Pictures - Upgrade of Fog lights and Angel eyes
 
4 Attachment(s)
I got my Hoen white Fog lights just now. Here are the before and after pics. Note that I also have the angelibright upgrade from a few weeks back.



If anyone can tell me how to open my main headlights to clean the dust out that would be great too (red arrow).



Oh, the hoen bulbs come with a free sunglasses holder if you don’t mind their logo too much.

very nice where did you buy them

nespo_x5 10-18-2006 10:10 PM

Looks great! Nice install... how hard was it to replace the fog light bulbs, I have been meaning to do mine. The anglebrights are SICK!

bimmerFanatic 10-18-2006 10:18 PM

thanks runningaround, ordering mine tomorrow! Good night...

Hi, nice upgrades on the lights. Just visited the website of Hoen. Can you advise which bulb did u purchase? H11 or H7? appreciated some pointers.

Thanks.;)

bimmerFanatic 10-18-2006 11:05 PM

Hi Kvin,
I would determine the type of bulbs you have first before ordering. Hoen does have a table that specifes what model fits which cars but it takes literally 2 minutes to check the fog lights.

kvin 10-18-2006 11:26 PM

Cool........thanks will check out my existing fog lights first.
I think you got H11 bulbs (from the picture).
Will update once i get it checked out.
Cheers!

Nice I'm ordering mine now

cue03 10-28-2006 10:14 AM

Are you guys replacing the factory angel eyes? Are these much brighter or something? I thought the 4.8 came with angel eyes?

bimmerFanatic 10-28-2006 02:02 PM

Cue03. They come with angel eyes but the factory bulbs are yellow. We're replacing the bulbs for white ones.

alexz 10-28-2006 04:09 PM

I thought a lot of Angel ibrights have a defect where both of them or just one of them is flickering. You must be lucky :)

bimmerFanatic 10-28-2006 04:40 PM

They do flicker when I start the engine. I just live with it.

I already ordered mine but some ppl are telling me that aftermarket bulbs tend to burn up the wire harnesses....

PLEASE ADVISE......anyone have them for a while on their truck?

thebluedog 10-30-2006 10:46 PM

Anyone upgrade their high beams to HID? Which company makes the best match to the low beams?

I would also like to know more about the lifespan of these kits. What is exactly provided in the kit? Light bulbs? Do they come with a ballast, or does it use factory parts. The angel eye kit on my M3 can be problematic sometimes, but ite bearable. Im new to the X5world, so id love to get a bit more info. Thanks:thumbup:

noncom23 11-01-2006 11:53 AM

Great mod. I was just thinking of this last weekend.:thumbup:
How do you get that plastic trim ring out without destroying it?

We have special pricing on the iBright for the next few weeks, see www.angelibright.com

The iBrights shipping now are around 30% brighter than the previous models.

Kuwaitiano 11-01-2006 04:12 PM

what? why? how? no free upgrades?

antonnyc 11-01-2006 05:09 PM

Guys????????

is anyone worried about frying their wiring harnesses for the fog lights?

i continue to hear that the aftermarket bulbs tend to burn out the wiring harrness....

PLEASE ADVISE.....:confused:

antonnyc 11-05-2006 06:49 PM

Nevermind. I didn't realize my high beams were xenon. I assumed that they weren't b/c my Lexus has Xenon low beams but the high beams are not. :confused:

Dblock2151 11-06-2006 01:58 AM

How well in person, would you say the Hoen's match with Xenon's?

kkx5 11-06-2006 02:27 AM

I don't think Halogens can EVER match the look of xenons matching xenons. Check out my thread:

http://www.xoutpost.com/x5-e53-forum/...ver-heard.html

I think you'll notice the difference :\.

Which color did you go with? White, bright white, etc.?

kkx5 11-06-2006 02:50 AM

Well, in some of my pictures they look "blue" but I'd have to say and swear that in person these are pure white at 6500K. Things appear much brighter in the lens of a camera :\. They appear most like the off-center closeup pictures.

antonnyc 11-06-2006 02:46 PM

guys i just put the hoen's on and in the begining i was not happy.....but once the HID's warmed up, the look seems great......looks really good actually........:thumbup:
