Angel Eye Installer Recommendation
 
Hi folks, I'm looking to have some angel eyes installed on a 330ci, and unfortunately the headlights need baking and resealing to properly install them, amongst other things. Given that I'd probably make headlight flambé, I'd rather have someone professionally install and wire them. Could anyone kindly suggest an installer/shop that they've had a good experience with for this type of work? Thanks!

inb4 private modder.

GL OP, I'm going to bake some taillights soon. Luckily, I have a set that's cracked, to practice on first.

Give rpm electronics a call. They do headlight retrofits so they will be able to install angel eyes easily.

Haha, that was awesome westopher!

I don't mind small jobs, but I'd rather pay someone with experience than take a stab at it and ruin the lights.

Thanks saveth, I'll give them a shout~

its really not that hard i installed in my car but be prepared to work on it for a few days dont rush things and it will be done right cuz in the end you can rebake the headlights if you didnt do it right the first time

jinxcrusader 12-22-2014 07:06 PM

I was about to do this too. Let me know how it goes. I am mainly worried about condensation/fogging of the headlights, it needs to be super carefully and properly sealed.

Lol pretty sure the private modded answer is in like 15 threads.

c4@urdoor 12-22-2014 08:37 PM

Subliminally brainwashed. It was the first thing in my head when I see the words "private modder"

Nomomo 12-23-2014 05:21 AM

Yes , BMW best installers hands down.

The_AK 12-23-2014 12:08 PM

What year 330ci? I've done mine and they didn't need to be baked

Gucci Mane 12-23-2014 12:44 PM

doing things baked is the best.

wait, whaaaat???

jpark 12-23-2014 01:08 PM

i thought e46 headlights are clip on lenses. Never heard of people baking them and opening up the traditional way... correct me if I'm wrong

Limitless 12-23-2014 03:06 PM

First time I heard of that LOL

The pre facelift non M e46's are just clips, but the facelifted ones have sealed headlights that need to be baked. These headlights;

You're right on, it's a facelifted coupe just like the above picture, so unfortunately the headlights have to be baked.

What projector did you go with?

ub3rn3wbx2 12-24-2014 02:27 PM

If you're baking your headlights open, you should inspect the projector bowl cause the ZKW bowls tend to burn up inside. If they are burnt just put some EvoX projectors in, there's a quick retro-fit system out there.
