I'll try to find something. They were MTEC 35W H8 HID lookalike or something similar - and it was 7 years ago

Never anthropomorphise computers. They hate that.

Re: Angel eyes led bulb?
I've spent a small fortune on several makes & types of LED set up, to plug into the original fitment of the E53 ring light illumination...
The bottom line is that the design is weak & will never achieve what the newer cars look like.
The modern BMW vehicles have either a much bigger light guide or an LED ring that is effective.
I made the decision to remove my head lamp units, cut the lens covers off the vehicle & will fit the high intensity HALO LED rings at some point in the summer when I a sure of a few nice hot/dry days...
...
even cheap HALO LED rings look much better than the 2000>2006 OEM fitted units with the light guide.
I found some LED HALO rings on E-bay for about £30 that are so bright & quoted as 60 watts per ring x 4, that you could drive at night easily with them alone...
So,
when Hot days in May arrive, lights out, HALO's in & decent rings fitted.... and a pelasant day fiddling in the sunshine... Yay

Re: Angel eyes led bulb?
Damn all these bulbs are expensive and we are not sure if they'd look like the newer cars so I just went ahead and bought the normal yellow bulb and even that was £31 from eurocarparts.

Re: Angel eyes led bulb?
Could have got the Osram Nightbreaker Unlimited for that money.
I'm pleased with the outcome with mine.

I thought MTEC bulbs were really the only option to get the white led. Although they are a bit pricey. This is the official site in the states but they can be bought here easy enough - http://www.mteclightingusa.com/product_ ... v3-e60.htm

Re: Angel eyes led bulb?
The Night-Breaker modification is better, but like mine they don't seem amazing or even vaguely dazzling
For £30+ of fancy LED's, they just don't deliver.
When the weather gets better, I'm going to cut open my headlamps & fit some soopa-doopa bright halo rings & do away with the factory fit bits altogether me thinks.

Re: Angel eyes led bulb?
Seems it is a bit of a mine field as always for LED bulbs. So many overstating the products they sell and not enough delivering as normal

Hi Bo88in,
Agreed, any one would think these ebay product advert will answer your dreams, & illuminate the galaxy for our hard-earned £$35.... when they are generally Bloody Useless.
