MY Halogen to Xenon Conversion :)

moveswiftly · 10-28-2008, 09:47 PM

Well I had purchased a set of Angel eyes from e90 Andy

Just got them today, going to install this weekend just wanted to post pictures of the work in progress

. It has an 8000k HID kit on it, might change the bulbs to 6300K though.
Cheers!

jaespark87 · 10-28-2008, 09:56 PM

Andy had a set with the OEM ballast ... You should have gotton that one!
Anyways .. Good Mod choice and GL with the project

Forgot to add I have also ordered my Carr ICE for my car

am_ver · 10-28-2008, 10:34 PM

just curious, how much do these Xenons cost? I know the factory Xenon was $800 for the '06 e90 - does this work out cheaper?

They are in stock trim ... I don't think he got the stock ballast or bulb so he's putting on an aftermarket HID kit.

moveswiftly · 11-04-2008, 08:46 PM

haha sorry this weekend i'm installing them. been wayy too busy with work.
they're aftermarket HID but i've gotten 5000K bulbs for a pure white image

I'm going to change the Fog Light bulbs also to match them
I installed my car ice on the lights already just need to install them on teh car.
THIS WEEKEND I PROMISE

moveswiftly · 11-08-2008, 11:31 PM

jaespark87 · 11-11-2008, 02:16 PM

moveswiftly · 11-11-2008, 10:59 PM

in the engine bay near the housing of the lights. just zip tied em on.

E90 ANdy · 11-12-2008, 01:21 AM

nah man, I can just switch my light indicator to the outer lights and the angels light up themselves.

I need to find out how to move my HID's of the ground tho lol and there's a smudge in the housing of my lights :/
gotta try to clean it up because it's apparent at night.

devilzrule · 11-12-2008, 01:25 PM

how is the visibility?? can u see well at night?

moveswiftly · 11-12-2008, 06:49 PM

it's good I might have to aim the bulb a little higher.
