Let there be (white) light! No? Not yet?

Got me some WeissLicht LED bulbs ($149 from jlevistreetwerks.com) to make the halo lights and day times bright white like the regular beam xenons. This is standard on all the new BMWs but the 2007s came with ugly halogen bulbs for the halos.

I would have never have guessed that replacing any of my headlight bulbs would require professional help. It's supposed to be something the average guy who likes to pretend to "work on his car" on a Saturday afternoon should be able to do in his driveway at home, right? Not if you have an e90 sedan!

There's an "access panel" in the WHEEL WELL which requires A COIN to open. Yes, it said "coin" in the manual. You can get "access" (assuming you have extremely tiny hands) to the low beam xenon bulb and turn signal bulb through the access panel, but apparently not the angel eye bulbs. To get to those you have to remove the ENTIRE WHEEL WELL PANEL! Ridonkulous!

After tinkering around for 2 hours with my gearhead friend Ben, we were honestly just glad that the all the lights were working just as well as they were before we even started. I decided the best thing to do was to wait until I get the rims put on by Group5 since the wheels are going to need to come off anyway. FAIL!
