Angel eyes

terminator2k2 · 09-06-2014, 05:53 AM

Hi there my 06 e90 has standard halogen headlamps with no angels, is there any kits you can buy to add angels to them as possibly day time running lights? Without causing bulb errors?

Xenon retrofit is out of the question really as it just isn't worth the money

buy lci lights is best way

or you could open your lights and buy this type of light http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3908660531...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

in different size , that's what I am looking into at the moment just looking for a knackered light to get some measurements

Do not run CCFL Angel eyes. They are terribly unreliable.

Fitted to my TT around 4 years ago , still working fine .Same with the my z4 . Alot of people came to swap faulty led ring to ccfl's

I'm only fitted led's to e92 as i could get ccfl's in that size .

They are fragile, require ignitors which fail often and also from my experience as well as others, sometimes do not ignite in colder weather.

LEDs are more reliable when they are built properly, and have less electrical parts involved so less chance of failure. They also work in all temperatures.

Hence why CCFL people upgrade to LED lol

But i do prefer the uniformity of CCFLs
