Guys - I am looking to upgrade my angel eyes and was thinking that the blue bulbs might look good since my car is also blue - What do you all think? Do they look good?

I saw blue or amber.......you're not gonna like the white as they are no where near as bright as the LCI cars

Although they make them, blue and red are illegal, so you might get pulled over. Just an fyi...

That is what I was thinking but wasnt sure if it looked cheesy or cheap - like it didnt belong on a BMW

Check out member mfvra's (Frank) gallery, he's got amber and they look pretty darn good, and I do agree with Carlton blue is illegal, although unless youre driving with just your halo's on, I dont think they'd even notice them when your lights are on. I wasted a couple hundred dollars on Predator Ice V2, and although I like the color better, the brightness is very unsatisfactory.

I just installed blue last night on my silver grey. I had had the red ones but they looked far too cheesy (someone else's word...), like an EMS vehicle. I really like the blue as they look crisp without the cheese factor imo. I'll take some pics later and will post.

Anyone want red angels for cheap?

Good to hear. Thanks. Pics would be great. Good luck selling those after you just bashed them, haha

Here's my amber angel eyes, http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=57255

Note I said amber, not red. There is a difference.

I say go for Red then. Blue car with red angel eyes looks mean. Plus, you're showing everyone that you're a true patriot.
