Can't decide if I should....
I have the BMS LED angel eyes sitting on my table unopened and want to install them, But after reading all the horror stories about them causing adaptive headlight issues I'm debating on just selling them & going with a PIAA H8 bulb instead. decisions decisions decisions!

I had no issues. All issues would be user error. You have to be careful as to where you put everything in the headlight housing. I've heard of others using double sides stick tape or Velcro too.

I couldn't get mine right either and ended up selling them the day after they arrived for a $20 loss. Had condensation issues, then adaptive light issues, then total headlight failure which thankfully wasn't permanent. This was right after they switched to the "new design" with far shoddier looking oval ballasts that are near impossible to mount reliably with tape because of their stupid shape. I'd honestly say stay away. I'm sure other solutions can pull off the same effect with fewer than two oddly shaped ballast things per side. It's just a risk. They looked really cool, it was just too much of a risk for me to keep them on.

So I took the plunge & decided to install my BMS angel eyes today. I did the passenger side first and it looked really good, So I jumped over to do the driver side real quick got it all back together and low&behold the driver side isnt working. I checked all the connections and cant figure out why it isnt working. I think I may have got a bad light in the kit.
I guess you guys can say "I told ya so" now. |

Jason @ BMS, just emailed me back and said he is sending me a replacement side. He has been in contact with me all weekend thats some great customer service if you ask me. I definitely will be buying more stuff from BMS.
