BMW Angel eye lights
Discussion
Hi,
Noticed a dicky light on the Z4. On of the inner Angel Eye type lights is out, but on closer inspection, very faint and flickering.
Was just passing Autohaus York so nipped in and they noted it was a modified part. I wasn't aware it was modified. Due in for service soon and they said they could put it back to standard if we wished.
Got home and had another look. Wiring seemed pretty simple so switched left to right and the problem followed so have isolated it to being the little square units, I think they are called ballast/resistor boxes. Had a quick look online and found them to be very common and very cheap, even buying an entirely new kit would be inexpensive.
Just wanting to check an ebay purchase of this value is safe to put on the car and not going to set it alight! Have seen similar kits at £99 they 'look' the same. Any benefit to buying elsewhere. Anybody bought this and can share any experience? 120W seems a lot. Is there any way to check whats currently fitted?
Thanks
