Angel Eyes Done

eddiem74 · 02-09-2013, 02:05 AM

So I updated my E92 Angel eyes and was just wondering what everyone typically does about the front fogs, leave yellow or also change? What do the LCI cars have?

Nice, what angels are they?

I changed the angel eyes to white led, but the fogs were white anyway!

I am sure that they are just the standard HB4 bulb!?

I just left my fogs with standard bulbs, not like they're on much anyway. Also I have read that the yellow light helps to penetrate the fog better than white light.

I got them off a BMW Indy here in Ireland who imports lots of Angel eyes for various BMW models. I actually trialed this set for him to ensure it was error free, etc... He was charging around €100 for a set.

I believe he imports from the US, here are some pics of the box they came in. The Model number listed on the box was: LD-8H8V W.

Yeah kind of where I am at but it does look a little odd when they are on.

On the newer LCI models are the fogs white? I am not sure if user ssc330d above is LCI or not?

I cant say for certain if they had been changed previously - but why change the fogs to white and leave the angel eyes yellow?

I know that the bulbs themselves have "HB4" stamped on them, which is the standard bulb as far as I am aware?

Dont use them , they are rated low power (v shape). I had these style for a year and a half. Rach bulb puts out no more than 6watss and if u go n buy on evay they are 54.99. Instead go for the 4 chip 20w (each) cree led bulbs from ebay. I have a set cost me 50ish pounds and they are very bright.

DavS1 · 02-11-2013, 04:33 PM

What still annoys me is, a stupid halogen bulb gives a yellow light but illiminates both angel eyes brightly, where as all these people making V LED's, 4x6w or whatever cree bulbs, still can't illuminate the outer angel eye the same as the inner...wtf?? has anyone found a fix for this on PRE LCI cars???? I want both halos BRIGHT!!
