Alpine 8000k HID Angel Eyes Installed!

Templar · 09-20-2010, 01:11 PM

Yep! Another one from Alex! These things are bright! I haven't had any issues since I put them in today, but I will be sure to update anyone with issues, if any!

The install was very easy. I was unsure about it, but I watched the video last night and decided to take the plunge today after work.

I can say this, the most difficult part about the install is twisting the bulbs into the small holes and making sure they are pushed in properly. Mine fell out repeatedly until I did it right, and even though I have pretty small hands, it was still difficult to maneuver back there without much room to work. I finally got them though. I stopped from time to time to take pictures as well during and after the install. I will try to get some night shots tonight and post them up here soon!

EDIT: Pics deleted since I no longer have the Alpine HIDs.

Nice

ssabripo · 09-20-2010, 03:27 PM

I wish I knew 100% sure that they wont give a Check Light, or I'd be on them too.

哇靠M3 · 09-20-2010, 03:45 PM

Definitely no CEL light. Even when one ballast is bad...

richardbb85 · 09-20-2010, 03:54 PM

i can vouch for no CEL, have had mine for almost 2 months now.

I took some last night... I will try to get them up today after work. As with most of the other night shot photos with the Alpine HID's, they don't do it much justice. In the pics they seem to blob together with the headlights, however in person they are very defined and look great. They are SO bright, in fact you could probably drive with just the Angel Eyes on and no headlights! Also, it doesn't seem anyone else on the road has an issue with them, as I drove around last night and no one was flashing me at all.

I will edit this post with some night pics tonight!

Templar · 09-22-2010, 09:30 AM

Yea, mine is an '11 E92, don't see why they wouldn't be the same for an E90!

Here are a couple of night shots and some other daytime photos... Like I said, the night shots don't really do the lights justice at all!

EDIT: Pics deleted.
