I haven't done too much market research but I bought a relatively cheap set and was not very satisfied with the brightness in daylight. I guess price and quality are related also on this topic.

The replacement procedure is simple esp if you have girlie fingers or can bribe/convince a lady or kid to do it for you as the space is quite limited. First time I did this I fiddled around with the lights still in place but the 2nd time I just removed the entire light unit and it was a breeze. Use search function to find plenty of info on this topic.

Year and model of your e60 would help. Also, is your e60 equipped with halogen or xenon headlights?

but yes, there are plug and play replacements brighter to OEM bulbs...

I sell MTEC V2 which is the brightest angel eyes available. Here's a couple snaps courtesy of designo.





Now if u have LCI, you can compliment your car which HID angel eyes. Check my signature for the pic!!

here is a youtube vid that shows the easiest way in my opinion, its a litte fiddle to change with the lights on, as said earlier you need realy small fingers, the person on the video makes it look easy, but you have to fiddle a little to lose the lighhouse from the car, but dont take the wires out as he does, its not necasary(not written correct i think), you can change it with the wires connected
