06 X5 with dull OEM orange angels what are my options?

[mendes9]

I have an 06 x5 with the oem headlights. The oem angel eyes/rings and the day time running light are halogens I guess, with the dull yellowish color. What are my options? Can I just replace bulbs, or do I have to replace something with after market?

Thanks

Thanks, but when I look at that website it only lists, 2000 to 2003 X5's?

I changed the Angel eye to match the HID's using these very easy simple to install and look great £34.95 in the UK they perfectly match the Xenon's and look good on their own

I replaced the Stop/Tail for these which do not give a no bulb error when fitted and are much brighter and sharper;

thanks simon, this is making more sense, since my 06 allready has the halo rings, all I need to do is simply swap the bulbs? I see lot's of kits with the rings, but my year allready has the rings. Ok thanks.. if anyone has a good link for a us site to purcahse please let me know, and I assume it's an easy swap?

1) Here's a close up view

2) Here's one with the Xenons on

Here's a shot of the rears difficult to get a decent image, in reality they look much brighter with a slight orange tint, they are a lot sharper than the standard tail light, I have only changed the stop / tail (Lower rear) not the additional tail light (top)

The Angel eye replacements are easy to fit simple twist and unlock the old bulbs and replace with the newer LED type the rears and the full beam are the same, you just need to be more careful with the main beam H1's the fit is tight.
