Installing new angel eye bulbs e90 LCI sedan omg

So I had installed the lux angel eyes on my 2011 sedan twice before - and I'm stunned at how hard it is to get your fingers in there to turn the bulb to take it out

This is literally the third attempt and I closed it back up and quit had to walk away

I don't know how I managed to get them on before

I asked my fiancée to put them on for me, haha

Might have to ask your sister/female you know.

Its not easy since the space is so small in there. Small hands make it easier.

I keep trying and just button it back up - would be amazing to fabricate a tool that can be used to twist , that's the hard part because the cooling fins cut into your fingers

Having these 189s and not being able to install them is torment haha! And to think I replaced them twice before !

Getting confused which way is tight and loose

So when your twisting it to the left it's loose and to the right it's tight ? (Orientation of your hovering over the front of the headlight)
