Ebay's E46 angeleyes installed !
Hi folks!
I just installed some E46 LED angeleyes found on Ebay. Since it's freezing here during winter, I didn't wanted to get the Unmitza angeleyes...seems that a lot of people are having cold weather issues
On this link, you'll find pics/comments of the installation...and oh!! sorry if my english isn't perfect
...french is my first language.

, I ordered a "white" set, can't wait to get them in, they look great, durable and cheap! I'll post pics when I get my "White's" installed. I know there are one or two others who have chosen to go this route rather than the Umnitzas. Here's the ebay link:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW-E...QQcmdZViewItem

Not too shabby, they don't look as thin as the Umnitza's but for the price who's complaining? 
Could this be wired so when you turn on the parking lights that would turn on as well? Or did you just intentionally wire it so it has its own switch?
Also, which particular glue did you use to attach the DDE's and the headlamp back together?

I wore rubber gloves while installing my DDE's too. It keeps the insides of your headlight much cleaner (no skin oils) and also keeps you from gluing your fingers to the headlight.

Looks good. Maybe I should go this route since its so cheap. Right now my umnitza's are fried b/c of cold weather issues. Sucks living in Canada 
It would be great to get some feedback after you've had them for a couple months.

Tell you what, trailer it over to me in Dallas, and I'll take it off your hands. I don't want you to have to suffer like that.

I have been looking for something like this for a while. The Umnitza's are way too much $ for e to spend right now. I think I might have to get a set. Does it matter if you buy E46 coupe or sedan--dumb question but need to make sure.

Had umnitzas in chicago winter no problem. if you install em right you shouldn't have a problem. These things look to big on the lights plus they're gonna burn out fast.
To blue for my taste.

i like the angel eyes..although i dont like blue..they still look really good especially when considering the price compared to the umnitza ones..i would have gone with red (for agressive); white for (clean)' hell even yellow (for classy). But definitley a great product for the money
If anyone is worried abotu burning out their angeleye rings..just put on a resistor to limit the amount of current that you put into those. A+ job though.
