E90 Headlights

CaptainKibbles · 11-03-2009, 10:02 PM

So i have the crappy headlights on my e90. No angel eye, no xenon and i want to upgrade to some angel eyes but not from BMW. I found these online but want suggestions if i should not buy them or any other choices there are.

I bought those same ones on ebay for 250 with shipping.

CaptainKibbles · 11-03-2009, 10:33 PM

is it worth buying or will they burn out in a day?

Can you post a pic of your headlights? I thought all came with angel eyes..

Cannot recommend those headlights at all, the quality is very sub par.

I think ebay has them for cheaper. Original Xenon are well built no doubt but comes at premium price. It's your call, if I'm not looking for Euro LCI Xenon then I would choose the $250 head light. There are members that have successfully installed $250 and looks pretty good. Search for it.

yea dont get those. they dont last as long as the originals and the angel eyes cannot be replaced, they are built in to the headlight.

Another question is whether or not they are USDOT approved lights. If you look at the lens of BMW lights, they have those letters embedded, and in some states you will fail the safety inspection if your lights don't have that. I know you will here.

I just bought some LCI xenons that are still on the way. Euro spec and I may have to flip back to my Pre-LCI halogens whenever I go in for a safety inspection. I doubt they'll be approved, but I'd love to be wrong.
