Angel eye kit - headlight retrofit??

[Bimmer360]

AE = Angel Eyes
CCFL = Cold Cathode Floresent Lighting

I would recommended getting the HID xenon, since it's like HDTV compared to analog. The halogen Angel eyes looks dull so you might want the CCFL ones.

This is the best aftermarket and close to OEM for prefacelift X5s. When you have the HID Xenon and CCFL combo, youw ill be amazed on how it looks!

Like others have said, one option are our Projector53 kits. These are complete headlight replacements that swap out the entire assembly for projector based xenons and built in angel eyes. The angel eyes are 6000k to match the xenons and they are backed by our lifetime warranty.

jlevi, do you install AEs? If so, how much you charge for install?

Wow! Thanks a lot for your all your replies! I feel I'm getting closer to a decision.

So, I went to the site and there are a few options to choose from. What do I pick? I want it to be as close as the original oem fitted headlights! If you can please write down what I need to order I'll get on it asap! And will you ship to Norway, Oslo - and for how much?

Thanks again!!!

We work with a shop that can do the install for you. Typical headlight install runs about $250.

For the most OEM setup, go with the 4500k xenons (99% OEM match) and do not select the 50w high output or xenix high beams. You can reuse your stock high beam bulbs and the 50w output will be brighter than OEM. Of course, if you want maximum light output, go with the 50w option but if you are looking for a direct OEM match, the standard 35w output will suffice.

Hope that helps, let me know if you have any other questions!

I know there are several performance shops that fellow X5World members have used. I would try posting in the regional forums to find recommendations.
