Installing LED Angel Eyes Bulb in Front Headlights

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Headlight bulb

To install the ANGEL EYES bulb kit in the headlights, you must completely remove the front light assembly. Obtain the kit and start with the plastic trim up to the front glass of the headlights. Mount the two LEDs on the light guide ring. Position the ring in its place and, using a screwdriver, gently thread the connecting wires into the engine compartment. Also position the second light guide. Connect the wires to the designated connectors and secure the wires with zip ties. Reassemble all parts of the headlight. Repeat the same process on the other headlight.

How to Open the Bonnet of the Ford Transit Custom

On many Ford vehicles, opening the bonnet is not done using the traditional lever located in the cabin, at the bottom left on the driver's side. Instead, you must use the ignition key to unlock a lock positioned at the front of the vehicle, usually beneath the manufacturer's badge. The reason for this choice is unclear, but it can pose a difficulty if the lock becomes jammed, risking damage to the key. You can try to disengage the lock by inserting a long screwdriver through the grille of the front panel. Once the first opening is achieved, spray some unlocking fluid on the lock to allow subsequent activation with the key.
