Very nice.

Hey, its me b1gmac88.. I got the 8k which are very white with the slightest tint of blue. Not really noticeable. give a great aftermaket look. Our HID kit comes with a 2 year warranty so if anything were to happen we would replace them.

I didnt cut notches on the headlight tops. They sealed back up perfectly.

When I had 8000K GP Thunder Real HID bulbs in the past they were purple with no blue hue at all.. What color would that be?

Purplish blue would be around 22k

I JUST BOUGHT A '08 328i. IT CAME WITH STOCK HALOGEN HEAD LIGHTS. I'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIND A GOOD STORE OR WEBSITE IN NYC TO BUY AND INSTALL NEW HID ANGEL EYES BUT I CAN'T FIND ANY. THE ALPINE ANGEL EYES LOOKS GOOD AND I'M INTERESTED IN BUYING BUT SINCE MY CAR DIDN'T COME WITH STOCK ANGEL EYES IS THERE ANOTHER THING THAT I WOULD NEED TO BUY? THIS IS MY FIRST BMW SO MY APOLOGIES IF I SOUND STUPID.

Shipped Cali to PA in 3 days, huh...

...how 'bout that.

AlpineG05 · 05-14-2010, 10:07 PM

Funny you get three day shipping from Cali to pa when it's taken almost a week for my hid fogs to come in from la to central Cali (2 hours north of la)

Yeah. My Alpine order was placed May 2nd. Nothing yet, but Alex is trying to make it right.

i'm trying to have patience but it's wearing thin.

do you at least have a tracking number? i haven't received anything!

WO1_rene · 06-04-2010, 03:52 AM

So I have a question. I live in Germany because i'm in the military. I want to know, do these guys ship to APO address, and second, will I have to worry about the intensity of the light turning the lamp covers clear appearance to a yellowish looking film on them?

bimmerwing · 06-04-2010, 07:49 AM

do those xenons run a capacitor like the fogs do? if not how much are they, and where to get them

AlexMac@Alpine · 06-04-2010, 11:25 PM

Yes, we ship to APO, the light will not turn the lamp covers yellow in anyway.

Got my hid ae from Alex about a month ago and no problems. They are the brightest ae I have seen. Also the customer service is excellent and returns all phone calls and pms. Anyone local please take advantage of the free local install from Alex...

syer16 · 06-16-2010, 11:11 PM

here's where i hid my stuff... Some of the install pics were different from what i got, i.e. cables lengths, hardware, etc. All worked out the same but I took some shots in weird angles...

How hot do these bulbs get? No issues with melting anything in the headlight? What wattage are they?
