and tell me how to change them ?
Do I have to remove the lamp out from the car ? I couldn't find the 2 screws of the lamp, which are fixing the lamp from downside. Do I have to remove the bumper ?
Best regards
M.

If its anything like the E90, you have to jack up the front of the car. Take off the wheel well trim on both sides (about 10 bolts on each side, mostly 8mm and one 10mm) and you should be able to reach the angel eye assemblies from under there. You may have to move the steering from (right) lock to (left) lock to make things easier. There will be a plastic cover protecting the assembly. You need to use a flat screwdriver to release the clips (the top one is the hardest) and pull it off. Then you will see the two screws that you need to remove in order to pull the bulb casing off.

thanks for the instructions. So it seems to be a long work to change the LEDs and not a typical Plug & Play
Did I buy the right LEDs on Ebay ? Because in my opinion they look different from those on the pictures you send me ? hmmmm, the seller had few thousands positive opinions, so I trusted him, that he sent me the right ones....

Those bulbs look different- like those on an E60 rather than the E9x.

for an e92 you would be looking at a bulb that projects 360 degrees. I think the E90 is one direction but that does not look like the stem they use. You should have looked into the bulb section to see which bulb your car uses.

I tell you, I am so angry, the sellers have more than 50.000 positive opinions and offer those LEDs in an auction like that:
http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...MEWN:IT&ih=009
or
http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...MEWN:IT&ih=018
here the seller even wrote, that the LEDs will fit 100% - GRRRRRRR !!!

now I spent more than 100 EUR for both kits and nothing fits into my car. I hope I will get the money back....

That's why I don't trust ebay. So much wrong info and pics.

Did you get the PM from Nick@Jlevi SW, they have LED that fits.

I don't know what those are but they look nothing like our E90/E91 Ice.
