Sorry to ask

I know it's been done to death. But I've been out the E9# game for a while and products move on. What's considered the best DRL angel eye replacement for the whiter brighter look? Budget won't stretch to £140 for the super fancy ones.

I've tried a few over the years but I genuinely believe LUX are the best.

Thanks for the reply. I don't suppose you have photos of yours?

Can't have cheap and high quality, especially not with regards to BMW angel eyes. Buy a set on eBay if you're on a budget but don't be surprised if they burn out or look terribly dim.

I've got the LUX E90 V6 in my car. They were the most recent model offered by LUX until these were released: https://www.luxangeleyes.com/products/lux-e90-v7 Depending on what year and body style you have, you will need to get the corresponding bulbs from the LUX lineup, which may or may not be the ones I linked

Here's a pic of my 330i with the LUX V6 angel eyes. This is with the actual headlight OFF, i.e. only the rings are illuminated.

Erm I think E92 also takes the V5s which are currently on offer ($175).
