So I am currently debating between HID and LED angel eyes for my 5. I know HIDs are generally more expensive and make for a more labor intensive install as well, but is the payoff really that much better than what you get with LEDs?

Personally I really don't like the 'blue' or even 'purple' effect that you get from really bright lights. Especially on cars other than bimmers, it looks poor IMO. You can go ahead and disagree with me, I'm fine with that.

Anyway would you recommend HIDs (8000k) that look white or LEDs that cost less and are something that I can install myself?

Thanks fellas.

 

I assume you have LCI

 

If you have lci then for sure go hid.

 

yep i have an 08 soooooo what exactly does that mean for my lights?

 

you should contact member john@motorcepts. hes the lighting guru here so he will be able to help u out. plus hes in NY and he has a shop opening up. you should pay him a visit oh and i almost forgot HIDs ftw!

 

yea i've actually been thinkin about doing that because he's in ny. thanks a lot

 

Go with HIDs I have his kit in my car now....mmm 3k AE's, 6k lowbeams, and 3k fogs......


I need a new sig

 

u can install HID angel eyes yourself. Or you can stop by Motorcepts and have one of our technicians install it.

 

i got you covered john! i did some internet marketing for you LOL

 

So, I put in the LED angel eyes which make it look white instead of yellow. is there a HID conversion?

I do not know if my car is LCI, 2007 530xi sport package with ADAPTIVE BI-Xenon lights.
