it's simple plug and play...I think Dave at customangeleyes said that it should void your warranty since it pulls less power (?), but check with him on that. whether it's worth it is up for debate, but it's good quality and definitely looks a lot better than the factory angel eyes color. If you do get it, start on the passenger side angel eyes first...there's more room to see what you're doing, so that when you do the driver's side bulb, you'll have an idea of what to do because you're pretty much doing everything on that side by feel since that reservoir thingy is in the way. Make sure to unbolt the 3 bolts that hold the reservoir down so that you have more room to manuver. If you do an angelibrights search, you'll find before and after pics.

They are legal in every state, most BMW dealers will not install non-BMW parts, would depend on your relationship with them. Many BMW dealers order these from us for their customers.

Installation:

iBright definitely is a good buy, but to be warned that you may have the same problem as one of the forum member and myself. I believe Dave is still trying to find us a fix.

The iBright blinks on driver side, when I turn the key to pos. 2 (Ignition on) with headlight switch on OFF pos.

have you switched back the oem bulb and see if it does the same thing? Or switched the angelibrights to make see if it's both doing that or just one?

I switched the oem bulb and they were fine, no blinks.
I switched the polarity, it doesn't work either.
