I'm looking at the HOEN bulbs for an upgrade for the Angel. There are different classes of bulbs I guess : 9006, H7, H2 etc. Since I'm NON XENON, should I get the XENONmatch, matchplus? I want to replace the main and fogs. Will they burn the lenses as it happened in a car I had before? Any other "BRIGHT" ideas? Thanks

Yes the headlgihts are D2S bulbs for Xenons, H7 for inner high beams, and 9006 for the fog lights

No changing the bulbs should not burn the lenses unless you use a really crappy brand that has no idea what the hell they are doin.. most of the lights brands now a days know what they are doin so I wouldn't be worried

Thanks Hamaan. I call the E60 "Angel". I would like to get the Angel Eyes, but not too savvy when it comes to installation. The HID kit would be beautiful also, but the latter still applies. I'll just settle for some bright whites for now. Thanks.
