Dang it...

Man… I’m bummed that I came late to the party. These Angel Eye retrofits along with the bi-xenon option are just absolutely DOPE

I just found this thread tonight and my anticipation just kept building as I kept turning page after page. To my utter disappointment and dismay, i sort of suspected he was going to burn out trying to fulfill the demand of an entire community single-handedly. And as I reaching the end of the thread, it became obvious thats exactly what happened.

You don’t normally find a mod/retrofit that:
  1. has a very good/close OEM look and feel to it
  2. quality construction, great craftsmanship and precision in installation
  3. super competitive/reasonable pricing that does not incur the standard “BMW tax”
  4. plug and play – i.e. no rewiring, splitting, splicing, coding ... even with the xenon upgrade
Its just really a shame that in all likelihood, we’ve seen the last of this retrofit for the BMW community. I was holding out hope that even though I knew he wouldn’t be able to sustain the type of demand for this great a product as a one-man-show, that at least a decent DIY would come out of it. That way, the rest of the BMW community could pick up where he left off and continue the great work he started. But even that does not seem likely its going to happen.

Does anyone know if @blueaudi18 finished up that DIY he promised to do? Or maybe one of his customers actually did some of the installation work by working closely with him and could share some additional details of the process of making and installing this mod? Any idea where he sourced the acrylic material to fashion the LED ring? Or the process?

Actually, I heard the hardest part of this whole process is getting the headlight assembly opened up. i read somewhere that one enterprising guy just took a Dremel tool to it and pretty much brute forced it open. That would scare me. Seems like putting the assembly in the oven at low heat would be a better option to soften the perma-seal glue they use.

In any regards, i still want this mod, whether he does the work (which i would gladly pay for) or i have to do it myself. But i need more info ... arrrgggh

I'm interested in your headlights

Hey man. I saw your hex headlights for the f30 man. Great job!!

Do you still have some left ? I would want to purchase just the strip/plexiglass that goes inside the headlights with the LED strip attached and relay if you have one. How much?

Email is amzermeno@yahoo.com

Thank a lot man. That's some nice craftsmanship

blueaudi18, how did you get the lights to open up or come apart? seems like the adhesive doesn't get soft with heat. any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Edit: finally figured it out haha!

Did you ever go ahead and do your own set? I'm still lovin' my set and didn't do the lights for the F30, but after talking a lot with blueaudi back then, I made a pair of LEDs for my bike (gsxr). I think the hardest part is probably fitting the LEDs onto the plex and fitting the plex on the housing of the headlight. It's a lot of work but worth it in my opinion. Custom work at home will never be easy or perfect, though.

I'm working with beinarcis on something similar right now. He's making the acrylic extrusions for me. Have you seen his work in the other thread? total DOPE

Funny you mention the mounting. We've been PM'ing back and forth about this subject and i had no idea how challenging it is to get those LEDs mounted properly on the housing edges. There's custom mounting brackets involved to make sure they hold. But the beauty of it is that he makes them look like they just float around the low/high beam housings. I think that's the true test of artistic brilliance... making something complex look simple, minimalist, and streamlined

... even though it will look a LOT like the thousands of new 3-series F30 LCI headlights that are about to roll off the assembly line en masse...

Better hurry up and give him a head start before the LCIs start showing up on the street ;-)
