BMW 3 Series E92 Bavgruppe Round LED Angel Eyes and New Lenses - 335i
I installed Bavgruppe round angel eyes in my 335i's headlights recently, and in the process I also painted the internal housings and installed some new lenses. This project requires quite a bit of modification to the headlight housings, which may seem scary. In the end, I think its definitely worth the effort, as it modernizes the front end a ton! This product specifically works for the E92 and E93 328i, 335i, and M3.
Couldn't find a solid DIY on these, so I thought I would make one. The process should be relatively similar with the DTM style eyes, but probably slightly more difficult.

Hey just found out your channel watched all of your e92 videos, really nice content very informative and good quality of showing how to upgrade. Keep going hopefully you will receive more attention :) much appreciated!
Thanks, I appreciate it! I'll keep uploading!
"Just the (Q) tip. That's all I need." 🤣
I do it the same thing, inside full black + full circle ⭕️ angel eyes led + turn signals led + coding led turn signals 👌🏻✌🏼nice job
Its a clean look! Thanks
Hey, just came across your channel and i’m now following your videos. I’m just starting on building my headlights and using your video as my tutorial. Unfortunately, i also made the same mistake of plugging the oem plug the wrong way causing a short. Do you still have the link of rhe capacitor you used to fix yours.
Man, you need more subscribers! Great content!! Earned a sub from me.
Thanks man I appreciate it! Hoping they'll come with time :)
Getting ready to install this same kit on my 07 335i soon. I am not looking forward to it lol. So how are the rings held in place? You did not glue them or anything? BTW thanks for the video man super helpful!
Nope, literally just held in place from the lens. I tried out some double sided tape but that didn't really stick. Been over a year now, car is driven hard on some bumpy roads, its been on track, and no issues! Good luck with the install! Definitely not the most fun thing to do lol but well worth it in the end
Hey man, finally found a video explaining how to build the exact lights I want to build great content just subscribed. Would It be possible to see the angel eyes when you signal in a video.
Yeah, if you have an instagram send me a DM @sam.amg and ill send you a quick video. Glad you found this video helpful!
@@SamAbraham just followed you
Good DIY. Was there any error codes after? Also, the other angel eye ring really just sits there without any glue or 3M tape? Curious. Thanks!
Literally just sits there, hasn't budged since I've installed the lenses. I suppose you could put some adhesive but I had a hard time with the adhesive tape sometimes tearing up the paint. There are some codes but they're pretty easy to code out with the INPA software suite. I've been procrastinating and still haven't done it lol. Maybe I should make a video on the coding part.
Samuel Abraham i have a dumb question. Is INPA only for N54/55 platform. I have a e92 m3
Nope, INPA applies to pretty much ALL BMWs from this era and even earlier!
You guys can use bimmercode for iOS or Android and a Bluetooth OBD2 👍🏼 not to mention and I’m sure you guys know that when you get into coding you can do all kinds of stuff, seat belt chime delete, E93 top down with fob, etc anyway just figured I’m chime in and let y’all know
Nice one bro. Please can you leave a link for the turn signal Led bulb. I will like those on my e90 330i. Thanks in advance.
Link should already be in the description, best of luck
Im about to do the same project, just wondering how’s the bigger ring holding up cause you said you didn’t put any glue or tape to hold it. Thank you for the DIY, this will definitely help me.
Joshua Camungao Hey there, so my headlights are still looking like new since I did this back in december, and I’ve probably done about 12k miles since then. If you’d feel more comfortable you could try a tiny bit of silicone or something else but in my case everything’s still good. If you have any other questions feel free to DM me on instagram! Good luck!
Samuel Abraham what your ig?
Joshua Camungao @sam.amg
Nice job. With kind of turn signal bulb it is?
The LED ones in the side bulbs? I'll add a link in the description right now!
Where did you get the lenses from?
Link in description
So is your low beam at night now the angel eyes? Or are the angel eyes just daytime running lights.
Just the DRLs, but they're also on at night alongside the low beams. And then the ones I have are also switchbacks so they blink amber next to the normal turn signal.
Whats SwitchBack exactly mean?? After 2 years are there any dead led spots ?
Switchback means the angel eyes light up amber to match the turn signals when they are activated. And great question, the left side does have 2 dead LEDs unfortunately so I will be replacing them both this summer. Pretty normal to be honest after 2.5 years. I might ask them for a discount so we'll see
why can't you paint that inner lenses? I'm going for an all blackout 13:15
i’m talking about the clear portion (the lens). I mean you could if you wanted, but light is supposed to go through that so I don’t recommend painting it haha. I painted the actual shroud for the light behind it anyways so it looks basically black, but light still goes through just like it would’ve before
I ordered the switchback white/amber - do i still need to purchase a different bulb to get the white color instead of the nasty yellow in my rings ?
No, the switchbacks completely replace the rings... Not sure if you watched the video but you have to fully disassemble ur lights and remove the existing physical rings to install these. Not trying to sound weird just a heads up haha
@@SamAbraham I mean the bulb that you turn in to lock it into place. I believe it’s the H8 bulb ?
I wanna to do the same 08 335i sendan. i got lux 7 Angel Eyes. blackout everything
Yeah man it's a pretty ambitious project but well worth it imo.
Hey man are these the bavgruppe white rings? Or are they the switchback white/amber rings?
The ones I got are the switchbacks, the white/amber ones. I don't think the plain white ones were available when I got mine
@@SamAbraham appreciate it man, didnt think i would get a reply since the video is quite old, but thanks man im bout to follow this video for my set up, great content!!
@@xandres9451 No worries, and good luck!
What’s the name of those headlights and where’d you buy them at?
this video is literally about me building these lights lol
They have both sides for 50 bucks for my chassis obviously they are NOT from Germany 🤷🏻♂️ but 50? I can spend that to take a chance on some new (appearing) headlights 👍🏼
I’m guessing ur talking abt just the lenses. Just remember it’s a good amount of work and time so keep that in mind. I don’t think mine are oem but they’re very high quality
@@SamAbraham I used to do this as a business 🤙🏼 had my LLC and everything I’m going to put the Ghozt module in my E90 and make it do some really trick stuff. If I remember I’ll tag you in the video once I’m finished ....lol thanks for the kind words tho And yes I should have clarified the 50 bucks comment was indeed refreshing to just the lens... I still feel like that’s an awesome deal... I will also use clearcoat enamel on them if the material warrants it... it’s a good way to be proactive with rock pit prevention and scratches
@@skizzlemane1 Oh dope are u doing that for some sequential lights? Best of luck man that sounds cool
@@SamAbraham are you familiar with the Apple loading symbol? Like when you turn off an iOS device? Well my front turn signals are going to do that. One ring at a time moving outward 👍🏼 and of course I’ll have a show mode for when Im at the local car meet. And I assure you it willl be tasteful (minus show mode) number one priority is to look like a corporate concept. So not factory like an Audi or something but also not to look like a toy, like this polished turd of a headlight that Spyder made lol ...don’t mean to offend Spyder fans. Anyway should be cool. Hoping I can start my business back up Covid really killed it lol 🤷🏻♂️ oh well
@@skizzlemane1 Haha that sounds awesome man all the best. You got an instagram where you post ur creations?
I cant do this😫
Its a huge pain I gotta say, but I didn't wanna spend over a grand for professionals to do it! I can see why many people do though
@@SamAbraham i need this done to my m3 asap
Send me pictures of your installs! @sam.amg on insta!
