Even if you replace the LEDs, they will still blow eventually. Spend the $40 and get CCFL rings, 4x brighter, can be seen in daytime, and you'll only need to replace the inverter once in a while.

Would these fit? They say they are for non-projectors.

The E46 projector and non-projector headlights all use the same rings.

CCFLs are fragile but they are evenly lit unlike LED rings. The one advantage LED angle eyes has over CCFLs is that you can replace the LED rather than replace the whole ring. Either or you'll still have to open up the headlights, but LEDs would be the cheaper route in the long run.

Oh come on, all of the CCFL rings nowadays are encased in a thick plastic casing. You've gotta be a caveman to crack one while installing.

The Umnitza Maxima kit rings are the old style thin lines, whereas the E46 kit rings on eBay and sold by Umnitza as well are enclosed in a plastic casing with grooves, and aluminum backing to reflect light more.
