yes, hi people, haven't been on for a while, coz i was busy with exams and stuff, anyway, i always wonder what typre of angeleyes are used on the new models of bmw, coz u can see them so clearly even in dayligh, but older models are only visible during night time, which makes them useless coz at that time u need to switch ur headlamps on !

so, have a look at the pic and hit me with any suggestions or links u have, thanks alot guy

The newer BMWs actually use a halogen bulb, which is much brighter...you can not use a halogen bulb in your car though...

There is nothing you can do that will be THAT bright...there are angel eye upgrades to change the color
of the rings...but the brightness will remain the same...

what the hell !
iv seen people here who upgraded the idrive to the f10 one !
i'm sure upgrading a bulb isnt that complicated, anyway, im sure u know what ur doing coz u have a very good reputation in the forum Krozi, but why isnt it possible to fit the halogen bulbs in my pre-lci? something to do with power supply or heat?

and thanks alot for taking the time to answer my question

The thread is different and no standard halogen bulb fits....I am sure that with money, blood, sweat, and tears, you could make it work
