Default bmw e60 pre lci angel eye bulbs

Can anyone reccomend any descent bulbs for the angel eyes on my Xenon pre lci headlights, white in colour as possible. I know this has been asked a million times but the more posts you read the more conflicting things you hear. Error free bulbs which have been tried and tested please.


Thank you

i went through this recently when one of mine (preLCI E61) went out. i didnt particularly like the yellowish look of stock, but couldnt find anything online that was reliable and relatively inexpensive (i wasnt going to pay >$100 for a set). i ended up ordering an OEM bulb (Hella) from Amazon.

let us know what you find.

I installed Umnitza ICE Lite LED upgrade Angel Eye lamps. Cost was $43.09 shipped. Color is white, and decently bright. One failed after about 6 months and Umnitza sent me a replacement for $20 shipped. $15 refund on return of failed lamp...I chose not to return the failed unit.

The lamps were plug-n-play, no coding necessary and no lamp out warning in instrument cluster.

Purchased 6 months ago, replaced one faulty unit yesterday. Cost is $34.99...on indefinite sale, it seems.

I got new bulbs about 6 months into owning my E60. I ordered them from Umnitza dont remember what model exactly, but at the time they only had one option for the E60. I spent 75 dollars on them about 3 months later they dropped to 50 and now it seems they are for 35 or so. They were for 120 before the sale I got them on.

The ICE LITE are our most reasonable option for plug and play pre-LCI units.
You can also look for sales for the VXX during the holidays where we offer them for $99.

The VXX remains the best option if you want durability and output.

Give us a call if you are uncertain of your options.
