AFAIK no one makes one of these LED bulbs for our headlights. Don't know why either.

Probably because it's a PITA to open up our sealed housings.

Is there nothing that is flexible and small that can be feed into our angel eye housing from the back that would light up brighter?

Something like this?

Well that would be to replace the whole angel eye with LEDs like tekarbon does. I was wondering why we don't have a replacement brighter bulb like every other BMW. This thread started to go into it, saying that the problem is that the bulb and socket are one piece from BMW, is that the only reason?

I believe that's our problem.

Some people tried to retrofit with LEDs in that housing and IIRC it ended up with melting housing carriers.
