white angel eye options for existing 1er's out there

Hello
I would like to replace the yellowish halogen angel eye lights with the modern white light on the brand new models (without headaches, complications, error codes, large expense).

Does anyone have experience with this product:

I think its best to stick with halogens. I bought philips h8 diamond vision 5000k and they were perfect. 5 minutes to install and totally plug and play.

Thanks for the reply!

Will this produce a white light (to look like stock) or a blue light (which looks like a bad after market upgrade)?

Do the Philips Diamond Vision 5000k do a good job of lighting both rings?

I have some really cheap white bulbs that are pretty good on color, but really only produce enough light to illuminate one ring way more than the other.

I put them on my car. They're still yellowish in the sunlight, but they are mostly white at evening/night. The other part is once you turn your headlights on, the voltage gets lowered on the angel eyes and they turn more yellowish again. This can be coded out I think.

If you want an exact match to your headlights you'll have to go with LED. I think the 6000k ones that extreme powerhouse offers are supposed to match our HID headlights well.

Edit: Also, the inside ring will always be more lit than the outside ring on these cars. It's just the way they were designed.

Lots of options available .
Keep in mind that with plug and play options you will always get the inner circle brighter than the outer one (there is no fix to this issue).
Unless you get LED rings which is offered by OSS and it will cost you around 1000$ +removing the bumper and headlights.

Here is a sample of how plug and play would look

This is our own kit
