What you guys think about these fog lights and angels?
I don't want to change my headlights and want fogs to match my current factory headlights 2006 550i.
Also let me know if you recommend something else. Again, I don't want any errors or over-heating etc.
Thanks

Don't put LEDs in fogs unless you are just after the white light and no utility at all. It will hardly even light 1-2 feet in front of you with these LEDs.

And those AEs are crap. Don't waste your money.

You need to do more research on THIS board about angel eyes.

That picture you posted, those are inaccurate representation of the actual product and what you will see in real life.

You want the good stuff? Gotta pay to play:
