LED Bulbs for Halo Headlights?

So I ordered F30 style aftermarket halo headlights

https://www.ebay.com/itm/HID-Type-20...gsu5TohWVBwFew

I don't know what bulb cover looks like compared to stock.
I've seen people drilling back cover since LED bulb sticks out too far.

Is there a bulb that is plug and play for stock headlights?

Angel eyes light up in white color. I want regular lights (H7) and Daytime lights to be white as well. Does highbeam bulb act as daytime light?

I am guessing it's ok to buy one with good reviews from amazon?


As long as it's white color and little brighter than regular ugly yellow bulb, I will be happy.

You looking for an H7 LED for the low beam, is that what you're asking?

Yeah. It looks like I have to get right Retainer rings with it?

And I believe all LED bulbs stick out too much so I will have to leave the cover open or drill the holes...

Did you lose the retainer clip?

Most LED Kits do come longer then a typical halogen bulb, so depending on the cover clearance you may need to drill a hole or leave the cover off.
