Led angel eye upgrade

Just picked up my new car 2005 530d with stock halogen headlights looking for the best angel eye upgrade as the ones in it are very weak plus they seem to bleed a lot of the light they are not like any angel eyes I've saw before

Hi. I would ask your question in the 5-series section, you will get better answers there.

Hello!

I'm fairly confident there are two 194/168 bulbs per headlight, one per each ring. Let me check up on that right now, and I'll get back to you!

EDIT: yes, it's definitely one pair per headlight (so four bulbs/two pairs for the two headlights)

I'm not exactly sure how the light gets to the AE's, but if it just goes forward to the rings, get something like this: http://www.v-leds.com/6K-WHITE-4-LED...87987-1-2.html It's extremely bright, it's heat-sinked, and it puts all the light forward. If that's where it needs to be, then here you go!

If those don't work, then people seem to be reporting success with these: http://store.ijdmtoy.com/Canbus-Euro..._t10_sku26.htm but they aren't going to be as bright as the VLEDS bulbs, which use nicer LEDs and drivers.
