  • The stock halogen halo bulbs on most of the BMW E60 5 series leave you with that less Ideal amber look. To give you a more modern look I will show you how to change these halogen bulbs to LED's. It's a little bit of a pain but should take less than an hour. I did break part of the connectors but managed to make it work. Hope you found this useful and thanks for watching!

    Have an E60 myself. One of my rings just went out so maybe this is a good replacement. Also, what did you use to restore your headlights? I used a kit about 18 months ago and they are back to looking like total crap

      Good idea, mine are still working great. Yeah that happens. I used meguiars headlight coating after sanding. Only works for about a year. I would re sand and use spray max 2k headlight clear coat next time

    me too have 5 series 520 of 2007 and that bulb did not fit because i think that your lamp is non lci because in my case the led marker does not fit and what looks like your frame that holds that marker is out of plastic and mine is out of metal and there is not so much room so i could put my marker in do you have any suggestions? (sorry for the language, if i made mistakes)

    would have been easier if you just removed the headlight first. I'd also recommend you don't use this type of bulb as they are known to melt plastic from heat, their are better variants on the market.

    • @4WheelKid

      Not really, you have to remove the from bumper cover and wheel liners before you can remove the headlights. These have worked great for me the factory bulbs will get hotter and these have big heat syncs
