Question Angel eye kit - headlight retrofit??
Hi guy's...
I want to change my "ordinary" headlights to the angel eye look. I have a x5-03 and would like to have a complete kit! Not just the rings...

I'm not that technical on cars so I figured changing the whole thing probably would be the easiest...

What kit do you recommend - that doesn't cost too much!

Thanks...

actually, its better for you to replace the whole headlight. The reason why is because any headlights manufactured after 10/02 is a royal pain to open. I suggest get projectors53 like on my signature. Run search and you will see my galleries. Thanks!

Yes, that is what I want to, change the whole headlight. I bet it's less complicated and easier to mount...

Where can I buy Projectors53 ???

umnitza.com or jlevistreetwerks.com. the options are:

1. halogen without CCFL AE (already comes with AE, but halogen)
2. HID Xenon without CCFL AE ($199)
3. HID Xenon with CCFL AE ($$199 and $179 extra)

Thanks a million for the info but WICH one do I choose? I don't know what CCFL AE means...

I'm kinda a newbie on this topic....

I'm not exactly sure what CCFL stands for, but its refering to the angel eye rings. So the last option includes what you most likely will want: the housing, HID, and angel eyes.

sorry, it's Cold Cathode Floresent Lighting. If you are not getting that, all you will have is a set of halogen angel eyes pre-installed.
