Default Any LCI halogen angel eye upgrade?

Haven't been on the forums for a while but I have an 08 528i with Halogen LCI angel eyes that could use some white bulbs. Any suggestions?!? Thanks guys!

Hey that car looks familiar.


OP- spend the money and get Orion V4's. I haven't seen any bulbs work well for halogen headlights.

Looks good but as you described LUX H8 V3 AE is for LCI w/ Bi-Xenon headlight unfortunately as OP stated his LCI headlight is the Halogen version that uses different kind of bulb.

Yes, the headlights need to cut open. However if the work is done right there should be no issues with water leaking into the housing. I had Simon do my lights 2 weeks ago and I just washed my car the other day with no signs of leaks in the headlight housing. The V4's are $350 at Umnitza in Concord, see Tim. The pricing for installation you will probably want to talk to Simon since there are additional options he can do since the lights are open. I had him do a clear lens swap, blackout the chrome trim in the light housing, and painted the projector housing red (got devil eyes now). If you want to see the lights in person let me know, I work in San Jose.
