If you own an e46 or ever thinking about owning one

"get off this nut"... love it. Great vids man. I finally bought a 330xi after years of contemplating and ur vids are the best!
Thanks for doing this tutorial🙌🏻 my first time working on German cars after working on American trucks. This helped so much!!
Been looking at BMW's and your videos help a lot with my decision seeing as everyone talks about how expensive they are to maintain. Keep it up bro I like the hustle 👌🏼
Shit Clean bruh. Good work. Gonna do mines soon on my e46 325. I got the Facelift one tho.
Another great video by ShoplifeTV. No get your but back to NC where the rent is cheap and the people are sweet. Plus I need a shop to take the Beemer when I'm lazy.
You are doing hell of a good job bro
Keep it up 💯💯💯
Ready to rock brother ! getting the same Tail lights Eagle Eyes thanks!
ive been watching since 800 subs, this guy has come a long way!
Appreciate it! Still have a long way to go, with each vlog I am starting to figure out more of what I want to do as well as make better content for you guys. Thanks for watching!
np! keep em coming :) loving the e46 content maybe some e36 stuff later?

3:54 Laughed so hard at the notification lol😂😂
Great Video Bro!
I got a pretty ghetto 2000 323i for super cheap. and now I'm dropping hundreds of dollars for repairs here and there. thanks for the help
VINCENT BENAVIDES aren't we all
awesome man, good content!
Aw, I was waiting for how lights look in the dark. I love the editing mistake (maybe Selena left it their :-) ). Top snot wipe with your shirt. Are the LEDs a stand out mod, or just something to do? i.e, can people go "Whoa" or not even notice?
you are awesome bro, keep up the good work...
Thanks brother loving your video, it helps alot.just had problem which the turn signal didn’t work after a while of using it. Something wrong with a fuse or something else. Really appreciate it if you can reply this comment. Thank you brother
Ready to order mine
Cervantes Garage I like your videos and your car
2024 and still using this vid to upgrade the e46 6speed manual 330xi
Installed in Prague ✔️
Hi, this was a really good tutorial video, although funny, you don't have the issue with the clamps on a Touring, but you don't have LED turning lights either on it. These are really good quality lights, I have been using them for almost 6 years and no faults, no water damage (I live in EU with sometimes really bad weather) :)
have you had a problem when you first installed them with them flickering?
Hi, yeah they flicker "a bit" on start up and if the battery is low, but no other major issues besides that :) Btw, the flicker is part of the on-board diagnostics, so since they are rear lights I didn't pay much attention to it, since they kept on working :)
got it! thank you, mines come tomorrow!
I found a set at the junk yard, looks brand new, gonna install just don’t know how to lol
My rear left indicators on my set of Eagle Eyes went bad after a year and a half or so. Hopefully your set lasts longer than mine! Very hit and miss with longevity from what I gather on E46Fanatics.
Appreciate the comment, I will keep everyone posted on both sets (the smoked on gf's car and normal on mine)
Awesome work, and love the channel!
Have you considered retrofitting any facelift trunk-lid brake lights? The dummy sockets under the reverse lights seem like a waste of space...
Thanks, and they are a waste of space haha I might look into it in the future.
Is this the same method for the facelift model?
just what i was looking for. now do angel eyes for me hehe
Will be making a video on that as well after the move
hello ShopLifeTV, love your videos, one quick question, I have my 323CI, but not sure which one should be better ,smoked ones or the clear ones led ones? any suggestion?
ou know what bugs me about these? The aftermarket lights have a black housing for the outboard lights and light grey for the inboard. Since the color of the housing ghosts through the lenses, the outboard has a dark outline and the inboards don't, so they don't match each other. OE uses light grey housings for both and look cleaner.
can you please do a video on how to replace the trunk lid I need help
Thanks for video as always yoisaid no lights on dash thats what I was worried about. Did you hear anything about the new led styles off ebay if they would give a dash light code. I heard they do
Got my first bmw Saturday, e46, motor is no good so I got a pretty good deal (500$) about to pull the old motor out (it's a 2000 323i with the sports package) I'm so excited, any tips on the swap? Things that will make my life easier? You seem to know a lot and I'm also a mechanic and like to ask a lot of questions ha
Congrats man! Few tips... Take off the front end, pull engine and trans together, replace as many gaskets as you can, do front suspension as well. Message me on instagram @ShopLifeTV if you have any questions

ShopLifeTV almost 2 years now, are the leds still good?
Will these fit a 01 325ci? I’m also trying to find your video of wrapping the headliner. Thanks for all the help bro.
Can you change the led bulbs?
thanks bro
after a year my whole left side went out :( time to break it open and see what happened
Did you ever fix it? Had the same thing just happen to me.
@@Mtherkelsen123 it’s that little black box. Can’t open that
Do these flicker on start up and then at regular intervals due to the system checking for broken bulbs??? I know the LED side marker ones behind the front wheel do because the small current is enough to make them come on.
Sometimes they do flicker for a second at startup, especially if your ground wire is not grounding properly.
Hey man I just replaced my tail lights and I was jw did you end up getting the rear light symbol come up on your dash. how do I get ride of that please man.
hey! just bought it.
i took it to the car, and the left side is working, the right is not.
Also, no indicators on both sides..
can anyone help?
So ricey. I like the celis ones
Where does the tail light ground wire go?
Wait so you don't have the dash light come up saying that your tail lights are out? How come others have this problem? I'm curious because I'm looking to replace my halogen tails.
From what website did you bought them?
u able to make the turning lights to white instead of yellow
You should have cleaned the area where the seal goes, you will possibly end up with a leak.
Why don’t my tail lights come on when my head lights turn on? They only illuminate when I brake.
My covers refuse to clip on the wires are all in the way
Man can you do a video on the brake pressure sensors which are on the master cylinder how to replace them ?
cheers .
I can, but it will be after the move, unless I am around the area working on something while stripping the cars. Thanks for watching!
Hey I have a question....after installing everything works great but my dash is showing that my rear lights are not working or that a bulb is out.
I have the same problem, can anybody advise ?
@@Frenchie67100 a friend told me yesterday I need to have the BMW software to turn off that light
pixelperfectnyc really appreciate that, thank you, have you tried it yet ?
@@Frenchie67100 not yet... but I do remember a year ago I had a guy work on my car that has the software and I remember him telling me that he was able to remove any codes
I cant find the link for the product.
Are these post facelift aren’t they?
damn pmo with the link for these
What year e46 is that? I've heard you can have issues with the LCM. I have a 2004 330i and I heard I can do an OEM LED conversion? Any info on that? I've googled but found nothing straight forward.
So took old rear light out,6 wire connector,put new one in,7 connector ???
I have a 2002 320 Ci PFL, will it fit and work without any problems ?
Hi, I have a 2002 convertible will these upgrade lights work on it?
Hey man, I was wondering if you know anywhere were I can buy that exact bulb holder just by itself, it is the part I'm missing from mine tailights
Hey. I would like to change my tail lights on my E46 facelift Touring to a LED light. I found a Led tail light on facebook marketplace for about 20 euros. One of them is cracked a littlebit on the left side. I have a perfect tail light lampshade, can i change it? Can i remove the cracked led tail light lampshade or you cant make it like on the headlight? Because there you can take apart easily.
I've just got a 2004 330ci and all goes well except in the morning it doesn't start. I think it might be cold because if I come back from work it works. But we're not talking about crazy cold, outside temp sensor showed 16 celcius. The car cranks. I'm guessing fuel pump but Idk?
Could be fuel pump and even the fuel filter. Any rough idling or check engine lights?
ShopLifeTV No none of that. Changed the fuel pump and car still won't start. It did start once with starter fluid and I pressed the gas pedal and it went, if not presing the gas pedal it would have died. It's like if there isn't fuel pressure when it's cold. I also have a crankshaft pos A code. I'm thinking of changing it but damn
TheMidnightNarwhal I have the same thing for my 2004 225Ci it's not a big deal. In the menu of the car it says put it on drive 3-5 minutes. 5 min the most if it's cold. You will get used to it buddy
@@JackRR15 try a fuel additive
@@richlee509 Haha, well my comment was 6 years ago. Anyways it turns out it was the fuel pump relay. When cold, because it was burned or something one prong, it didn't want to work.
Will I need to get my car flash” if I have a pre 2002 ? Or is everything plug and play.
Whats about lcm with led tail lights?? Do you need program?
I have a question. Im looking to get these on my 330ci but I want to change the turn signals to blue led. Would I be able to do that?
Not legal if you're in the US.
Mine have a tiny boulb on each side by itself, where does it go
Would these fit on the e46 touring? I have been looking for LED tail lights for my 99' 328i touring. Can you help me?
I had the taillight recall done where they redo the ground wires. I installed these taillights but the nighttime running tail lights don't turn on, is it a ground issue? Im going to ground to the chassis and see if that works.
Did you figure that out
@@morientesfan910 nah man, i tried grounding it myself to the car and they still didn't stay on. returned them for a replacement and the same issue occurred
Crap
Ok so I have the same issue, a ground burned out and on the oem housing you can put a ground on it. 50skid has a video where the same thing happened but the lights he puts on doesn't need the ground so here goes nothing
I have a 2006 330ci ZHP convertible, will these fit?
Hi i have lead lamps but sam time left white not vorking..
LEDs are weaker with time/use, but dont burn suddenly, so you may not even notice that they loosed 50% of brightness xD
Arek R. no
What no?
Which ones do you have?So I won’t get those🤣
What do you do when ur trunk light the one with the reverse light doesnt have a slot for the running light
What did you do with the other brown wiring?
can coupe tail lamp fit the convertible model??
What if u have to change tail light bulb
You should really put links of where you buy your stuff.
Cosmetic stuff from ebay, khoalty, or umnitza. Mechanical stuff from ecstuning, fcpeuro. Thanks for watching!
I got an issue with my led’s, left turn part doesn’t light up anymore anyone got a solution
The bulb covers for my taillights look like they do not fit even close to the OEM, and my harness has 3 stick on blocks, not just one. I’ve got a 2002 330Ci, what’s the deal with this??
this video was for a saloon not a coupe. they will not fit
Do I disconnect the battery ?
I have a 2004 325xi and my tail lights fit properly but there's a cut ground wire on the tail light itself, would I just solder the 2 ground wires?
Steve Ortiz what did ypu end up doing man
Jason, I know you're busy, but I need help with this exact tail light (except for a facelift car, 2004 E46). Just hooked them up, everything working except the driver side tail light. It won't light up at all. Bulb out error showing on my dash. Does it have anything to do with the blue ground wire, which now has nowhere to go? Or should I assume defective?
Hey, try hooking up the tail light on the other side and see if it cuts on
Thanks, great idea. Keep up the great work!
Where did u buy the lights?
Ebay
Hey man I installed some aftermarket tail lights and I get the light error on my dashboard what should I do? They just never go away?
What brand did you use? Did they have built in resistors?
How do you adjust aftermarket headlights on a BMW 325i 2001
There should be twisty knobs on the top of the housings that allow you to adjust them
These Eagle Eyes are garbage on pre 3/2003 M3 build dates. There is not enough current draw and sends false signals that the bulbs are out. Also the voltage spikes cause all the lights to blink on and off, intermittently due to the electrical protection circuit cutting in and out.
can someone help me with a video the same but in Romania??
just put them on and the lights are not working
PLEASE HELP. I have the exact same kind, for some reason I only get power going to the trunk interior light but no power anywhere on the tail light. Any thoughts?
The light might be broken or a fuse is blown
@@m1tch3l41 Thankyou. I figured it out. There’s a recall on the early model ‘04 for e46- a separate ground wire has to be spliced and wound with the ground on the tail light. Guess I’m an electrician now lol. Good times.
@Well okay yes which wire did you wound the ground wire to?
@@wellokayyes1266you can help me?? i have the same problem bro
thx for your tips on you tube!
I only have a little problem with my bmw e46 2001 flash light indicators they are going often very fast,so not all the time but most of the time...do you now what the reason for this is?
thanks in advance!
Can someone send me the link to these please
Great video, is this Selena's BMW?
Yes it is!
Don't be stupid, don't install these cheap e-bay LED lights... My gf 316i has exactly the ones as in video. First time i saw them, they looked really nice. But after about 6 monts, some diods failed and after week or so, they failed all. It's impossible to get just spare parts with LED diods, so either you buy whole new lights or somewhere get bunch of LED diods with different parameters and try what fits best and also get someone with right equipment (believe me - just solder is not enought) to replace them. Also they sometimes randomly blinks or turns off for fraction of second. Ewwww. Now I appreciate how nice is just replace bulb and dont care :) Thats my experience...
Alien X nah
Love u
how much they cost, 10$ for pair? )))) on the video you can see broken leds...
xodes1 there are no broken leds, is just the angle how you see it.... lol
Wtf. Does no one want to show how to set up the fucking ground with these led tail lights
Also looking for a visual with that, did you ever find anything?
