Hi all,
been doing some research on the cheapest way to make the halos on my 535i white...I heard that you can use LUX, then i heard those were not compatible with 08s, then I heard that its just a lightbulb change, then I heard it was the whole module, so now I am confused. What is the process or any good products to (economically, cheapest possible desired) make my yellowish halos white?

You know most of your questions can be answered in the DO-IT-YOURSELF section

Just a friendly FYI

do you have xenon headlights or halogen headlights.

If xenons, then it truely is a simple H8 bulb change (~$15 for the set). I have GP thunder bulbs on my e60, pics in my gallery....
If halogen, it's not a simple H8 bulb change....members with halogen lights will eventually chime in from their experience..opitons..

How do you find out if you have xenons or halogens?

look closely at your headlight unit (while turned off) you will see the words "BMW Dynamic Xenon" etched in Black, along the outter light

Another Question, are the turning bulbs also the same H8 as the angel eyes?
