The OP has an LCI ('08+) model w/ halogen headlight so not the same as what you are looking for.
As a suggestion instead of guessing on such product(s) try contact John@Motorcepts for any lights mods.
Just don't put up your hope to much as pre-LCI AE ring will not be visible during the day unlike the LCI version especially using LED.
Of course moving away from just standard bulb replacement a fully modified AE nothing compare of using Orion which is the way to go.
GL!
I'm also looking for the upgrade for my 2005 545i and here is what I found BMW E39 E60 E61 M5 E83 Angel Eyes LED Markers White 2 x 10WATTS Real 10 Watt | eBay
I tried to contact the seller, but no respond. Either they are busy to hunt turky or they are just lame.. The LED unit looks nice though. Having big heatsink will prolong the life of LED, but not really sure if it will be very tight fit or how the installation should be.

I want to ditch the yellow AEs, but I don't care about brightness. And I'm not trying to drop a grand on the Xenon conversion either.

Now, a few notes...
1) it DID change the color of the AE's. like the description in the link states.
2) it IS plug n play with no hassle.
3) is IS NOT bright.
Now, for many people on this forum they want ULTRA bright for there AE's.
these are not. I PERSONALLY just wanted to change the color.

Have you by chance noticed any interference w your radio while having the AE's on? I bought a pair off ebay and now get crap static on the radio when I have them on... I looked at some old threads and it appears that alot of people do have this issue. I was wondering if anyone else has had this issue and whether going with a complete swap like the Orions takes care of the RFI issue?

FYI found out a little more info on where the static comes from on some of the AE's.
"Creed LED which usually 3.6V which needs current limiting circuit, like resistor but that's too crude so some design "current source" to limit the current. This circuit is DC-DC converter which running @400KHZ or higher for efficiency (less heat). The latter can create interference with radio due to lower/upper harmonics.

Shit! sorry for the late response... YES!!! that link worked. i got them in, they were Plug-n-Play!
Now, a few notes...
1) it DID change the color of the AE's. like the description in the link states.
2) it IS plug n play with no hassle.
3) is IS NOT bright.
Now, for many people on this forum they want ULTRA bright for there AE's.
