I would like to change my stock dull yellow angle eyes to "Hyper White". What do you guys recommend i should buy? I do not want some cheap shit that will burn out in a couple months and i also do not want anything that will drain more current from that expensive battery.

I have the GP Thunder 35w and very pleased with them. I've tried two different sets of the LEDs and both gave errors on my 2008 535 LCI.
For under 30.00 and compared to 230.00 I couldn't see the big difference. If you go for the LEDs or HIDs better you clear it up in advance
For a refund / exchange in case you have the error problem like I did. I hear some cars seem to be more sensitive than others...

He has pre-LCI, can't go HID.

His best PnP solution is probably Mtec 2.1.

Thanks for replying... do the Mtec 2.1 last as long as the stock bulbs? Should i be aware of any other issues related to this change?

So I recently had one of my Predator Ice V2(paid $175) that I bought from Umnitza a couple years ago just go out and I decided to buy a set from a supplier on ebay (paid $48) the brand name is Kaibird they are 5w and as you can see by the pics the the new ones are way brighter than the predator ice. The passenger side light is the new light....FYI. So needless to say I am pretty satisfied.
