i have seen a m3 with a set of angel eyes that are xenon, the actual halo rings. Does anyone know about this or if it is possible for the e60??

Thanks Chris

I saw the same thing on an M3 yesterday. It does look cool. This was a day time thing where ONLY the angel eyes were illuminated (not the middle of the headlight). Looked way cool.

I saw those made by Umnitza or something like that, but I found it's too bright and a little "aftermarket". The best you can do is to take side marker bulbs which are amber and replace angle eyes with those amber bulbs, it'll looks so stunning and match with eye brows. But you need to buy another 2 bulbs for two other angle eyes. Replace the side marker bulb with the one you took out from angle eyes. This will make your side marker become "clear" . This is one stone kills two birds. Just try it fist on outside angle eye and you'll see if you like it or not. I've done mine with two outer one and too lazy to go to Auto Part store to search for the other two.

I've seen these also, however, I don't think they are actual "Xenon" lights.

They're just a simple replacement with a high-intensity discharge bulb to give it a more "white" light rather than yellow.

Still, I think it looks cool and may replace my bulbs soon too.

Try umnitza.com.
I believe they make their own assembly including angel eyes for the BMW's that normally don't have them.
