E53 Pre-facelift Angel Eye upgrade

Post by RoShamBo » Mon Jul 28, 2014 6:39 pm

Hi,

Been wanting to upgrade my 2003 E53 (4.4i [pre-facelift, non-xenon) to angel eyes for a while and narrowed it down to these 2 - which look like the same units - the ones on eBay come with brighter bulbs for free.

The M Style lights make no mention of self levelling motors while the eBay ones do.

Would the standard bulbs produce an orange type light (which I am trying to avoid) - so would the brighter super white bulbs offered with the eBay lights look more whiter (i.e. better !)

Any thoughts welcome

Thanks

Ro.

If you are going to change/upgrade the lights why not go for HID with Angel eyes?

Try this

I just put BMW X5 Angel Eye headlamps into Ebay search two came up £289 and £269 neither have bulbs or ballast. HID kits are plentiful so it shouldn't be hard to get what you want
