Well, I started to love my car again and decided to put some more money into it. (Not that I have spent so much on it.)


Well two of the first upgrades I want to do are put LED in my pre-lci angel eyes, can someone recommed any and how much kelvin they shuld have to look as bright as possible,
more to the white than the blue-isch. Maybe even post som pics and where you bought them.

And im also looking for the rear license plate lamp LED upgrade. Would also appresciate som pics and more info regarding that.

Im looking forward to put my Hartge 20" on the car in a week or two. =)

Thanks for the help, this forum rocks.

Thanks, I will check these out.

Yes, my car is a 2006 535D M-Sport Individual Malachite Green ( not that it matters )

My Xenons are original and they are about 5000k. Im afraid that those on your car will be to blue for me? Or should i not be worried??

I recommend going with Orion V2 if you are willing to open the headlights up.

thats the only option if you want to install the orion v2 ring which replaces the angle eyes you have right now, its bright though. You should just get the MTec V2 to be on the safe side if your not confident in having the head light taken apart.

Thanks for the word out there everyone!

Hey Martin T, since you have a diesel engine, there may be FM interference for LED angel eyes. Feel free to send me a PM in products you are interested in. I carry the MTEC V2 angel eyes and license plate LEDs/Lamps

The Predator ICE V3 is brighter than the Mtec V2 and the original ICE V2 we had without any radio interference or external resistors.
The LED V4 LIC are also the brightest.

Mtec V2 for the win.

If you want to go all out and $$$ to spend go with Orion V2. (requires custom install)
