LCI E90 Angel Eye Upgrade Options

Ok, I'm thoroughly confused by the available options.

Do I go with LED or HID for a LCI E90? And which ones?

Thanks in advance.

I'd go with LUX H8. Bright in the day and night. It's plug and play. With HID's, they're bright in the day but some members claim the rings look like a blob of light at night. You will also have a bunch of wires running under your hood because they're not plug n play.

Yes, I heard the Lux LEDs may be good. They look good on your AW E90.

Does anyone know how they compare with the M Force LED upgrade?

M Force sells RD LED's. Those are one of the worse ones out there. Invisible during the day.

+1 - OSS Design is a great choice for a full replacement headlight. Its going to be extremely bright and the two rings are going to be exactly the same brightness

On a pre-LCI model, aka a 2006 330i, LUX e90 will be your best bet

You can also do the WeissLicht LED replacements, they are offered in a xenon white, blue or red depending on what you prefer.

I've got an E90 LCI with Bi-xenon.

Will Lux H8 fit?

OSS looks really cool but I don't think it's made for my car. Also not interested to go through so much for angel eyes mod.

dont replace your headlight completely, just upgrade the rings, your headlight is a very expensive piece.

check out a few pics

I just installed the Lux 5.0 for LCI Halogens and they look amazing! I highly recommend them.
