My inner ring is smaller than the outer ones. I bought the halogen sizes and fitted the xenon and projectors afterwards and it fitted perfectly. I think the xenon sizes are the same, although the outer ring looks even smaller than the inner one but that could be because of the projector.

Easiest and cheapest: contact vsomai on the forum. I imported more than a year ago because no one was supplying locally. Renzzport also imported a few.

OR

Import yourself: price depends on exchange rate but about R1300 incl Angel Eyes, shipping and customs charge.

PS sorry the pics are taking so long. Only have my phone and ipad here. But will be at a computer by this afternoon and upload.

Is that not a bit harsh to spend on ae's?

Not really as they weren't available locally at that time. Only the ccfl ones.

So here you go oueryemchi:

Excuse the dirty car and the HID kit. Still need to mount that under the headlights properly.

First picture you will see in the red circle is the main component. That handles everything. There is a OEM nut there under the rubber as in the pic that you just undo and mount the Control Unit. The Green circle is the fuse. The red wire with the red arrows is the power supply. Just lift the cap with the "+" and undo the nut. Slot the wire in and do up the nut. PLEASE REMEMBER TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY.
The purple arrow pointing right shows the wires leading to the left front AEs and the purple arrow pointing left to the front right AEs and there will be a yellow wire going down to splice into the footwell light if you want the "unlock activate AEs" function.

Another pic showing the power cable better.

The Yellow wire that goes into the cabin to splice into the footwell light. If anyone wants to attempt this PLEASE PM me. Its very tricky and you have to get it through behind the acceleration pedal and remove a few things.

PS my cap for the diagnostic port was taken after the last Diagnostic test and not replaced. I will try and find a replacement.

The purple arrow shows the wire heading towards the headlight. The purple circle shows where the wire from the Control Unit and the wires from the AEs plug into each other.

Other side.

Theres a tube you just clip to open to feed the wires over the engine and to protect them.

IMG02114-20120714-1751.jpg


Purple arrows show where the wires have gone over the engine and on down the side to the front left light. The Blue arrow shows the white wire that splices into the red, yellow and white wire of the cars ECU. This allows the lights to switch on when the key is in ignition position 2.

IMG02115-20120714-1751.jpg


Lights on at dusk.

IMG02117-20120714-1752.jpg


Lights on during day.

IMG02118-20120715-1010.jpg


Any questions don't hesitate to ask.


And during the day with Xenons on

No problem buddy. And when you need to disassemble the light to fit the rings inside just look at my DIY on Xenon fitment.

Please look back in this topic page 1 or 2 and you will see a link to a website. they are located in California but they still have some LED Weisslicht so you can try to order. no guarantee included though.

i do sell the LED ones but obviously do not stock it because the demand is so low. let me know if you want me to order them for you. the E46 LED angel eye ring with wiring harness will be R660.

exactly the same only slightly different.
:thumbs:
the E46 ones have bigger rings on the outsides than the insides.
the E36 ones are all the same size

Mr Somai, do you sell the ring on its own? Just the ring with the wires that connect to the harness. 3 of my LEDs on the one ring don't always work and JLevi was going to send me a new set but only if i ship mine back and the shipping alone was R500 so i just kept the set.

i can ask the supplier to send a set with only the rings.

vsomai,

I will PM you closer to the weekend and maybe arrange for a pair for my 2004 e46 model, it is the face lift model. That wouldn't be an issue, right?
