Which headlights

Hi guys I have a sapphire black pre lci E91 and after fitting carbon fibre splitters and grills I am now thinking about replacing head lights for some angel eyed headlights.

I can either stay oem and buy a set of halogen AE from a lci and changing the AE lamps for some Cree's.

Or a set of these.

Just wondering what you guys would do.

I do like the idea of staying oem but also think the ebay ones being smoked and dark internals would make my car super aggressive which I would like.

dont buy those off ebay , i did and you cant see the light rings during the day stick with bmw units and good luck finding some at a good price

these are the ones i bought, so the ones above maybe better but i doubt it

As you know Russ I have the lights you linked. And I am very happy with them. Granted the rings are not the brightest but the light is crisp, defined and a lovely blueish white colour. I personally have seen soo many BMWs with rings that are soooo bright they glare and just look like a blob of light and not a ring, even during the day.

Theres ways of improving the light output aswell if you have the dollar or knowledge.

Some pics taken on a sunny day on this thread.

As I conceded they are not anywhere near as bright as some I've seen. But for plug and play for just over £200 I'm very happy. They get plenty of looks and comments when out and about.

Thanks Russ. Josh's lights have been number 1 on my wish list ever since I first saw them, but they have a few practicality issues which I would struggle with (such as being without lights until they're done and what to do when I eventually sell the car as I don't think it can easily be brought back to standard )

I hope to be able to ask him to work his magic on them one day!

Josh's lights are the best. When random people ask you while driving about the lights you know!

As for going back to standard, i'd just swap them with some originals off another member plus cash your way
