BMW E90 Pre-lci halogen swap for LCI. Angel Eyes Upgrade?
So I have make up my mind and decided to swap my halogens from my pre lci to LCI halogens with angel eyes. Any opinions or recommendations on which angel eyes to get? I was looking at LUX H8, but I'm not sure if they make them for halogen headlights. Once again BMW 325i 2006 PRE-LCI with LCI halogen swap which angel eyes should I get or would fit? Thanks in advance

You need to get LCI Halogen lights from Lux. I had alot of difficulty finding compatible bulbs and ended up getting pretty pissed off I needed to spend more bills after paying 500 for headlights. BUT they are freaking amazing. No issues whatsoever I think they even work better than the ones for the xenon.
My car is featured on their site but this is a seriously old pic but it'll help you understand how bright they are ![]() http://luxangeleyes.com/products/lux-e90-lci-halogen |

Thanks for the response, actually I was thinking of those the thing is that in the website it says xenon only i have a pre lci wanting lci headlight
I think it says it will work with valeo only! And not for zkw which is the European bmw oem headlights producer |

If you are on a budget you may want to consider our e90 lci angel eyes. They are currently one of the brightest solutions and at a excellent price point.

We have plenty for the PRE LCI E90 which would be very similar as they are the same unit more or less with a slightly different design for fitment purposes. ![]() ![]() |

Ok thinking of going the same route installing projectors, later though right now I'm just trying to get some angel eyes without and ugly Amber line, like the pre lci has. However, I am glad to hear a lot of members have successfully done this conversion. I heard a lot of people debating whether it was possible or not lol thanks guys I think I would go for LUX H8 as soon as I buy the other headlight. Wish me luck in finding a good deal lol

I just installed lci xenons and it was definitely worth the cost. Might as well do it right the first time instead of upgrading to lci halogens and then lci xenons.

That's correct. But he asked for the output and the output would be similar. Note the only difference between the PRE LCI and the LCI upgrades is simply the mounting points. The LED's and their output is the same.

I still think its not worth getting halogens. It's gonna be about $700-800 to get lci halogens and angel eyes. It would be about $1000-1200 to get lci xenons.
