Hello there!

Just saw your post and that you have added xenon light in your angel eyes.
I am also looking into putting xenons in my angel eyes for my 2008 525D.

Did you manage to get a complete set with canbus "correcter" in order to not get any error message from the car? And did you also manage by this set to not have flickering light?

I am asking, because I am told by a local guy here that in order to have xenons in my AE I also need to enter the light module by computer and alter the voltage output for the ange eyes.

Any advice and your experiences are very welcome!

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Jan

Jan from Norway,

The LCI's 2008-2010 E60 comes with Xenon projector lights... The Angel Eyes HID are from John@Motorcepts.

tint is a fast and cheap mod; you can always get it the tint first while waiting for the kit. It makes a big difference overall, especially with white car.

Agree to tint next. You won't regret it. Besides, it's summertime and I hear it can get pretty warm and humid in NY.
