Bmw E60 5 series headlight removal + Lux angel eye review & install

- To remove the headlights, you'll need a T30 and an 8mm socket with an extension. There's only 2 bolts that need to be loosened with the T30 and the 8mm bolts just need to be loosened. I also show and review the Lux angel eyes H8 160 starting at 7:12. They're amazing. Thanks for watching.

Good video and editing. Thanks for taking the time to make this. Glad to see your M5 back with vids
Thank you I appreciate that!
Beauty... perfect modifications... also the hood *thumbs up*
Was waiting for SO LONG for someone to do E60 videos- instant subscribe. Please keep up videos with the model ! loving it !
Thank you man I appreciate that
@@AlexGray I agree! Thanks. Just bought my first 5 series (2008 535I) and still like my 3's better but have a way to go with upgrading the 5. Have a decatted down pipe set and Billy Boat cat back exhaust. The headlights are next on my list. Can you recommend any good aftermarket ones? Are the ones you used in this video available? I have the dynamic headlights so not sure if I need specific aftermarket sets or if regular non motorized ones will work ok and not throw codes? Sorry, lots of questions in one paragraph. Appreciate your experience!

@@brandonbelstad6450 Congrats man! Yep the Lux ones in this video will work for yours since you have a 2008 LCI. They will not throw codes and they're still available on their website, they have the bright ones as shown here and then slightly cheaper ones where you can adjust the color from bright white to orangish.
Man that things looks Mean AF ! Super nice bro thanks for the vid i will be ordering soon!
Great review and you make funny comments cheers mate
Thanks for posting this video, they look awesome!
I love them, great product. I'm going to do another install video for an e92 M3... anyway I could get a discount on the lights lol :))))))
@@AlexGray send us an e-mail and we can discuss there. Thanks
Car is Lookin good bro. Can’t wait to hear the headers.
Thanks man! I still wanna see that Porsche =D
I had the Lux 180s in mine for about 9 months, then one went out on the way to my first track day. Lux replaced it immediately, no questions asked. Great product and awesome customer support.
Wow 9 months is pretty short. Good thing they replaced it. Since I bought mine used I doubt they would help me out in that way since I don’t have proof of purchase. Hopefully mine will last. Can’t wait to see your car back from Jim!
@@AlexGray you and me both! Taking a - lot - longer than expected.
Does he have an ETA?
@@AlexGray "Soon" I'm really hoping before the end of the year, but we'll see. If you're ever up in WV, hit me up and we'll film something on it.
What’s the product link?
Nice videos bro….keep up the good work
Looks great .. One question: Can you still change the intensity of the lights with coding? (eg. Carly or Bimmercode) Or will they flicker? LEDS need to be suitable for dimming if I am not mistaken ? Greetings from The Netherlands!
You can actually do all that without even removing the headlight unit or even needing any tools. You only need to unscrew the cap part. It's a little tight, but I changed mine in the parking lot at the part store in just a few minutes.
I don’t remember 100% but I believe the LED is a good bit longer than the original halogen bulb so you can’t get it into the headlight without removing it
Thanks Alex for the update video. For an 06 I am assuming it is a different part number ?
Unfortunately they don’t make them at all for the 06-07.
Nice vid, very clear instructions
I appreciate it!
Great video. Thanks.
When he said that's what she said I immediately liked
Hello Alex,
i was wondering if there are any negative effects to the headlights when you use such a bright light a long time.
I hope you or someone else can answer me that question.
Thanks
Great video man! Doing mine soon so this will be very useful! Thanks!
Good luck man you’ll love them
@@AlexGray thanks! Thinking of doing the eyebrow lights too, includes having to replace the gasket apparently. Maybe that could be a new video for you 🤔
Oh wow I didn’t know that was a thing! are you replacing with a brighter orange or a different color?
@@AlexGray I was looking at white, my E61 is white so thought this would look cool. But looks like a serious mission! My Lux have arrived, so I'll do those anyhoo... 😎
Great video buddy. Do you have a link or name to the new bulb you have added? From Amazon or something. Cheers ❤️
Cheers mate was unsure where to stuff all that other shit 👍
Apply painter tape around paint work . help stop any minot scratches
Thanks for the video. I'm going to use painters tape to avoid scratching the bumper
That’s a great idea I would definitely do that just to be safe!
Cheers from Romania.
Cheers from the U.S. my friend!
So much for being careful @2:42 😂😂😂lmao
I have changed twinn grille kidney on my e60 is easy to scratch the number too .
Be careful guys.
Use masking tape before removal.
Would these work for a 2010 528xi with the halogen lights?
Hey man they look amazing. Just one question... why does the inner angel eyes look brighter than the outer ones?
I have same headlight why size is the angel eye bulb buddy? H7 with connector is it?
Lol I died when you said it’s like a wwe wrestling match putting the headlights back in. I’ve had to take mine out probably 4 times so far and still can’t comprehend what’s the best way to reinstall them without spending 15 minutes putting one back in.
Hey 160 means 160 watts on one side?
can you make a video of how to replace the orange light strip on top of the headlights. i would really appreciate it
I would if i knew how but i think unfortunately you would have to remove the lens to get to the LEDs :(
I have 2009 550i LCI. These are definitely gonna be my choice to upgrade angel eyes. My only question is how hot does the resister get in the housing? Will it damage any part of inside of headlight if you place it in a particular place?
No I believe these run cooler than the original halogens. I haven’t had any issues with the whole thing being tucked in there.
Great video and sick car! Side note: don't be one of those guys who buys a dope car and then starts wearing a bunch of "M" apparel so that everybody knows its yours. It's lame.
Which spacers, lowering springs combo have you used on your M5? Looks just right.
I have 20mm spacers front and rear and the front is lowered with lowtech springs, rear is stock.
I have a 2005 545i, and I want to convert to angel eyes. Is this possible? I'm looking to change the color of the halos to blue as well. Any advice or recommendations?
I seem to remember reading that Orion makes the best ones for those years
damn your car is goals
Thanks man!
@@AlexGray I'm seriously looking into buying one but honestly it scares the shit out of me
@@TrasherPop I was scared too man, but it has turned out to be an amazing car. I just suggest buying one with only one or two owners, maintenance records, and if it's an smg I would try to find one with the smg pump already replaced since they will fail between 80-120k miles. Also, I recommend 2008+ models.
I have a 530xi 2006 and i cant have that my garage cant do it because is a 2006
Wat size is the light bulb that u need for 07 530i halo rings if one side is out?
part number 159419001
More video like that please. when i buy M5 e60 l will need instruction.
What would you like to see?
all maintenance and biggest repairs in shop like exchange clutch or other.
Hello!
I changed my daylight bulb with led ,it is more nice but when is raining outside the headlight comming foggy,after i put back the normal bulb no more foggy on raining days !!!
Can be because of diffrent temperature range ?
Wow that’s really weird and have never seen or heard of that. Maybe the LED was not turned all the way and slightly loose which caused moisture to get in?
Good review where did you get the hood ?
Thanks man, the hood is from a company called Xclusive Customz out in the UK.
Put some tape around the edges of the surrounds of the headlight. No damage
I thought about that, that’s a good suggestion
That's what I was thinking you you also if you are crazy about tape it the same way but at the bottom tape one of those mechanic tarps to protect from literally anything
Mid 07 lci came in.
Hi Alex, Would this Lux upgrade be available for a 2010 E63 M6? Thank you for the info.
Yeah! Except same one would work for your M6 as well.
@@AlexGray Thank you Alex..I'll upgrade mine !
Hi Alex, do they have also for 2010 535i SW I would like to order if they have it. Is it from Luxangeleyes.com thank you very much.
Hi there,
Nice video on installing your led angel eyes on your 2008 BMW 5 series. I upgraded my regular headlights to LEDs ( low beams, high beams, and fog lights) on my 2008 BMW 528i. But I didn’t do the angel eyes yet. I found a local mechanic to help me install my headlights to LEDs because doing the fog lights is difficult if I were to do it all alone. The place I got my LED headlights installed is Audio Shack El Cajon in San Diego, CA. I live in San Diego. They installed my headlights at a decent price. My headlights requires using a load resistor in order to cancel out errors on my dash because it’s aftermarket headlights.
After watching this video, I’m planning on installing LED angel eyes on my 2008 BMW 528i myself. BTW I love your BMW car in this video. Is your BMW automatic or manual transmission. My BMW 528i is a stick (6-speed manual).
What size bulbs did the headlight and fogs take?
My fog lights uses H8 LED. And I believe my low beams and high beams uses H7 LED bulb. Are you looking into switching from stock halogens to LEDs soon? I did mine a year ago😊
@@vt6857 yeah I’m about to do a couple mods my little brothers 08 528 and was trying to make sure I got the correct stuff for his lci model. Gunna convert all lighting over to LED
@@pimpindnice910 That’s awesome to hear that you’re gonna convert all your lighting to LED. My car’s LED bulbs use a load resistor in order cancel out headlight warnings on dash. I’m just letting you know that so you’ll be aware just in case you get a headlight warning. Most aftermarket headlights require a load resistor.
@@vt6857 ok, appreciate that man fr
Tried this today and I could not get them lined up. The headlight assembly has to slide and lock into the tray under it and it's a pain in the ass. Gotta work on it again tomorrow
Yeah it’s incredibly annoying and no easy way to do it other than to just keep messing with it. Good luck
Would it be a similar turn out for a E90 LCI ?
Yes, but probably even easier since those headlights aren't as curved. I changed the ones on my X5 before this car and didn't even have to remove the headlights. Popped the cover and just swapped the bulbs... hopefully its that easy for the E90 too.
would this pair work for my 08 528xi? im not sure if its lci or pre lci but from my understanding 08 and newer is lci right? but I just wanna know if this pair would fit my car.
I think yes
Yes you're correct, 2008+ is LCI so they would work.
Where did you get these bulbs from and can you provide the link please?
These specific ones I bought used and don’t make anymore, the ones they replaced them with now are even brighter
luxangeleyes.com/collections/5-series-sedan-lci/products/lux-h8-189
I have a 08 535xi e61 you can easily remove the angel eye bulb without removing the whole headlight. I guess they aren't all the same?
Consider yourself lucky! Some people have said they are able to do it if they have smaller hands. I thought maybe the V10 being a big engine in this compartment that maybe it was just for the M5s but after watching this guy’s video with a E61 he also shows the headlights needing to be removed in order to get them out.

Co to za maska??
So can I put these on my bmw 528i ?they won’t have a problem as in heating up or anything ?
Correct
i just took of the bumper and didnt have to worry about scratching anything.
Good idea, how long does it take to remove the bumper?
And when did you change the angel eye bulb, not this video ?
What do you mean? I change the bulb starting at 3:48
Why would you cut on a video about installing headlights. I tried to follow your instructions to put it back in but I can’t even get it
Exactly he cut the most important part lol
Is it 40 watts in the angel eyes?
3600 lumen, the halogen equivalent of 180 watts
Hi Alex. What year is your car ? I have a 2010 528i, Will this fit ?
Yes I have a 2008, they'll fit yours.
Hello
Can you write what power the bulb has? Wat?
These are 160 watts but the ones they sell now are 190
Are the headlights LUX too or just the angel eyes?
Just the angel eyes, the headlights are factory.
I think people are confusing angel eyes witch are the round ⭕️ inside the headlights not the low or high beams 👍
Exactly right, I thought it was pretty clear but I guess to someone who has never looked at this era of Bmw lights before it can come off a little confusing
Where did you get the bulbs?
I bought these used from a forum but you can get them on luxangeleyes.com
U said it works for 2008 and higher. But mine 2007 lci is also a facelift
You must be from Europe. In the United States we did not get the facelift until 2008
@@AlexGray yea i am, thanks for the information😊
That’s what she said. Haha👍
You can swap the angel lights without removing the headlights out. :)
How so? I couldn’t fit my hand
@@AlexGray I did it maybe my hands are small but it is possible
@@AlexGray i did it too
can i install these on a 528i 2008??
Yes
Hi
Only two inner you can do?
outer not possible?
Good video mate.
Thank you 🤝
It powers both the inner and the outer, so just one bulb for both the inner and outer. Poor design by BMW for the inner ones being brighter than the outer.
Is this only for the inside rings?
It's for both inner and outer rings. By design the E60 has a brighter inside than outside unfortunately
Actually it does flash in real life. It's just our slow ass eyeballs.
Does it bright even in daytime?=)
Yes it's still fairly bright even in directly sunlight, especially the inner two.
How do i change the upper orange light ?
Sorry for the late reply, I have not seen a way to do that but I also haven’t looked very hard. Surely there’s a way.
Thank you
apply masking tape around paint work first !
My thoughts exactly
What size are your rims dude
They’re the factory 19” rims
it looks so easy, but its a nightmare to get out the headlight without scratching it.
Bende var işte birebir aynısı
nice telescope
nice video, do you still have E60 V10 M5 ?
Thank you! Yes, just hit 140,000 miles a few weeks ago.
Do these work with pre LCI M5’s?
Unfortunately they don’t.
М5 Е60😈🤗😍✊🤝👏👍👌🔊👍👌
How is m5 holding up?
It’s been great, driving it a lot lately. Just bought headers for it.
@@AlexGray m5 incoming
Would definitely use high beam if u would drive on the other side towards me.
It's bright but not blinding bright, it's maybe as bright as the angle eyes the new bmws have
Для этого не надо фару снимать
Your picture is used on AliExpress for an ad, I bet they do not have your consent
Oh wow yeah I didn’t know that, no one asked me. Thank you.
Imagine owning a car that takes a full rebuild every 50k for regular maintenance and being a baby about paint thats covered by the fender lol. Im glad im not one of THOSE bimmer owners
The misinformation in this comment is pretty cringe lol, but thanks for watching.
@Alex Gray definitely no misinformation. Plenty of proof about rod bearing issues in the m5/m6 v10.
His car is a M5 not a 5 series 🤦♂️
It's not stupid desinge everything is stupid to u
But it is. The other same generation BMWs I’ve owned have just a cap to remove to access the bulb. This is over complicated.
“This is the most stupidest design...” you’re supposed to remove the bumper first... you’re just doing the fast/easy way!
Note ! If you have aftermarket headlights like i do those bulbs will not work because they have H6 bulbs 🤌
