I decided to do my first mod on my beast by upgrading headlights to Euro "angel eyes". Installation went quite smoothly (~1hour) with instruction from bmwtips.com I used 22Gauge wires to splice harnesses to have halo rings active. But when I turn the light on, all lights worked fine except for the halo rings My initial thought was that there must be a break in the wire somewhere, but soon realized the blinkers works fine which means the circuit is live....so, what gives?? I don't really care for the amber rings so I can keep it as is, but just curious to what I have done wrong
Any thoughts?

I think terry must mean the halos. If they don't work, you must have spliced into the wrong wire. I did my car awhile ago, and don't really remember the details.
Maybe you can make it to one of our bay area lunches in june? (another thread).
Not too many white M5's around!

Yea, I meant halos...
I just saw the Bay Area gathering on June 10th. I'll try to get down there during lunch.

Yes, I spliced the wrong wire. *NOTE* when splicing 4 wire harness, make sure to splice #1, #2, #4 wires not #3 wire! (look closely and you'll see wire terminal numbers on harness).
Also, it's a good idea to solder wires together and use heat shrink tubes.
