hey all i have a 2007 e90 with halogen headlamps, iv been trying read about the various upgrades ppl can do so im looking to just clarify some things.

1) lci halogen units will plug straight in no issues.

2) lci halogen units are angel eyes and just need better/HID bulbs?

3)lci halogen units still need rewiring and coding for bi-xenon conversion?

4)do you need xenon lights with the brighter angel eyes?

currently i just have the philips extreme h7 bulbs which improved but still under-powered compared to the bi-xenons i had on previous car.

cheers

Try philips diamond vision 5000k bulbs.
1. plug and play
2.use lux lci halogen bulbs

1. LCI Halogens are plug-n-play.
2. The OEM angel eye bulbs are crap, buy LUX for those and you'll be happy
3. no rewiring, it directly clicks into the same fittings as regular halogen headlights.
4. The upgraded angel eyes will not be "xenon" just 10W LEDs. No additional wiring or anything... LUX's are directly plug-n-play also.

I have LCI Halogens on my pre-lci E90. All this spoken from experience.

If you put HID's in a halogen housing, I will hunt you down

I got them from LuxAngelEyes who is a sponsor on this site.

Sounds like they are for Right Hand Drive. Could also need wiring harness's and parts for leveler's and other misc.

ye im in uk so rhd is what i need.

[russ335d]

im under the impression the angel eye ones are lci halogens that have just been upgraded bulbs?

[N0OS3]

RHD and LHD headlights doesn't matter... the only difference is one is headlight is angled down so it doesn't blind traffic ahead of you... the headlights can be adjusted very easily by turning a dial on them. They're still plug-n-play.

after hearing people saying the lci headlight units are costing hundreds each, seeing a pair for £370 seems a nice deal if will be plug and play
