Xenon Halo Upgrade- Bimmian.com???

Hey guys,

I've wanted to change my HALOs to the brighter/whiter ones.
Where have most of you guys done this? I hear bimian.com is a good place..anyone use theirs?

Also i want to do the interior lighting kit also, 17 bulbs for the E93.

A lot of us have installed the GP Thunders. Do a search for that and you will find a few threads about it.

Not sure about interior lights....

We carry the Bimmian Xenesis Angel Eye Upgrades and installed a set on our E92. They are a great upgrade if you are looking for something that is more of a pure white without the harsh blue tone you get from some of the 8000k bulbs. They are a good match for either a 4300k or 6000k low beam setup as well.

Nice! I have been looking for a pure white solution for quite some time. I am new to BMW's, so I am unsure as to what is entailed in upgrading these bulbs. Do I only need two bulbs for all four angel eyes? Also, has anyone here had experience with these bulbs?

Thanks,
Carl

The set I bought direct from Bimmian did not fit (too loose).

It's just a bulb upgrade that is a pretty simple swap. If you open your hood, you will see a plastic cover over the top of the headlight that you can take off and access the bulb.

I got my interior lights from Bimian, they were good but the H8s from them didnt' fit good they were too loose. Got GP thunders 7500k for $15 they are great and white not blue or yellow.

We can get you products to change your Angel Eyes/Halos--that's no problem. I've been personally keeping up with the newest products out there that we do carry.

Some popular ones are as follows:
* LED E92 H8 Bulbs (works for the E93 as well)
* GP Thunder H8 Bulbs (These are halogen)

We carry all Bimmian products as well since we are Bimmian's retailer, and we'll be glad to get you some interior lighting kits along with that
