The stock bulbs are 12v 10watt... But I guess you can pretty much try anything lol. I tried a 4watt. Doesnt look good. I suggest, xenon white.

Bulb names: common names ba9s, t4w. Other names 1895, 53, 57, 182, 257, 363, 1445, 6253

These ones look super bright http://cgi.ebay.com/2pcs-BA9S-1895-T4W-5-Power-LED-White-Bayonet-Bulb_W0QQitemZ200299850672QQihZ010QQcategoryZ33713QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

i wonder if these angel eye bulbs for the e63 is same for e60. lemme check realoem.com. if so, i'm gonna get some CRAZY 10 LED SMD bulbs and add a resistor and see how it works out.

from what I see, these bulbs are similar to the e60 Angel eyes too. I found these BA9S bulbs are for the e60 angel eyes.

I just ordered these,

And you can swap out the bulbs on the angel eyes and place these. I'm just trying to figure out where I can mount a resistor without having it burn or melt anything.


And these bulbs are only $15 bucks shipped for a pair. I should be getting the bulbs this week.


I'll show my results once i get everything. If its the same brightness at the Angelibright v3's, i'm going to be really pissed. Oh wellz.

You have to take it out a certain way. Pretty easy, but would have to show you.

If you look at the AE, it says open ----> on it. Basically you turn the bulb (I cant recall if its counter clockwise or clockwise) than pull out, the small little tabs might get caught in the sheild, you just angle the bulb, wiggle it gently and it pops out
