Anywhere local in the GTA for Angel eye bulbs?

My mom has had an error for the last 2 years and it pisses me off...she came to visit from out of town and I wanted to replace them...I guess I could buy OEM but is there anywhere local for good aftermarket ones? Or even ones that ship quick? If not I guess I'll grab stock ones from the stealership.

Saw a few on Amazon with horrific reviews so I figured I'd ask here

Grab it from the dealer, Its a simple bulb that takes all of 5 min to replace.

Ask for a forum discount, they will usually give you 15-20% off.

Hey Killa,

If you're reffering to the day time running lights for the head lights I recently bought a pair of excellent quality 112W LEDS at a local spot in Toronto. I still have an error light but I'm not sure if it's cause of any other light. But these are quality lights and work great. A pair cost me $110.0

If you have an error you can display the code on the screen to tell you exactly which bulb is out. Do you know how to do this?

How is the quality?

And how did you do it in 5 minutes? Don't you have to remove the wheel and liner? My low beam is blown and because I've read its a PITA, I decided to upgrade all bulbs. DRL, Low, Angel, fog

No, i just did it same as what is in all the youtube videos. Theres a little latch at the top of the angel eye assembly so i just popped off the latch, twisted the bulb and it came out. I hooked up the new harness and LED bulb and the popped it into the housing. I have a special technique i used which was to lower the back end of the bulb into the housing first instead of trying to get the tip in.

If you use my method attach the new harness to the bulb before you insert because if the bulb drops, it doesnt free fall into the housing.

Literally a 5 min install per light.

As for the quality of the light its pretty good. Its got a nice white light compared to the dull yellow and really updates the look of the car. I actually posted about it in a thread a couple weeks ago here as well as a link to the exact same version i got which was a plug and play for my 2008 E92 335XI.

I bought from the same vendor as Baopay but I have an e90, so this is what I've had for about a year. So far so good... replacing the angel eyes and headlight bulb is a PIA
