My Ride: '04 530i
Default

Was wondering if anyone could confirm this: I want to get my angel eyes done pretty soon and I remember reading a while ago on some forum, most likely this one, that if you have an 04 or earlier model, you are unable to purchase those $15 or $20 bulbs that you can find at any local car shop.. Is this true? Are we 04- models only limited to buying AiB's or the other expensive ones?

For the pre-facelift cars, you will need the specific fit kit like the MyCarr ICE Kit we carry.
