The only drawback would be if you use the DRLs they would now be dimmer. I don't use them anyway.

****Anyone with better knowledge and wiring diagram want to attempt this?****

I wonder if there is any way to verify that the wires are compatable this way? Does anyone know for sure?

What I am really wondering is if there would be a way to "turn off" the loss in power to the inner ring once the Xenons are on. Maybe it is something that is programmed and done automatically, but that would lead me to believe that this could be changed....

Here are a couple pics in daytime. The inner rings show up pretty well. The outer rings are hard to see.

damn, your ride looks sweet AW bro.

Thanks

Just need to get wheels, sport springs and the aero front lip and I'll be done. But then I'll have to stop coming to this forum, because I get so many good ideas from here. Its hard to stop.

Hoen-usa.com
They are the Xenonmatch bulbs, I just checked their site and they are out of the bulb until like 1-25-07.

here is another pic with the hoen Xenon match bulbs for the angel eyes
in person the color is alittle more blueish/white(might be my camera phone)
definitely noticable change from stock (compared to my friends 335, unfortunately no pic yet)

Looks sick...
But i'm just wondering why the inside ring is much brigther? It seems as though there's only one angel eye on each side...
Is it adjustable?

STE92VE · 01-21-2007, 11:06 AM

OK, now I'm totally confused. I want a very white look, not bluish for the angel eyes. Do I go with the Mtec super whites, the GP Thunder or the Hoens xenon match?

The inside ring is the one that is lit, the outside ring just reflects from the inside ring.

Definately not the gp thunders they give a blue/purple look/white

xenon match look the most white, then m tech super white

6SpeedMan · 01-21-2007, 12:22 PM

so what should I buy GP thunder, or the xenon match?

I'm ordering some in a few minutes.

And if I buy some from Hoen, is a bulb pair enough for both angles or do I buy 2 bulb pair's?

You need one pair for the angel eyes.

It looks like you're cornering lights are on , but your wheels are straight. How did you do this?

I don't think they are on, I think its just a reflection or brightness of the angel eyes.

Magic or not, I like the look of the Hoens that you show and will probably go this route for angel eyes, fogs and cornering lights

I did use the Hoens for the fogs on my M3. They were a very good match for the Xenon headlights. Even with me using the fogs quite a bit, they lasted the 3 years I had the car.

On the coupe are the amber lights on regularly or not?
