LCI Xenon or LCI Halo?

forzajuve · 11-30-2009, 04:26 PM

Does anyone know how one can tell whether they have LCI Xenons or LCI Halos without having to go into the actual bulb? Btw, I have an 2009 e90 LCI with M-Sport. Thanks.

You mean LCI Halogens?
for xenon's the outer of the two driving lights will be a round orb

for halogens both driving lights will have reflectors behind the lamp

This is a xenon headlight with the projector outer beam:

This is a halogen with reflector bowls for the inner and outer beams:

If you have a 335i, I don't think it's possible for you to have halogen...

thanks everyone. i've been reading on lighting and read that there were two types of bulbs for the e90 LCI - halogens and xenons. i'm guessing mine are xenons.

in e90 and e91 LCI 2008/10 forward
if the blinker is in led then you have xenons

in e90 and e91 non LCI 2005/10 to 2008/09
if you have angel eyes you have xenon
