The R-Dash LEDS also have "built in resistors" but still gave me errors... and they didn't look much brighter than the GP Thunders (in the daytime at least).

 

rest the discussion guys. bumper to bumper warranties are over-rated. clearly.

 

This thread has nothing to do with bumper to bumper warranties.

 

Those are bright! Congrats!

 

I wouldn't believe it. I emailed John from Motorcepts this morning asking about LED AEs for a 535 and he said there are none that won't throw an error..I tend to believe him, he seems to know his stuff about lighting in these cars and has probably tried to identify an LED solution for the x35's cars with no success..

I would personally prefer to go LED versus HID justs for the ease of install alone, but I guess for a 535 it's just not an option.

 

Is there a bulb/ LED set up i can get for the older std Halagon Angel eyes????
I have the headlight assembly where you can see the halogen globe straight out

 

Yes John has some LED angle eyes I believe for the pre lci halogens. Or another member (Pinguhk) has some bulbs you can buy (you need 4) to make them white. Contact John at John@motercepts.com and he will be able to point you in the right direction.

This is Pinguhk's solution. https://5series.net/forums/topic/499..._1#entry523710

 

Thanks aretardedorange. These look good. However i was hoping to alsofind a solution for the refracting light that spreads.
either a light source that directs the light into the AE specifically for the halogen pre-lci's (as they are for the HID)or a deflector blocking the bulb emitting light around the rest of the head light....?

 

You want HIDS in your car? Or do you want the rings to be more visible? Kind of confused lol. Or do you have a HID kit in your car and the rings are not visible anymore? Maybe you want projectors? Explain again and I will try to help.

 

hahaha, sorry for the confusion.
I am looking to really have my Angel eyes well distinguished like the output of the LCI models. With halogens, the light from the bulbs of the angel eyes go everywhere causing the angel eyes to be less defined and as a result....looking more like a parking light rather than rings.

A LED or globe designed to direct light only into the angel eye ring would have a better result.

Alternatively, i could replace the whole headlight to get projectors however very costly...


In below's quote, is a pic of my headlight. You can see the reflection of the blue balb hiting the headlight area....this makes the angel eye rings less defined when turned on.
