Hello,
I have a 2010 (2009 manuf date) E92 that came with the adaptive HID lights (pics attached).

I am looking for good RGBW replacements. Seeking recommendations, experience, advice, knowledge, etc.

99% of the time I'll be running white. And I'll need the white to be as good as or better than stock. The color is just for off-street show.

There seem to be two kinds of products. Once where you replace the bulb with an LED cluster and others where there is a ring of LEDs you install to make the halo.

I read where dspence installed some fromAfterPartz, but it was a 6 hour install

Of course there are the DTECH ones that are sold by supporting vendor here.
This thread shows Socket's install

But I'd like to learn and understand more. I guess I don't properly understand the difference between products that put an LED ring on the outside and ones that replace the main bulb. I guess I never fully realized how our headlights work. I guess the angel eye rings are just light gathered from the main bulb and projected out in that pattern (rather than being from a separate light source).

So if anyone has a better understanding of the products, which ones are good, what the install is like, I would love to learn more.

Thanks,
Hammers

Sigh. I'm a knob. Can a mod please move this post to the right subforum. Sorry, I posted it in the wrong browser tab.

That only works for a comment in a thread. It does not work for the root post that creates a thread.
