Current LED Angel Eye Options e53

Passenger halo light went out. Figured I'd upgrade the lights while I'm replacing them.

What LED angel eyes are available for a 2006 X5 3.0i (E53)? I have LUX angel eye bulbs on my e91 and they are great...

I saw some older posts with options, but doesn't look like they are still available.

I am with you. I have an angel eye bulb out and have not replaced it yet. I would love to brighten and whiten the light of my 2006 4.8is angel eye.

This has been discussed countless times. Unless you swap out the OE rings, there isn't that much difference in brightness that can come through no matter how bright the actual bulb gets.

Value-wise, there's not much that can beat this => http://www.xoutpost.com/1065482-post3.html

It's down to just $11 and change now

For pre-LCI trucks these are going to be your best two options. They will work for LCI trucks as well but involves baking the headlights open. I went with the first option because I prefer they way they look inside the headlight vs. the cob versions. The cob versions do light up more evenly though so it's a matter of what look you are going for. I've used this ebay seller for many (10+) angel eye installs over the years. Only had one failure of a inverter/resister. Rings were fine.
