Hi all,

This has been probably asked countless times however I know of a few individuals who have purchased angel eyes for their E90's and wasn't too happy with the light output.

I know most people recommend Depo angel eyes. I want to tear away from the halogen stocks and focus on getting projectors.

Anyone have any recommendations?

Hi I have a 2005 model 320d se uk model..I want to add Angel eyes...what's the option Avaialable and how expensive are they??

I have a 2006 BMW e90 and I was asking myself the same question a year ago. I ended up just swapping headlights and bought myself some e90 LCI halogen and customized them myself, unless you already have the xenon version for the pre lci this is my best option. I just thing the pre-lci headlights are ugly.

I also used umnitza v2.5 Angel eyes and morimoto mini projectors

IT looks good..I have black grill too..I think it's so much better..your wheels are good too...mine is black 320d...just want to do Angel eyes to start with...can I not but Angel rings from eBay to stick infront?? If I have to to go by your option how much would it cost altogether?? Also what's the diameter of these rings if I have to buy it off from eBay??

i also went from pre-lci halogens to lci halogens and added the lux v2 led for rings. i think it is a great relatively inexpensive error free upgrade. previously i thought the ugly amber lens and those pre lci halogens really let the car down. now with my oem black line rear tails and the lci halogens the car looks great (for an 08!). They are whiter than this pic shows.

It can be done, but I don't know of any angel eyes options for it. The reason being is that the Headlight bowl of the e90 pre-lci intercept at some point and make the angel eyes look ugly and not original. Here is a post so you can understand what I'm saying better. I uses 11" outer and 9" inner

noticed that the first pictures are from an e90 pre lci headlight bowl and the last ones are from a lci.

yeah you should be able to do it. It's an easy swap I did the job myself and just spend some money on parts. I got a deal on the headlights and spend like 150 dlls each and the angel eyes with the projector were like close to $400, but it was worth it, I get compliments on them all the time.

Hi this is my headlight assembly...if I have to buy Angel halo rings from eBay, what sizes do I buy for each light? also what do I do where it intersects?

[Jaronbwall]

Adding halo rings to a halogen assembly is stupid IMO. If not done correctly you will be opening/resealing the headlights over and over again. Just upgrade to a set of LCI style w/ halos and save the hassle.

It would be the exact same process to open up a set of halogens or xenons.

The same can be said about modding a xenon set.

Unless you're retrofitting xenon projectors, then I don't think it's stupid.

I paid like $50 for one and about $125 for the other headlight. had to stalk ebay and the forums for a while to get these deals. many cheap ones are available but they tend to have broken mounting tabs. one of mine needed some tab repair the other was fully intact. o then had about another $200 in bulbs including the lux v2 led for the rings. well worth it to me.

Thanks...I'm looking for a cheap Angel eye projector

Because my car don't have pre Lci, after buying projector headlight and installing, what do I do to make them as drl..when I flick through my switch options I don't have the car key memory option for my car

I'm not understanding your question but if it was my car I do what sd_luis did and swap headlight assemblies. Customizing them is a much easier starting point.
