If you have factory xenons, are the side light aldo xenons?

Im thinking that it might look weird if you have white xenon headlamps and a yellow angel light around it.

Has anyone got pics of the xenon headlamps?

Wow, looks nice. I thought the angel light would have been yellow.

Does anyone if you get the xenons, is the angel light the same or not?

I've got the Xenons and my angel lights are yellowish.

I have xenons and the angel eyes are yellowish by comparison. That pic looks processed, probably B&W.

The angel eye rings are the same on both halogen and xenon headlights. The rings are formed by a special plastic light conductor and as far as I understand are neither halogen nor xenon types. :thumbsup:

Thanks Merv :)

The only light that is xenon is the outer headlight on bi-xenon equipped cars. The inner light only comes on if you flash your headlights and uses a normal halogen bulb. The "angel eye" rings are a light conductor a Merv says. A single bulb is used to filter light around the ring. This is easier to see on the new 3 series as the light rings sit forward of the rest of the headlamp assembly in this model.
