Halo ring halogen retro fit?

bmwspeed01 · 02-23-2014, 06:54 AM

Newbie question sorry guys! My pre lci 2008 E91 has halogen standard headlights which suffer from condensation. I've upgraded the bulbs to Philips Extreme vision bulbs massive improvement. My question is can you buy and retro fit halogen headlights that have led halo rings?

Just done some searching on past threads regarding headlights. If I can find a set of lci headlights can someone confirm these will fit my pre lci E91 with no modifications needed and that they have angel eyes?

Yes straight fit, plug and play

Yep, as above. A bit of a twat to fit as you have to remove the bumper and the bolts behind the light on the carriers are a real pain but once they're on, they're brilliant.

bmwspeed01 · 02-24-2014, 12:51 PM

Any recommendations what bulb to put in the angel eyes to make them stand out more?

I fitted my lci headlights today to my pre lci E91 and they look awesome. They are amazingly plug and play. I fitted all new bulbs as a precaution, as I had the lights out and had unrestricted access, philips vision H7's and new PY24WSV+ indicator bulbs which are silver but flash orange and 20w cree leds for the angel eyes. In my opinion a really worthwhile upgrade to a pre lci car.

I keep wanting to do this but not sure how long im gonna keep the car for.
If you use iphone get the bimmer forums app and you can upload on there, on my ipad i use an app called picup, on computer use photobucket or alike

bmwspeed01 · 03-06-2014, 03:53 PM

Only picture I took of my new lci headlights that I fitted.

Looking to get mine done soon, how much it cost you on ebay for the lci's?

£250 plus £20 postage from Germany. They are genuine RHD BMW lci lights that a guy in Germany bought thinking they would fit his car but his car was left hand drive hence he had to sell them.

Good effort, considering an upgrade to the 20w LEDs now myself... mine are 10w, just don't know if you'd see the difference for the cost

They quote it's a 20w package but I think that means they are 10w each side.

What's the wattage as standard guys? I really fancy these 20 ones
