2007 328xi headlight upgrade

Cyrca · 05-20-2013, 12:02 AM

Hi all,
Wanted to ask if anyone knows if i have any options other than buying a whole new headlight kit for my car... i want to have some beastly HID angel eyes on my new(used) car but im broke and dont think i have the money for a whole new set... the high beams/low beams i currently am using are GREAT but i want the blue but not fake blue look, ya know? i always see people driving around with the ugliest bright blue lights and it takes away from the integrity of ANY car imho.
lemme know what you all think, if im sunk no big deal.

unfortunately, your car does not have angel eyes.

you would have to buy new headlights

i'd say it'd be worth it though. it's a huge upgrade to the look

you should go for some LCI styled projectors

I don't know what to tell you as far as changing the bulbs for a better look in the lights you have now, though

would any of these suffice? CCFL different from HID?

I believe any of those would work and would be a huge upgrade, but be aware the angel eyes will not look OEM. To get more of an OEM look, you'd need to shell out a lot more cash.

I'd try out a set of these first if money is an issue... I've seen a couple people on here with similar set ups and they look pretty good

I would be suspect of a $300 pair of e90 headlights. Seems like a prime candidate for condensation issues. Don't know why but that site kinda sketched me out too. Might have been the BMW Lambo Doors section. If I were you I would look for a good set of used oem projectors in the classifieds section.
