Look for OEM headlights on this forum. If your looking for angel eyes you could go 09-10 LCI OEM halogens that have factory angel eyes. You would still need to get LUX led bulbs for them to be bright. Good Luck.

I purchased my AEs from them. If you are interested in AEs, I heard that the best in the $250 range are from Lux8 and M-Tech. Good luck!!!

Anything relating to electronics or lighting relating to the BIMMER I would not turn to ebay for. Your best source for your BMW parts would come from those on this forum who recommend manufacturers they have done business from.
I am new to the forum and to the BMW world. I sourced my interior lighting from high performance bulbs and for the AEs and fogs, e92-lighting.com. I am pleased with the results thanks to those who recommended HPB. E92 is very responsive with the questions I had, which influenced my purchasing decission. I got my AEs today from them. I will be installing them tomorrow. If I do not like them, I will return them and try a different set of AEs. I also purchased replacement fog lights from them. I have to sort out how those are removed and replaced so that I can judge how they perform.

Dont put your hands in the faith of ebay when it comes to your electronics. I do admit, I did get my M-Series speed pedals from ebay. Looks good and solidly built. Got to get some time to put them in.

first thing i noticed is that it says it has CCFL ange eyes but in the pics they showed full LED angel eyes so thats a red flag, i have depo hedlights and i think they look good but im baking them open and going with an OSS style. these are also expensive imo, i got mine for $150 with bulbs, balasts, and error cancelers form the forum. i would look around a bit first

Just get your current ones custom fabricated.
Contact OSS or 180 customs. Gotta pay to play man... It's a BMW not a civic.

You ask about buying headlights on ebay and on other threads you state you know they are junk. Why waste peoples time when you know the answer. Put on your BIG BOY PANTS and spend the money. You own a BMW not a HONDA CIVIC.

The DEPO factory seal is so-so, if you reseal it properly with Koito butyl it's not going to leak.
But there are two major issues with aftermarket headlight housings: 1) the crappy halogen projectors 2) the error codes on our finicky cars. The crappy projectors are well...crappy. The beam is streaky, the cutoff is terrible, and the output is like having two flashlights taped to your hood. If you want quality, bixenon output, you can either buy the DEPOs and rerofit quality bixenon projectors in to them (see threads--first guy uses the Mini H1 projector, second uses the FX-R 3.0 (both have advantages and disadvantages http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=731237 http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=687893&highlight=morimoto) Or you can retrofit projectors/AE rings in to your own headlights (see HIDplanet) OR you can have ONEighty Customs retrofit projectors/AE rings in to your own headlights (they have great prices and will do pretty much whatever you want. And the errors can be coded out easily. You have to turn off bulb check, and tell your car that you have non-adaptive xenon lights. There's a thread around here somewhere that I can find if you're interested. You won't have to use any error cancellers, and it won't flicker on startup or throw any codes if it is coded properly. And don't be scared by the idea of coding--it's really simple and, if it all goes to hell in a bobsled, it's completely reversible! Last edited by rollinstone157; 10-03-2012 at 08:38 AM.. |
