huh, - the angeleyes on the LCI use a H7 halogen bulb? how many watts is it ?

so, then it's really easy to change to an aftermarket H7 with xenon color and possibly stronger wattage - correct ?

yes correct but the BIG problem is that te light computer,

nonfacelit angeleyes has 12w,and this new angeleyes has 35w and power consumtion is bigger and the computer after 14-20 sec automat cut the power,is a must to change computer for new facelift


tonight i will try to change my headlight and try to resolve whitdaught change computer
