e90 angel eyes

I have a 2011 e90 sedan 328xi. I really want the HID angel eye look. I have looked into lux and some other companies. But it seems that I must have regular light not xennon lights. They are the color of every other cars headlights. Is there a kit out there that will convert this to HID angel eyes.

What company are are the best for quality and for fitment.

O have searched a lot and would still like some help.

Those are halogens. You could get lux halogens or some dtec bulbs on e92-lighting.

You should get the Lux for the AE bulbs, and upgrade your halogen low beam bulbs to 5000k or 6000k HID's. This way you have the angel eyes, and you get rid of that ugly yellowish halogen color.

Throw some fogs in there too while youre at it!

Hm, never looked into that. Why is that?

I figured it was fine since there are numerous people with HID's in their halogen lights.

it doesnt focus the light and have a proper cutoff so you blind the living daylights out of on coming traffic.

I went ahead and ordered the Lux angel eyes e90 lci halogens. Cant wait for them to arrive. From what everyone is saying, I should not do HIDs for the high/lows. What should i do instead. Just get a brighter buld. And I do want to match the headlights with the fogs. Not a big fan of the yellow fogs. I would like them to match. Any suggestions.

BTW, Im going to start a thread of my build. Just got the car and so far have only done tints (20%) all around. I ordered the Lux AEs and some matte black 19 v710s. I would love input on whatelse to do. Mod wise.

They wouldn't have HID kits for HALOGEN cars if people don't do it, easy and cheaper way then getting projectors, sorry of anyone disagrees.

For the headlights, look into a whiter bulb. Cheap options are gp thunders. you could do silverstar ultra HDs, I had those on my e46 and looked much better than the stock bulb. Just do the same kelvin for the fogs.

Got the Lux AEs in today and will be installing them hopefully within the next couple days. Hopefully the install will go well and not have any problems. Seems like its pretty easy tho.
