What is the 'easiest' way to convert my Yellowish/Orangish Angel Eyes to White???
 
Hi guys! I have these headlight set and my Angel Eyes are kinda Yellowish or Orange, I would like them to be white but ONLY if it's a simple process. I do not like to take the headlight assembly apart to put in new white angel eyes.

Is there an easy way like changing the bulb for this particular set? My angel eyes appears as if they are only getting their glow or illumination from a light bulb positioned somewhere in the assembly. Maybe if I replace that bulb...? :confused:

since you have aftermarket angel eyes, you cant. you have to buy the led or the ccfl type headlights to get that white look. nothing you can do lnuess its the post facelift e53

Research and never ending web surfing paid off! Finally found the easiest way to convert my AFTER MARKET AMBER ANGEL EYES TO WHITE! Wooohoooo!

Found these LED BULBS (on the right) from an AUTO STORE...

Bought 24 pieces (you need 6 per Angel Eye) at around US$5.00 each...

Cost me a total of ONLY US$120. It's I think the cheapest way to have WHITE ANGEL EYES. Just sharing and I hope this helps. Cheers!

Hi fullmetaljacket,

Congratulations on the mod; the new angel eyes look great! I assume that you have the 'Depo' headlights (which I am considering getting), however, I would like to have the angel eyes shine brighter like yours. I do have a couple of questions:

1. Where did you purchase the LED's? and
2. What colour temperature (in terms of K) did you get?
3. Any chance of a shot in the daylight like picture 3 in post #3?

Thanks :cool:

@X5Flyer - Thanks.

1. Where did you purchase the LED's? - From this store unfortunately on this fas side of the big pond :( they have all sorts of LED bulbs that came directly from China - eBay Philippines Seller: snyc3: Vehicles Motors, Cell Phones Home Phones items on eBay.ph

2. What colour temperature (in terms of K) did you get? I'm not sure. The bulbs came in plastic bags and didn't have any formal labels on them. Sorry.

3. Any chance of a shot in the daylight like picture 3 in post #3 - I will take a picture tomorrow and post it immediately.

Sorry for the inaccurate link. I went to the store personally. I didn't buy the LED lights on-line. They had them hanging on their store display. They didn't have any labels or any markings at all on them. If you look at the picture comparison between the OLD BULB and the NEW LED BULB, you might be able to search these types. I will try to do some research in a while and post some results...

I think you're right...its a T10. BUT this one is slimmer than the T10. SO does this mean it's a T11 or T9? :dunno:

Will research on it...

Oh I forgot to mention that there was absolutely NO WARNING CHECK LIGHT MESSAGES whatsoever with these bulbs! :)

Thats even better.:thumbup:
They look like T10s..Easy check is to compare it with your side lights which are also T10.
