LCI E90 headlights

sennett0r · 06-02-2011, 03:17 PM

Hey guys, I'm fairly new here, but not to forums in general. I have tried searching but haven't been able to find conclusive answers (I might not be trying hard enough...

)

Basically, I just want to know, or would prefer to see a picture of the headlights from a LCI e90 with Xenons. I'm not sure what else effects how the headlights look so I'll list out the specs of the car I just ordered.

2011 328i sedan
6-speed MT
alpine white
glacier alum trim
black dakota leather
premium pkg
m-sport pkg
value pkg
xenons
navigation

I love the new "corona rings" in the LCI e92s and was told that only e90's with xenon's get these. But, i have yet to see any pictures of any LCI e90's with the corona ring headlights that I am thinking of.

Can somebody post a picture of an LCI e90 with Xenons with the DRLs on, and headlights on, and everything off as well?

THANKS a bunch!

Just so you know, all E92's have the corona rings. The E90 LCI with xenon headlamps have them also. However, the corona rings on the E92 LCI are LED and bright white, whereas all the rest are halogen based bulbs.

Here is a really old photo of mine with stock corona rings or angel eyes as we call them.

Thank you so much!!!

THIS is EXACTLY what I was wondering...

So even the E90 LCI headlights with Xenons have the Corona rings but they are NOT LED/Bright white like the e92s...

Is there no option from the factory to add the LEDs on the e90 headlights?

That is exactly what I wanted... Or perhaps there are aftermarket solutions that look as simple/clean as the OEM angel eyes?

This is what I upgraded to. They are called LUX H8 Version 3 and they are a plug and play LED solution. Not exactly like the OEM LED's but damn close.

EDIT - there is no factory option to upgrade the corona rings to LED, only aftermarket

LUX H8 v3 is what you're looking for

Thanks guys! Appreciate the helpful responses!!!

How are the LUX H8 v3 vs. the OSS AEs?

**edit** nm, i noticed the OSS require you to ship your headlight housing to them and cost $600...
