Yea I was iffy when I seen the seller's previous sales on " projectors ". Here's the box for one headlight

Ruddigger · 01-19-2016, 04:33 PM

Lol, "angle eyes"

Looks good but I'm not a fan of the light eyebrows on the black car.

Been eyeing the MARS headlights for some time though. Looks great!

Is the output of HID through inferior projector still pretty decent?

Wasn't really for the light grey eyelid neither but I grew into it. Looks great from the side.
The HID's will be installed this weekend and I'll be installing matching fogs too

If you don't want to have to worry about the wiring not and such you could just get some silver star ultra bulbs because I'm sure they are better then the cheap ones that usually come with aftermarket headlights.

Should be good with the wiring. We'll see how it turns out this weekend

Not sure about that model of bulb specifically, but I always find "high performance" bulbs to have a very short life span, usually around 12 months or less.

Got mine in, and installed them this morning. This is the LCI version, if there's even a difference. The low beam is an H7 bulb, the high is an H1. Installation wasn't too painful, the angel eyes light up great, the actual projectors... Well, I can't tell yet. It's too bright outside. I did replace the H7 low bulb with a Philips Diamond Vision bulb that I had, so once it gets dark outside, I'll see if it's tolerable without an HID conversion.

One connector didnt seem to go anywhere, what is this?

Looks good!

The white eyebrows are bugging me already. I didn't realize how white they were. And also, the LED's in the eyebrow are just SMD's soldered to a board, they look janky. The next thing is to find a way to cover all that shit up. Maybe some limo tint over it? I dunno.

Still, I like the overall look of them. The blacked out housings and the new style angel eyes, should look good with my 1M bumper, whenever I get around to painting and installing it.

Sheesh! Lookin good brehh! Show us pics at night of the beam output. That wire is a mystery right now. Two of my friends have no clue what it's for.

GSTiDDY · 01-22-2016, 05:38 PM

How'd you get the Angel eyes to work without the led side lights

Ruddigger · 01-22-2016, 05:48 PM

I had it coded. Angel eyes on at all times, amber only comes on as turn signals. Looks so much better.

Much cleaner lol, I'll do that this weekend as well.

Ruddigger · 01-22-2016, 05:54 PM

I think some Pre-LCI's cannot be coded? A friend of mine told me only certain ones can do it. Might want to look into that?

Hope they can lol. I'll see whassup when my friend codes out the errors from the hids this weekend

Ruddigger · 01-22-2016, 09:10 PM

I definitely need to figure out how to adjust these things.

I think you need FRM 2 to code the angel eyes and corners. Possibly mid '07 onward but not sure.

jenyusheng · 01-23-2016, 11:33 AM

Angel Eye is so coooool and brighter than my stock headlight, but I have one problem now, if I have the original HID Xenon headlight in my E90 now, how do I install this halogen headlight?

Just remove my stock HID type headlight and install this one halogen headlight?

Is the plug of HID headlight as the same as Halogen headlight?

No need to coding or cancel any function?

Dark_Knight_335 · 01-24-2016, 12:38 PM

Hopefully they don't form condensation on you. Good luck with them.

Mike. · 01-24-2016, 12:49 PM

looks good! if my custom rings die again im going this route.

Ruddigger · 01-24-2016, 01:07 PM

So, this morning leaving for work I hit my turn signal and got the quick blink that usually means you have a bulb out. Bing! Bulb check turned on, left front and right front turn signal errors. A few miles down the road hit my blinker again, all back to normal. Hmm..
