Angel eyes
What provides the illumination for the headlight rings? I assume there are separate bulbs. I'd like to match the color to the HID headlignts (~4,300K). Not interested in going super high color temp.

Lamp upgrades
Just ordered H8 & H3 lamps from Bimmian.com to match xenon. $96 with shipping for the two sets. They also have a LED conversion for the halo lamps, but it is a high color temp super bright look; that might be too much bling for me.
I don't know why BMW doesn't color match their lamps. It's a small detail, but makes a big difference in appearance.

Good luck with Bimmian. I haven't read much about them recently, but I know they used to be pretty bad with messing up orders and customer service.

GP Thunder 8500K
Dont be fooled by the high temp the claim. It matches well with stock HIDs. Its white with a hint of blue. The 8500 is just a marketing gimmick.

Here are the bulbs I just received from Bimmian. Looks like their customer service has improved over their reputation. Halo (H8) bulbs on left and cornering (H3) bulbs on right.

Nicee, looks just like my GP Thunders. Im wondering, do you take the bulb off that socket and place it on the OEM one or do you replace the whole socket itself?

You replace the whole thing. And be careful not to touch the glass of the bulb with your fingers. Wear gloves.

Paying for US accessories purchase
Do you have access to PayPal in Guatemala? That's an option.
