In this video we show you how we have changed the tired and worn out headlights on our E85 BMW Z4.
This is not an instructional guide of how you should do it, we are literally showing you how we done it and how we found the process.
If you are not confident doing car electrical work then always hand it over to a professional who will be able to complete the work safely and correctly.

New headlights look great and really transform the car. I'm toying with the idea of replacing mine, only downside is the originals are mint, so no real reason to do it other than aesthetics...

@RevZolution Жыл бұрын

Thank 😊 change them, sell your ones and you'll probably make a profit as the headlights are so expensive second hand

@dimi911 Жыл бұрын

@@RevZolution true, only concern would be how the aftermarket items would age, compared to the genuine ones since they are half the price. They do look really good though.

Good morning, as well as yours I have the "Dual Connector" setup. I noticed in your comments the actual manufacturer is not mentioned. I'm finding several varieties of headlights all over the internet but none with "Dual Connectors" Can the smaller connector be spliced into the remaining connector? Any info would be helpful. Ready to buy a new set, just can't find the dual connector setup..... thanks again......

Great video ,and my very next upgrade also, Iv fitted angel eyes before to my mk4 golf so familiar with the process, My only question is assuming the halo rings are your DRLs so there on perminantly, what are they wired to exactly to be on always, Are the DRLs basically connected to the low beam headlight setting so need turning on manually? The angel eye headlights I fitted previously came with a separate wiring harness just for the LED rings direct to the battery so they came on as soon as the engine started, I'm just confused where your DRL are getting power from to come on automatically,

@RevZolution Жыл бұрын

With mine, I've wired the halo lights in to the side lights so I can turn all the lights off when not needed and pop the slide lights on then the halos come on. I didn't want them on all the time.

@TomIves-KingstonWorkshop- Жыл бұрын

Hey great video. Did you refit the lights with part 7 054 471 space holder in the metal sleeves in the side of the lights, or did your car not have them in there, it looked like yours were missing in the video. I'm trying to order them but I can't get them anywhere. I ordered from BMW Germany and something completely different turned up.

@DietrichCohn Ай бұрын

That look is simply brilliant! I love my 2003 but that relatively simple update is awesome. I have two questions: 1. does the front bumper HAVE to come off or did you already have it off for some other reason/repair? 2. I feel like my headlights have always been weak compared to other cars since I bought it (brand new)…Zenons were an option but pretty rare back then and cannot be retrofitted. Do these new lights seem brighter to you when driving at night or pretty much the same?

@RevZolution Ай бұрын

Thank you. The front bumper needs to come off as there's a few bolts hidden behind it. Its definitely brighter however, the state of the original headlights were so bad anything would have been better. I am however very happy with the result

Why do you have to splice the black wires together?

@RevZolution Жыл бұрын

The halo lights aren't wired to the loom therefore you need to wire them to a loom. We found the best way to do it was to wire it to the side lights. So when they come on the halo comes on as well. Therefore we needed to cut in to the ground wire for the side lights. Easiest option

Iv previously brought angel eye/halo headlight units for my Mk4 golf. There were alot of LH drive only/ European options available on eBay. And universal ones being R/H & L/H drive' This being possible was due to a small directional lever on the high beam bulb surround inside the headlight ' lever up was R/H drive UK and obviously down was European. Passed two MOTs whilst installed.
