Oem vs Aftermarket angel eyes

Hello,

So this may be kind of a dumb question, but I just needed some clarification. So I have a 2010 e92 328i msport and I have stock xenon "white" headlights. Recently one of my "angel eyes" went out and I'm looking into a replacement and was wondering what the difference was between stock and aftermarket. And if I should spend more than 60 dollars to replace them. Thanks in advance.

the oem or stock AE bulbs are halogens,

with aftermarket, there's tons of options but the consensus is to get a respectable vendor's LED AE bulbs, they are brighter and will match the "white" light from your xenon headlights...

Nobody is debating that. The questions was asked about the AE bulbs which are halogen on all Pre LCI coupes. The LED AE's look much better.
