thanks.

No, you do not need to install new headlights. You will need to take apart your headlight assembly and carefully place the angel eyes in there, then close it back up again. The install process takes 2-3 hours, but there are lots of very good DIY tutorials online (and many kits come with decent instructions).

I hate working on my car and I'm a complete noob when it comes to anything mechanical, but I managed to install without any trouble. Took me about four hours, but everything works now and I haven't had to touch it since (and that was almost 2 years ago).

You can buy from:

http://www.modbargains.com/

http://www.umnitza.com/

I urge you to stay away from Ebay brands because they tend to have serious issues - and you don't want to have to reinstall these suckers again. It's a pain, so doing it once is enough.

Lastly, I advise you to go with a pair of LED angel eyes - NOT CCFL (flourescent). The LED ones are brighter, do not require a ballast, and do not have a very notorious 'dimness' problem in cold weather that plagues the CCFL kits.

Best of luck!

I had my DRL disabled at an independent BMW shop here in Victoria. They didn't charge me anything, they just did it for me when I went in for a big service (oil change, fluids, belts, etc).

If you want the name of the shop, PM me :D

^hmmm, victoria is a bit far, thx for the help tho

amaru , lets just say i want this Predator Orion™ V2 LED Angel Eyes for $119. Does it come with all four of the l.e.d halos? Is there a big difference between 30 l.e.d and the 60l.e.d ? would it be better if i get it professionally done?

The 30 LED ones... you can sort of notice the gap between each LED. It's a bit ricier, imo, but it still looks pretty cool. The 60-LED are a fair bit brighter, and you can't really tell that the ring is made up of LED's.

This thread has a lot of good pics of the different types: http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthr...390303&page=28

As for professional install... I can't really tell you that one way or the other. Installing them is a bit of a pain, but it's not technically challenging. Plus finding someone to install them properly might be just as annoying as doing it yourself, lol.
