Whilst out on a trip today I was in slow moving traffic and noticed on the opposite side of the road the distinctive fantastic angel eyes of a an E39 heading towards me which I noticed from quite a distance away. Seconds later an E60 came toward me with just its side lights on and I could not see the angel eyes at all. This led me to think do UK non-xenon E60's not have angels eyes or are they not as noticable as the older cars lights being odd sizes???
Anyone else notice this?

Here's a couple of pictures I just took and downloaded a couple on minutes ago

I have noticed that with the DRLs on, you can't really tell whether the angel eye itself is illuminated, or if it is simply the reflection/projection of the headlight. :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown:
This is one reason why I am having the DRLs turned off, I just don't like the look either. It's either angel eyes only, or xenon headlights!

Having looked at Kevs pics I realise now why they don't look clear, its due to the bright reflection at the base of the headlight thats blurring the effect and thats what I saw the other day.
The E39's lights didn't have all the reflective surfaces like the E60 does hence the better look of the angel eyes

The Angeleyes on mine are very blurred to, sometimes at distance, it doesnt even look like i have angeleyes on my car. I wonder if anything can be done to make them more distingtive?
Maybe replace the bulbs for Angeleyes?

I am sure maybe for the model year 2008 when BMW face lifts the E60 they might make the angle eyes brighter and whiter like the Xenon light source.

Can it be retrofitted?
