Angel eyes light

brisk3 · 09-22-2010, 06:57 PM

Hey,
I did a search and found some old threads on this.
I just got a loaner from the dealership with 2011 3 series and LOVE the way the new angel eyes look...nice and bright white.

Any chance anyone know where to get the same bulb?
Would it be a simple plug and play install?

Pretty sure that OEM bulb is now on the market?

Thanks in advance!

Yes I did

I was at the dealer today (top off fluids and the iDrive screen was rattling...and BMW assist wasn't working; great way to start off a week of ownership huh?)

the dealer didn't have any new e89s, but they had the new e9X and I gotta say, I like mine better

also, for the 11s, I'm pretty sure it's more than just a bulb

Sure, but can you elaborate on what you mean by 'more'?

alex@alpinemss.com will be able to answer any technical questions

I will try and answer whatever I can myself.

Anyone change their angel/halo lights in the UK?

I was at Santa Pod BMW event last weekend, and all trade stands said it couldn't be done

persian's lights look great.

but has anyone here installed the GP thunders or the MTEC's?
would prefer plug n play bulbs ...easier for me! lol

Alext · 09-27-2010, 07:54 AM

Someone installed the Mtechs and they looked really good on the Z4. Plenty of pics on the other forums of BMWs with Mtech cosmos blue and GP Thunders. I think the consensus is that the Mtechs are superior slightly.

I have the H8 (35Watt) "Super White" from MTEC (4350K). It still is a compromise but they are a lot whiter than the standard ones and they stay very visible even in bright sunlight. If you want them to be more blue/white (5000K and more) you loose in light output and you could go for the H11 (55Watt) instead, they will fit after a small modification.

Grtzzzz

brisk3 · 09-28-2010, 10:31 AM

Think i am going to get the MTEC 4750K bulbs
Will take some pictures when I do the install...

Looked under the hood and looks like a simple plug and play...hopefuly...

If I were to do it now I would go for the 4750K too but at the time they were not yet available... I think they might be an even beter choise

brisk3 · 09-30-2010, 08:10 PM

ok..
so i just got the bulbs and did the install
took me literally 5 minutes

it looks better than the stock yellow and is still sufficiently bright.
the pictures make it look a lot blue/white "er" than it is.

if you have any questions feel free to ask!

Get them from e92-lighting. He is on the e92/1 series boards and will give discount if you ask via a PM to show you are from the forums. Ends up much cheaper than from Ebay.

Sir-Synergy · 10-01-2010, 01:59 AM

Have any daytime pictures?
