Angel eyes replacing bulbs

My wife's x5 has angel eyes , I think that's the correct name for them, they look like oven rings. One of the bulbs is out and only the sidelight is working! I want to get some better bulbs for it and see there are a large amount available! What has everyone else got? Do you get bright white or xeno...

Re: Dull brake light at one side

Light unit had a bit of black where the contacts of the bulb holder sits cleaned it up
And managed to get the bulb holder to sit where it's getting a contact. Going to get the sparky at work to run a bit of solder on to it so it makes a good contact on a bigger area. Thanks for all the suggestions.

Re: Paking sensors

Cheers Dave. Do I need to go to the stealers for a code read? Can the sensor be changed without removal of bumper?

Paking sensors

Got a 55 plate 3.0d got in it tonight, selected reverse sensors beeped for about 20 secs and the parking sensor button was flashing green. Any ideas? Tried it again and still not working.

Re: Rosen in car dvd headrest screens e53

Hi, are the headrests included in this sale? How hard are they to install/wire up? Could you connect a playstation to these screens?

Ticking noise

I have a 55 plate 3.0d x5 just heard tonight a continuous ticking noise sounds like it's coming from the underneath of the car at the passengers side any advice?? Also check coolant level warning message comes on the dash but not all the time!
