angel eyes: best option for non xenon e90

UdubBadger · 10-29-2008, 12:01 AM

So i missed out on getting xenons from the factory on my 328xi. I'm wishing I had angel eyes now, don't really care if I still have halogens as I don't want to spend the $ on doing anything to those other than maybe upgrading the bulbs to 6000k but I want the angel eyes. I just had a bunch of questions about them on what the best route to go is...

What is the best brand to get? So far I've heard of Umnitza and ******* making them but don't know many specifics about them.
Where is the best place to pick them up and how much?
How hard is it to fit and wire these things in?

thanks.

I would go with Andys lights ... They are OEM lights that plug-n-play to your stock harness!

UdubBadger · 10-29-2008, 12:13 AM

hmm any idea on price and difficulty of install?

808E90 · 10-29-2008, 12:37 AM

Install is pretty simple with the right tools ... Here is a link with Andys info:

I agree....

I bought a set from Andy, and we met up and installed them on my 2008 328i.
We installed them in August, and I also added the MyCarr Ice a week or so later. Andy's lights are

great because they plug right into your factory harness with no modification. I haven't had any issues with mine yet. Check out my photos on my profile page.

cool thanks man, i looked at um and they look nice. i'm probably buying the set that 808E90 has for sale and will hopefully find some new super white bulbs to match them.

If you only care about angle eyes, why don't you look at OEM halo from 09 model, I heard they have angle eyes.

Your best bet would to be replace the headlights with factory projectors with built in angel eyes. You do not have to get a full xenon setup.

I put Sylvania silver stars (H7) in for my low beams and kept the stock H7's for my high beams.

I am waiting to see what the 09 lights look like as well with the Halo rings, but I am happy with my lights from Andy.

Hey Guys,
I was at the dealer today, so while waiting for my car to be serviced I thought I'd ask the Parts Department Guys how much the new Halogen '09 with the Angel Eyes would cost

Answer: a Staggering $1,016/each

I'd go with *******'s Plug n Play.....anyday!

UdubBadger · 10-30-2008, 09:21 PM

yeah i just bought a set from 808E90 and just purchased some new sylvania ultrastar headlights/fogs so I think I'm all set now.

thanks everyone
