E92 DRL Cree LED Bulb Upgrade - Advice Needed!!

Hey guys ,

I am looking to upgrade my DRL bulbs to something brighter. I visited my local auto electrician who is a BMW specialist and deals with headlight upgrades, alarms, radios etc. Anyway, he recommended I get 'Cree LED bulbs' fitted, he said these bulbs will be nearly as bright as the LCI DRL's and will cost £80 to fit.

He also said I can see if I like the lights when fitted and if not then I can change back to my old ones and that the LED bulbs come error free and with a 1 year guarantee.

Has anyone fitted these 'Cree LED bulbs' to their DRL's and if so what are they like?? Pics would be appreciated if possible!!

Cheers chaps!!

I assume you are referring to your angel eye rings? Which vehicle/year do you have? Few different versions.

Kit I used in my E70 had a lifetime warranty and for the H8 style had different options for wattage.

From my own personal experience, I would not go with the cheap-o bulbs like that. I don't know what product he's using, but it probably will disappoint you.

Again, from my own personal experience, you cannot go wrong with the LUX H8 V4's.

If those are a bit too pricey, I've purchased quite a few products from HighPerformanceBulbs.com (through TopGearSolutions here on the board), they have a new "80W" unit out, see here.

I have not yet had a chance to play with E92-Lighting's newest offerings, but there are a lot of people who are very happy with them.

I have a 2008 320. I currently have a bulb fitted (which came when I bought the car) which is like a blue/white colour which lights the small angel eyes up well, but not the big ones

As mentioned earlier in the thread, we do offer our LUX H8 V4 LED Angel Eyes and they have been tested by many members across this board.

Also just so you are aware 'Cree LED bulbs' dont rever to any 1 product in particular. Cree is a manufacture of the LED's but the whole product needs to be designed and manufactured, as well as the electronics that drive the LED's. Most of these no-name products are made in China and could come with little to no warranty or support. As well these are designed to function, but not well.

are 100watts safe to use in E92 housing without any mods?
