DIY: BMW e92 replacing the Angel Eyes

I was unhappy with the OEM lights for the angel eyes on my BMW e92 so I decided to replace them with aftermarket lights provided by LUX.  The difference is very dramatic.  The following is a how-to on replacing your H8's.

Stock is on the right and the after market is on the left.
Before
After
1) Locate the compartment for the H8's. It's right above the headlight unit.
2) There are two tabs you push on with a flat head screwdriver.

3) Lift up the compartment cover.
4) The bulb rotates clockwise in order to be unlocked and pulled out.
5) When placing the new bulb go 'back' in first and the front gets inserted. Then rotate the bulb counter clockwise until it gets fastened.
6) When clipping in the power unit to the vehicle make sure the grooves match.
