Thanks guys for your help with the angel eyes... we got there eventually. Now, anyone any good on tiptronic gearboxes ????? AdeV

Thanks for the link, any ideas where I can get driving lessons next !!

BOTH !!!! how do I remove the old ones and how do I fit the new ones. I assume that once I've figured out how to get the old ones off without damage it's purely a process of reversing the procedure to fit the new ones, although it never actually seems to be that easy. I'd ask the BMW dealer that sold me the lights but he's already conned me once, don't fancy getting bitten for a second time.... kerching !!!!

I bought two original items from a BMW dealer - bad move......expensive !!!! I just want to know how to get the old ones off without any damage and replace them with these OEM Angel Eyes. I can see the two top screws, they're quite obvious, I just can't see the bottom ones and obviously I am reluctant to cause damage. The lights came with two short loom modifications ??? not sure were they go either. It would be easier to fit candles I think. Pushing my luck now I know but it's worth asking, can you post me a photo of a front shot of an E39 with an arrow pointing at where to find the bottom two screws. One more question (might as well get my moneys worth!!) what about the electric headlight adjusters ?? where do they sit in relation to the units I am taking off, do I have to transfer them over?? waiting with hammer in hand !!! rgds, AdeV

I've just bought a pair of Angel Eye headlight units that I want to fit to my E39 528i, now I am sure that this will sound like a dumb question to those of you out there who have fitted quite a few, but I'll ask it anyway ... how do I fit them to my car ??? they came with no instructions, and rather than struggle for a few hours I'd appreciate the guidance of the knowlegdable in order to avoid damage/mistakes/spanner throwing !!! Waiting with screwdriver in hand .... AdeV

I've recently bought a 1998 E39 5281 with a tiptronic gearbox. The car is in excellent condition with 60K miles on the clock and a full BMW dealer service history. The only problem that I've got is a harsh change down at low speeds on the tiptronic - between 40mph to 20mph. Anyone experienced the same issue, have any suggestions or is this a trait of tiptronic gearboxes ?? I'd appreciate your advice/suggestions. rgds, AdeV
