Wiring Connections and Review
Each of the Angel Eye rings has a handy three pin plug and a bus styled lead, each one is plugged into one small control box containing resistors or regulator. The two wire connector from this box uses two of the wires red and black and is routed into the sidelights or driving light, note: remember, light cluster wiring on the BM, the BROWN is EARTH.
The disadvantage with the Angel-eyes wiring ribbon is that the wiring is white, ideally I would like to see it in black, however this ribbon can be camouflaged with black insulation tape, no other complaints as they work well and are bright. (to legal specification for UK) .
Note: If using White diamond light bulbs, the LED Angel horse-shoe shaped display will give off a slightly blu/white light halo, around the main and/or dipped beam, not too bad effect and is a slight contrast (reasonably unique in style) to other upgrades and to the factory standard. Other colours other than the pale white/blue such as blue/red/green/yellow/etc. Should not be used when driving on UK roads, meetings on car parks and/or on private property is acceptable with permission by the landowner. Blue lights can only be used on emergency vehicles only, in the UK and are prohibited to generally other road users.
