Angel eyes installation on factory headlamp

I was wondering if anyone has bought the angel eyes for their TL-S 3rd Gen. But not the the whole headlight housing w/ the angel eyes already in them, i'm talking about just the angel eyes itself where you have to open up your headlamp and install them yourself? My friend has an 07 M3 and he purchased just the angel eyes and opened his headlamp and installed them himself and he said it was fairly easy, so I was wondering if it is fairly easy to open the headlamp on the 07 TL-S 3rd Gen? And if anyone has had any problems with those type of angel eyes? Here's the link: http://www.uniquestyleracing.com/20actlremouh.html

It's not as easy as the BMW. I had a E46 330i and installed angel eyes on mine and it was a breeze. Didn't have to bake the headlights or anything. With the TL you are gonna have to bake the headlamps to open them and reseal them.

The newer BMWs use permaseal to seal the headlights so its almost impossible to do anything on those lights but the older models such as E46 3 series came with lenses that came right off by undoing a few tabs hence halo/angel eye install is very easy.

In case of the 3G, you have to bake the lights open and install the halos.

Here is a set that got completed today with CCFLs.
