Cool eBay $70 lci angel eye 20w led upgrade 1yr warr - review

Decided to take a gamble with my fallen rebate gift card $80! Picked up a lci white 20w led upgrade kit that uses Cree led found in kits that cost double or triple from a company called BMW LED.
Hell with a 1yr warranty will last the time I stick to one car anyway . I couldnt find any installed pics so I am going to make an e60 review!
To begin with they deliver in 2-3 days free shipping $70 total! $10 bucks to spare for painting the yellow lci reflectors and black out the 550i badge!

I did find an e92 review of a kit that uses 20w Cree but costs over double $160!!!!!
REVIEW: ----- DTEC 20w CREE LED H8 Angel Eyes ---- E90 LCI --- color me impressed - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum - E90Post.com

Totally happy with the result of that review color and brightness. So that is my expectation in a few days.

I bought my 17 piece interior lighting kit from BMW LED and they've been 100% reliable for the year I've had them. Plug and play, no errors, and they are much brighter than stock. The panels they use for the overhead are the brightest I've seen, and the best part is the price... right around $50 shipped IIRC. Hopefully you have the same luck with their AEs! Be sure to post pics in daylight looking head on.

I have their interior kit, license plate, and angel eyes. I have had the angel eyes for over a year and not had a single problem from them. The others I have had for a few months and still no issues.

I have the angel eyes...had one go out about a month or two after I got them. They replaced the failed unit without any hassle.

I have a noob question. How many of these you need to change the stock light? 2 on each side or just one? Thanks....

Sorry not to let you down or anything but not sure if you notice this is for LCI with Xenon headlight, if I remember correctly from the other thread you started based on the pic of your headlight it's LCI Halogen unfortunately this bulb will not fit in your headlight.

Welps, can't say I didn't try to give the best recommendation, lol. Guess sometime people rather figure stuff out over time instead be fed the "unfortunate" factual reality

Thanks Blastiwi...

You are the best! After googling around and check my VIN details, my headlight is using a H7 bulb. And from there, I found out that there's this Philips X-treme bulb which gives good visibility without changing to a Xenon kit...

I guess that would be the best and easiest upgrade option for my noob level of DIY skill

Cheers...

Yah yah... mistakes made and learn But i guess that's part of "growing up" in this ever complicated BMW world. And why on earth we need to "code" even for changing a new car battery??? .. I've owned 7 Toyotas before and never ever I've spent so much time in a forum!! Gosh... Must get back some life.....
