Automotive Botox - BMW M3 HID Headlights and LED Taillights
Article provided by: Eurotuner Magazine
We got Umnitza's Depot lights with its Predator Chromium angel eyes option, along with clear turn signals and side markers (smoked lenses pictured). Our headlights were also fitted with 6000K xenon low beams for improved performance
Removing the headlights and turn signals is easy. Simply take out the four 8mm screws holding it in - two at the front-top and one on each side - and disconnect the connectors to the low beam, high beam and turn signal. To reach the innermost screw, remove the radiator cover
There's only one way the xenon low beam and projector high beam will fit into the factory connectors, so you can't mess up. Furthermore, you only need to wire-in the gray wire to the factory yellow/gray wire to operate the angel eyes
We mounted the xenon ballast unit inside the bumper with strong double-sided tape for a clean install. You could also zip-tie it to different locations, depending on your preference
The new headlight housings are slightly larger, so loosen the kidney grille panel for easier installation. Simply remove the four bolts (two 27 Torx and two 10mm) on each side as shown. The few extra millimeters this gives you will make your life easier
Remove the factory side markers by simply pushing it forward and pulling the back out. Disconnect the bulb and connect it to the new, clear side marker, then reinstall
Time to paint the kidney grilles. To access them, remove the radiator cover's six screws and get it out of the way (this should already be off if you replaced the headlight housings)
We already had our grille panel off, but you can remove the kidney grilles if the panel is still on. To do this, carefully pry the black plastic tabs from the painted (red in our case) surface
