Though deceptive as hell, they do not say they are Angel iBrights. The deception is that they use a picture showing Angel iBrights vs Stock, but the ad simply calls their units "Xenon Super White LED Angel Eyes Rim Bulbs". Caveat emptor - let the buyer beware.

My Ride: 2004 525i, Metalic Gray, Premium Package
On my 2004 525i, the Angel Eyes are very yellowish looking. Talked to the dealer the other day, and I was told that I have to replace the entire light assembly. I am not sure if that means the whole light assembly with the high/low beams etc., or the assembly for angel eyes, but for sure they meant changing bulbs will make it work. Does this make sense? I thought I saw somebody on this forum bought a pair of Japan made bulbs to get the bright angel eyes. Thanks.

I have Xeneon light. Hope that will make it easier?
What is "The angel eye unit"? It is not the entire light assembly including the high/low beams right?
