You could purchase an angel eye kit, take apart your headlight and add them. they would work differently than the factory angel eyes that come on some of the BMW's.

I'd personally recommend getting a new set though, that already has the angel eye rings and also that has a projector for the low beams and you could add hid's.

Changing the whole headlight is the only way to go- and it ain't cheap.

That is why I pretty much will insist on the xenon package in any BMW I've had (the 335 comes standard now with them, thankfully.)

Replacing the whole headlight unit is easiest.... and it's what I would consider fairly "cheap"! £250 in UK here I got mine from ebay, 2nd hand but perfect condition. Hour or so to fit them.

They are OEM 2nd hand head lights - ie they are LCI lights. I replaced the angel eye bulbs with a whiter brighter one. They're not as bright as after-market ones, but are OEM and I love them
