xenons

then all you would need to do is change the H8 bulb. I used GP thunder H8 bulbs...some think it's not bright enough...

here's my DIY on it...

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

the cheapest way to make the halos on my 535i white...
Cheapest are the GP Thunders, which most of us who have 2008's, have on our cars.

For the Halo's, cost is $16. To swap the cornering lights to white too, that's another $14. Can't beat it.

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


Thanks Gene, I really never paid much attention to it.

Gene is one sick individual. He talks to, sleeps in, screws, eats and walks his car. And only when it's been a good little car, does he actually drive it. But only if it's been good.
