Default Need Advice on Angel Eyes and Interior LED Lighting...

I'm new to the board and the BMW community. I recently just purchased a 2005 545i with very low mileage. I am now in the market for parts that will make my vehicle look even nicer. I've seen great pics of similar vehicles on the forum!

I needed some feedback on a few sellers on ebay who are selling angel eyes and interior LED lighting. I dont know a whole lot about Brands and if I should be careful with aftermarket products. Since I dont know a lot about cars, the last thing I would want is to damage any electrical components. I know BMW's are costly to fix and are very sensitive for that matter.

If below are not good choices, perhaps some guidance would help (Brand name, links, etc). THANKS!


Here are three sellers on ebay selling interior LED lighting, need your opinion.

For the interior, go with the 3rd link, those will be your brightest.

As for angel eyes, I can't recommend either of those unless you are just fine with nighttime angel eye visibility.

Check my signature to see some real angel eyes for E60.

FWIW, if you don't wind up going with LEDs for the angel eyes I would highly recommend the Hoen bulbs. Just got mine installed yesterday and I love them. They're just as bright as stock, but have the color of the HID low beams - and for $30/pair it's an inexpensive alternative to LEDs.

People complain that it's too bright.
Sadly for the boot you would need to buy something else, for me 6 led's is not enaugh.
Something like this for boot Super White LED SMD Luggage Trunk Lights BMW 5 Series E39 E60 E61 Error Free | eBay
The third link looks like a good choice if you want bright light.

Stian the dome light panels you bought are nearly the brightest solution that's out there, I can see that being crazy bright, especially if you have a light interior.
