Hey guys I had a few questions I hope you can help me with. I last car was a 328i 2008 coupe.

My 328i had hid's and my 528i does not. Do I need a hid kit to have 4300k or can i just but the hid bulbs?

My 328i had the angel eyes on in the daytime and at night my headlights would go on. Currently on my 528i my headlights just have and "stock white" with no angel eyes on. And at night they go on, but they are barely noticeable. Is there any way I can have just the angel eyes in the daytime instead of this single light?

Also my 328i had stock led's on the license plate. Can any one help me with a bulb # so i can order then? I had ebay leds on a previous car and they would flash and go on/off randomly. If anyone has ordered this from a quality site can you please direct me? =)

Thanks.

-Joe

assuming you want leds for your rear plate?
not sure about 4300k but for a solid 6k light umnitza sells led license plate bulbs that do not send an error to idrive.
i have some and can speak for them, they look great.
pre lci e60?
angel eyes are a pita with pre lci e60's.
