Assume angel eyes == corona rings ? Seems like many tried already to install xenons from halogen but runs into some kind of issues. So i think i am going t ogive up on xenons but is it possible to change the bulb to white one instead of this orange color? Is that tough to do ?

I also need a little help in here. Sorry to bother you guys.

My understanding is low beam and high beam for day time and night time. Are the Angel eyes is for parking light only?

Assume if I am correct. do I need to buy the H7 and H8 bulbs extra as well or the LUX 5.0 will cover everything.

I just recently got my 323i and the yellow sleepy lights are bothering me after couple of hundred miles.

Thanks

So in conclusion, is the MDS LUX H8 Rings a better version of LUX 5.0? or do I need to put them both in my car because LUX 5.0 is only for angel eyes and LUX H8 is for the low beam night time.

Bare with me here, I only have the halogen lights... =(

This is an Halogen ANgel eye, right?

yooooooo · 11-29-2009, 08:29 PM

^
yes

rkick08 · 11-29-2009, 10:43 PM

yes those are angel eyes. the bulb for that is NOT an H8 the H8 bulbs are only for the xeon angel eyes. Read the beging of the thread for more info.

There is currently no solution besides rigging the wiring and installing RD LEDs a DIY is on this thread on page 7 http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...=256525&page=7

mds82 (the creator of LUX) is working on a plug and play for the LCI halogen angel eyes.

Hey,
I have the same car 2009 323i. If you put the light switch to teh far right. That is basically the high beam. In this mode Angel Eyes will light up. However on regular low beam it will not. I drive around with High beam...it really is the same bulb[H7] as low beam

Hi all, i just bought WeissLicht Brand LED Halo Upgrades for E90 LCI with halogen headlights.

Removing the stock angel eyes bulbs seems like impossible. After removing the screws, I couldnt figure out how to unclipp the bulbs from the headlight. There is an easy to break white casing attaching the bulb to the headlight, any ideas guys?

Please help

you dont have to take the screws out. remove the plug and twist the light to remove, same process as taking a fog bulb out, twist, and pull.

can you please post the picture of these bulbs?? as well as after they are installed

GL

Thanks

yooooooo · 12-15-2009, 12:40 AM

please post pics after installation thanks

MAW · 12-15-2009, 06:47 AM

A stupid question. Push and twist in which direction, clockwise or anti?

Here we go

dt_328xi · 12-15-2009, 11:07 AM

It doesn't really matter. I just installed those last weekend. The connector is a clip shaped like this:

The headlight rings are oval shaped so if you twist in either directions they will pop out of the clip. I twisted towards the middle of the car for both clips.

The install is not that hard. I posed some pics of the lights here : http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...ssLicht&page=2

^ correct.. any pics with the low lights on and the halos on in the day??

Thanks!

dt_328xi · 12-15-2009, 12:59 PM

Yeah I installed the second one this weekend. I actually went a step above and beyond the installation requirements. I took off the plastic clip on the end of the original bulb. Drilled 2 holes in it and used it to align the WeissLicht bulbs to make sure they were perfect. The light output is more even now.

I will try to post up some picks later tonight when I get home from work.

dt_328xi · 12-15-2009, 08:17 PM

I took some pics this morning. It was pretty cloudy so no direct sunlight.

I tried to take a pic in direct sunlight the other day when I only had one light installed. The light is shining directly on the left headlight. Even though they are bright, you can't really see them
