Angel Eye Upgrade
I want to upgrade the headlights on my 2009 e90 but the code on my headlights is HCR which from what ive read is halogen and all the upgrades ive seen are only for xenon. Are there any angel eye upgrades i can use without xenons? Ive looked at Cree and LUX but those both say your car needs xenons.

You would more than likely be looking at a full headlight conversion- not cheap. Others may be able to explain more.

Wait, so you have the corona rings, just not xenons?

The install requires a bit of work vs. the w/ xenon, which I just did last night.

If you want to keep your headlights intact, Lux or HighPerformanceBulbs. If you wanna crack em open and go nuts, OSS.

Yep halogens. I do see the glass corona rings (I think) along the outside. Not too familiar with the halogen setups, but as said prior, Lux LEDs may be an option.
