i have the LED ones and they look fine when its dark

cant see them at all during the day

 

So basically if I want that halo daytime look I need to go with CCFL huh?

 

yeah

 

Anyone else have insight??

 

how do i know if i have projector headlights

Found these on Ebay, member here has them and likes them so if i have non-projectors im buying them right now. They are ccfl too

 

you seriously need to go with the CCFL...LED's DO NOT show well during the day at all...u might as well not get them if you're considering LED type angel eyes...I'm a full time student also...but I was still able to pay for them? save a little? starve a couple meals? =D you'll be fine! haha otherwise, save up for your projectors first, and THEN get the angel eyes...since there's the minor issue with halo rubbing with the aut-leveling xenons...I didn't have any problems with the ones I got, but...u can never be too safe :thumbsup: g'luck

projectors are these clear round ball things on the outter circles of your light...if that makes any sense...so just look at your outter lights (not the turn signals, but the round light just before the turn signals) and if there's a odd-loooking half ball buldging out, then you have projectors...but that doesn't mean you have xenons necessarily...for instance, facelift (2004+ model years) coupes ALL came with projectors, but not all had xenon...and for those that didn't have the xenon option, they still need to get inverter or ballast in order to tap in safe power for those HID xenon bulbs (which are like $100+ for each pair of bulbs)

 

i went and looked... all i see on the outer light is a cone kinda.. then the bubble thats teh light with xenon written on one side and kind of like design around the rest of it like squares..

 

wtf are you talking about o_o? LOL...ok, here is what a projector looks like...

if you have that, then you MIGHT have xenons...you're only 50% done if you have this projector...because, like I said, you may not necessarily have HID Xenon BULBS...and in that case, you'll need to buy a HID kit and a pair of xenon bulbs in order to have the full setup...get it? :thumbup:
edit: on a second note, after looking at your sig, it seems to me like you DO have the projectors...but still...good luck with having the full setup!

 

Ayamana,

If your car's headlights are BONE STOCK, you have xenons, unless someone removed your BMW OEM xenons from them. For YOUR car, having the Xenon package means you get projector headlights. Otherwise, you wouldn't get projectors.

Hopefully, those are stock headlights and not aftermarket p46s.

 

oh oh oh! Thank you so much guys! They are indeed stock xenon projectors, both Cal and Mfanatic i appreciate your help.

 

um, but like I said...make sure u have xenon bulbs...if you don't, then you hafta get the HID retrofit kit...

 

From your sig, you have factory xenons and I assume 4300k bulbs (factory color temperature). Like I said, you can purchase our D2S upgrade bulbs so that they will perfectly match the Predator Chromium angel eyes.

 

jlevi FTMFW! :woot:

 

i have dde titaniums i heard recent issuses with the titaniums in the past but i seemed to be very pleased with the outcome of how they looked. i highly do not recoment the LEDS unless you can not afford the other ones but i recomend the CCFL ones or predator chromiums check the site sponsors they always know what works really well.

mfanatic325: what minor issue are you talking about with the angel eye halos rubbing with the aut-leveling xenons? I have the factory xenons on my car.

Nick@Jlevi: Before you reccomended to me the 6000K halos, but will they look off w/ the factory xenons?

Thanks for the imput.

Why does this come up everyday? There has to be at least 1000 threads on angel eyes on this board.

Anyway, thank you Nick for clearing things up for everyone this thread was getting painful to read... plus I don't have to type as much.

 

islanq,

CCFL are brighter and also pretty cheap, so you can go with those. The ebay ones that one of the posters posted will work for your car (can't beat the $50-$60 price):

I do recommend the 6000k, it provides the most crisp white light output and looks the cleanest of all color temperatures.

They will be a bit whiter than your factory xenons but I highly recommend you go with this setup as it is our most popular and provides the cleanest color.

You can upgrade your factory xenon bulbs with our 6000k D2S bulbs for a full and perfectly matching setup.

With that said, the 6000k Chromiums will not look bad with your 4300k factory bulbs.

Those are another option, however realize those do not include a full wiring harness with free built in remote kit (meaning you will have to do your own custom wiring), no lifetime warranty, no install guide, no email/technical support, no support in the future should anything go wrong with the product, no guarantee on quality or fitment etc...

In any case, if those qualities are not important to you, ebay is definitely a way to go.

since auto-leveling xenons have the up-and down motion when you have your key in ignition position 2 and above, sometimes it pushes the halos against the headlight housing, causing it to crack, etc...but the recent angel eyes kits I believe have catered to that problem...for instance, the ones I have never had that cracking problem...

 

anybody from Australia?
i want to fix the lights all 6000k and also i have a problem with the angel eyes as well
the left hand side does not come on
any suggession will be helpful

You can barely see these at day either, streaming light etc. on them will stop them from being seen.

 

they're MUCH better than LEDs though...at least you can see the CCFL's... LED angel eyes are just :censor:
