Hey guys, I have a 2008 X5 E70 and i am completely lost and confused. I have no idea about what lights i have on my car only that they are classic xenon and day lights are the classic rings. Last week i saw a 2012 X5 and i fell in love with the difference in the front lights and thought i must have the same.. So my trip started.. I started looking around and saw the above site..

I want to buy the Led bmw angel eyes from the link above but can someone explain to me what does the following mean.. because i don't want run into compatibility issues...

Please note: For the High Power LED BMW Angel Eyes to fit, the BMW must have factory equipped HID Headlights.

What is HID headlights and how do i know if i have it? is it something standard ? do i check with my dealer ? is there another way to find out if my can has HID ?

thanks,,,

i bought the lux v3 and i wanted to know if bmw dealers would do the installation for me or should i do it myself?

Do it yourself. It's relatively straight forward. Lux even have installation instructions manual in PDF form for you to download from their website.

I have the Lux V3 installed, but just purchased the Alpine HID kit. Already have a buyer lined up for my Lux's, but I figured I'd take comparison photos for all to see. It'll probably happen sometime next week.

I too have the alpine HIDs :thumbup:

Got the new 12 Watt MTEC from Europe and more than happy (4x3 WATT CREE per bulb)

HID means High Intensity Discharge, otherwise nown as 'Xenon' lamps as they contain Xenon gas but are actually an arc/plasma lamp. If you have blue white lights which take a few seconds to warm up then you have HID Xenon lamps. Normal lamps use a Tungsten filament in an envelope with a recipe of various Halogen gases and have a yellow colour tint as per the Angel Eye lamp itself. You should also find a warning label of dangerous voltages as HID lamps run at up to 25,000V to start the arc up.

The claim to be the brightest in the world. Not sure about this but it is daylight in my garage and 300 Watt ceiling light and still I have a hard time to look straight into the light :-)
