Do you think you will run into heat issues with a HID bulb in the angel eye bulb area?

Nope the heat from an hid bulb is actually less than the heat from these other bulbs stuffed with led's !

ys 1978 save your money , i just saw h8 hid kits on ebay starting @ $40 and its the same brand xentec which i use in my atv for 3 yrs now with 0 troubles !!

I think LUX looks better than HID's in my book - MDS LUX H8 Rings for E92/E93 BMW 3 Series, E90/E92/E93 BMW M3, E90 BMW 3 Series (LCI) and E70 X5 - North American Motorsports

Ultimate is OSS ➥ F1 AUTOHAÜS - OSS Designs • High Powered LED Angel Eyes think they can do X5's but it isn't cheap!

brabus209 does sell them. I had a set on my E60 550. Actually sold it two days ago for my X5. Didn't get a chance to swap back out the Fogs. The 6000k Kit I had was great. Already planning to get another set. What do you guys do for the halo's??? Any particular brand? I've already asked brabus209, just waiting to hear back from him. Got all my light upgrades from him.
