Head lights advise

palitsyn · 02-11-2014, 02:19 PM

I am thinking of updating my halogens to something new. Here are my choice - http://autoenhance.co.uk/default/bmw...-lighting.html (these guys used to be called m style i think).

Which ones would you go for?

I don't quite understand the difference between:

http://autoenhance.co.uk/default/bmw...onversion.html

http://autoenhance.co.uk/default/bmw...indicator.html

http://autoenhance.co.uk/default/bmw...mps-black.html

Thanks!

No, to fit Xenons will cost you around £1000 to do properly.

Anything wrong with the ones above?

They are after market lights and not considered as good as OEM ones.

Also they are no good for the oncoming traffic as the beam pattern is poor.

I'm currently bidding on a pair of lci headlights for my pre lci E91 what halo bulbs did you get?

CapnCook · 02-23-2014, 09:34 AM

Wouldn't you also need to fit a bumper with headlight washers to pass an MOT?

Why?

Alex.J · 02-23-2014, 11:03 AM

If you fit xenons you need auto level and washer jets to do it properly!

Full oem fit, glad the OP listened to advice and bought oem parts!

Great work!

Did they plug straight into your original wiring or did you have to get an adaptor/connector of some kind?

I have a pair of genuine lci halogen headlights on their way delivery towards the end of the week. I will put my philips extreme H7 bulbs in because they are whiter and lighter than the original bulbs. What and where do I look for replacing the angel eye bulbs? Do I look into led bulbs to get that white look I see on so many of your cars on here?
