Help me spend my money!

Pete Schweaty · 09-05-2011, 06:58 PM

I have a Monaco Blue 2007 335 E90. So far I have blacked out the window trim, front grills, finishing rods, and roundels. I also debadged the rear and put on 20% tint all around. I think it looks pretty good as it is . . . ok its never good enough. I need help deciding what to waste my money on next; Blacklines or Angel eye upgrades.

My question to those of you who have already replaced the AE's is; how are they at night? Im pretty blown away by the amount of light put out by the OEM Xenon lights at night ( just don't dig the yellow hue during the day).

Do the LED's perform as well as the OEM's at night or are they strictly a daytime cosmetic improvement that you will have to give up functionality for? Thanks.

Here is the car

blackline tails should be the first mod every pre-LCI e90 does. and then the amber overlays for the headlights.

Pete Schweaty · 09-05-2011, 07:09 PM

I was thinking about the overlays. Where do you get them?

edirtaynine · 09-05-2011, 07:15 PM

i think some guy on the forums actually sold it but dont remember who since i never bothered to look into it, but remember reading about it on here.

otherwise, hit up some of the vendors here... im sure some of them sell it... LTBMW, jlevi, ecs tuning, etc etc

I would definitely recommend the smoked LED Blackline tail lights. You could also add the smoked LED side markers to complete the look. As for the angel eyes, the most comprable lighting output to the OEM newer angel eyes would probably be the LUX. We also sell these headlight reflector covers to help get rid of that amber look.

Which route did you go with the black window trim? Vinyl wrap or did you purchase them factory

Pete Schweaty · 01-10-2012, 11:09 AM

Vinyl. It was a PITA at first, but went pretty quick once I got the hang of it.
