Angel eyes and clear lights
 
Hi.

Im looking to mod my recently bought 2001 3.0l X5.

I have Oem xenon without angel eyes.

I was thinking about taking out the lights and remove the waffel on both lights. Will removing the waffel in front of the xenon lights make the light pattern different.? Would like them to still pass the EU controll..

Also while i have lights out i would like to install angel lights..

I can see there are different products on the market. What do you recommend of LED angels, or CCFl.? I previously had a 2000 320cia with the ccfl angel eyes, and was pleased with them, but it seemes like more people goes for the led lights.. Not sure the difference..

ex. http://www.europeanautosource.com/pr...oducts_id=1153

While im at it ill put in some xenon lookalike halogen bulbs for the fog lights.. Any tip for which ones to use.?


Thanks for all replies..:)

Ive seen that theese have been recommended on several posts, but since i live in Norway it would be to much hazzle sending them to customaneleyes and get them refitted..

But from theire site i found out that ccfl is brighter than led and oem.. So i guess thats what i should go for..

Would have liked HID's but did not want to spend that much. I want those angel eyes too, but might have to wait until spring.

I think i will go for something like this...

But where can i find the Hoens.? I found the Luminics on ebay, which looks goodf to..


Which kelvin should i go for to get similar color to 6000k xenon bulbs..?

Ill see what i do with the angel eyes..

Can anyone confirm that removing the waffel on the xenon driving lights, wont change the pattern..?

Does anyone have pics of the angelibrights installed with the glass wafers removed on OEM xenons? I am considering doing that and possibly smoking the internal turn signal lens while in there...
