As above.
You could also fit LED rings to your headlights but the time and expense of that makes buying LCI unit a no-brainer. PS I've done the conversion

Can someone confirm whether or not the Halogen to lci Angel Eye swap for a pre lci e90 definitely involves removing the front bumper, if so, are there any hidden problems to watch out for.
Thanks for any advice. |

You can't fit the halogen's with angel eye rings. You can either buy LCI halogen headlights, which come with angel eye rings. Or buy the xenon headlights and do a conversion.

Thanks guy's
Nick, do you know if the front bumper has to be removed to facilitate the swapping over of headlights, irrespective of which headlights I end-up choosing? Cheers. |

I think by lenses you mean headlights? Sometime I have a hard time understanding you Limies. Anyway, yes the bumper has to be removed to be able to take out the headlight unit.

Well I'm a naturalized American I was born in Poland, and got "off the boat" when I was a kid. I do have family in England, don't remember the town though. One of my grandfather's brother's went there during WWII, he was a RAF air craft mechanic.

Not taking a sale from G-10 because I'm not ready to sell yet (still on the car). But I'll be selling a set of LCI halogen lights along with some other bits very soon.
