Purchased Angel Eyes on the online marketplace EBay.

Greetings, gentlemen.

I have recently purchased 2 sets of angel eyes (4 halo rings) from EBay for my E46 330i (2005). Each ring consists of a black and a red wire, resulting in a total of 4 positive and 4 negative wires. My intention is to route these wires to the fuse box located on the passenger side of the cabin. I am wondering if there is a connector available that can be used to join the 4 wires together and connect them to a single fuse. Additionally, I would like to know if it is possible to ground all 4 wires together to a common grounded terminal.

Here is the item I purchased: Amber with 4 pieces measuring 146mm each. It is a set of four Cotton White Amber Light LED Angel Eye Halo rings with daytime running lights (DRL) for BMW models E36, E38, E39, and E46. Unfortunately, I am unable to provide a link since this is my first post.

Simply use a set of blue splice crimp connectors.

Are you aware of the specific connection required for the fuse box? Which kind of automated teller machine (ATM) are you referring to: air traffic control (ATC), traditional ATM, or mini ATM?

Previously, I used a similar method on my e46 vehicle, with this particular device that enables automated activation and deactivation of the lights upon engine start and stop.
This was the first one I encountered, however there are several more to choose from.

However, I would need to route this to the trunk where the battery is located, correct? In order to reach the fuse located in the glovebox, I would need a longer cable in general.

If you do not need the yellow lights to dim, it is not necessary to connect them. However, in the UK, it is important to have this functionality for the MOT test.

Indeed, I am now located in Canada. I intended to insert the colour red and connect the black wire to the ground.

Our MOT inspectors in the UK will fail a vehicle if the lights do not dim when switched on. I am unsure about the procedure in your nation.

I linked mine to the terminals located behind the hood.
