Question about AE upgrade

I just recently purchased City Vision H8 LED angel eye, and I am wondering if I have to upgrade my Xenon to match the color temp of the LED AEs?

And my question is, I heard many people talking about upgrading d1s ballast, what is that? Thanks..

You need your AE match your Xenon bulbs not the other way around.

I would install the angel eyes first to see if you are happy with the color match.

ok thanks, but im wondering if the city vision H8 LED will match the OEM xenon?

also, if I install the LED AE, would I have to do a corner delete?

The 6W LED AE by City Vision Lighting simply replace your OEM, dull halogen angel eye bulb with a super bright LED bulb. Remember guys, the 6W LED Angel Eyes by City Vision Lighting is not compatible with 2007 model 3 series. We've gotten upgraded resistors and have tested them successfully on multiple vehicles with no error codes present! The City Vision LED Angel Eyes feature a 6000K pure white LED bulb for a brilliant white light that looks classy on any model BMW. They'll match perfectly to your OEM headlights and you do not have to upgrade the HID D1S bulb. You do not have to do a corner delete as the angel eye and side indicators are not related bulbs. Here's a video of them in action for you to check out.
