Headlight Angel Eyes Upgrade: WeissLicht LED bulbs (version 2) Install and Review - Page 2

when you first get in your car and turn the ignition on ( noticeable only at night ) have you noticed the Angel eyes flickering even though the lights themselves are not turned on, i imagine the car must pulse a voltage to the different systems to check they are ok.

with the LEDs i have, they very noticeably flicker until the car is started

nice upgrade.
I want them too but I have a hard time deciding on which kit to buy. I love the new oem angel eye lighting, it looks equivalent to hid. I was going to go with a set of hid angel eyes but I noticed the rings do not light evenly (one is brighter than the other) so I figured the uniformity of led bulbs is the way to go but theres such a huge selection of brands out there. I just want bright white and long lasting. Anyone?

No flickering of the WeissLicht LEDs upon turning on the car as you are reporting (just verified it in my garage).

thanks, i would say thats the advantage to paying the extra money, as opposed to buying as i did on ebay

I'm looking to upgrade my corona ring bulbs. I have a 2006 E53 with the bi-xenon headlight assembly. All of these bulbs listed seem to show the same for all 2000-2006. I know 2006 was the first year for the bi-xenon headlights and I'm not even sure if all 2006 MY had them. Is it the same bulbs whether you have bi-xenon headlights or not?
I'm also interested in a recommendation for halo bulbs that are under $100. I'm sure I don't want the cheapest, but would rather not spend $170 for two bulbs.

Bi-Xenon was available from the 2004 model year facelift. Both of my '04's have them. Starting then, if you had Xenon, you had bi-xenon. The angel eye bulbs are the same across the facelift E53's.

These are the ones on my current '04.

Thanks for the info. So do post-facelift E53's use different angel eye bulbs than pre-facelift? If so, what do I need to look for? Many of the items I have looked at say they are for 200-2006, but it sounds like that may not be the case.

Pre-facelift did not have angel eyes.
