| 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!

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~

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.

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

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.

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.
