Don't think it's possible to switch, but I may be wrong.

Lux V3 H8 best bet so far.

Let us know if you find a better option!

i just got a quote from my bmw dealer in canada. its 290 + tax including installation. he gave me the option of either red, white, or blue angel eyes. i think that's a fair price considering the price of the lux are 245

What type of halos is the dealer going to put on, i.e. brand? Because clearly they are going to be non-OEM and I haven't heard of any dealer doing that.

Ask them if it is OEM or aftermaket..likely aftermarket.

Weisslicht make red blue and hyperwhite...way to dim and unappealing.

We offer the LUX H8 V3 angel eyes and we can ship them to you. Installing them on an X5 takes about 5 minutes and required No tools

Spoke to dealer today...definitely not OEM angel eyes seem on new trucks.
There is no retrofit at this time

what kind of angel eyes are they installing however? if they are anything like these ones they are not worth the price: here. These LED angel eyes are not visible during the daytime and the LUX h8 V3 angel eyes will be 3-4 times brighter.

I just put the Lux product in my X5M and they couldn't have been easier to install - 5 minutes max. They look fantastic! No error codes either. You can mess around with the dealer if you want, but I've found the guys that specialize tend to know more....

Don't have time to post pix, but I promise you the Lux product will not disapoint.
