I actually just bought the same year/model as you. I have the xenon kit, but I believe if you don't have xenon you can simply switch out the bulbs for the rings. There is a thread around here about it I was reading last week. I believe if you have xenon it is more expensive to upgrade the angel eyes. Someone please correct me if I'm mistaken. I'm looking to possibly make them brighter as well.

For those who have Xenon, you have several choices, Predator, AngeliBright etc. There was a group buy going on here for the v3. Father's day special.

For those who don't have Xenon and want to upgrade their Angel Eye rings, PM pinghuk. If I remember correctly, he was able to help a couple of folks in the same situation.

There is this Xenon kit sold on ebay made just for E60's in the same year as your car. THe sell is based out of the UK and i contacted him in regards to him mailing me a kit in the USA. I have the same problem as you (bought a 06 525xi) and i want Xenon's BADLY!.

PM E60.net member pinghuk about the rings.
Frank,
I saw you were on the fence about the amber angle eyes, did you pull the trigger??? I need a geniue pig, so I am looking to you for your thoughts!
I thought about getting the blue ones, but then I thought it was too "Fast and Furious", not to mention probably getting harrassed by the police. However, I really hate to spend $300 on just some white rings, especially when all the new models have bright white, so its either amber or white. let me know, THX!
I'll be in the ATX on Lake Travis for the 4th, oh how I miss those days!

Hey Tyson,
I waited too long on the AIB v3. I was out of town on vacation. I was on the fence between Amber and White; leaning more on Amber since they matched the brows better and didn't get lost with the Xenon lights. I may wait on this mod. I still have several upgrades to complete.
Are you really going to be in Lake Travis for the 4th?
