However still confused: the M3 comes with Xenon lights. I was told I need the D1s instead of the 7500Ks? Can you tell me what type I need if I want whiter lights on my M3 Sedan w/Xenon lights?

Thanks!
A.

The D1S bulbs are to change the Xenons. The H8 bulbs are to change your angel eyes (aka DRLs). If you want different colors on your xenon lights (and not the angel eyes), e-mail me or PM me. I got bulbs for yoU

hahaha well I got the LED versions on my car, and they're definitely appealing at night time. I love how they don't dim down when the xenon's come on.

Thanks James,

I figured out I don't want to change the Xenons, just the Halos, preferably in LEDs and white look, not blue(ish). What do you recommend?
PM if you want. Thanks

Any LEDs or Halogens that can beat the brightness of stock coronas??

Picture made at noon on a completely sunny day with Canon S5 - Auto

And I mean brightness, not whiteness.

Thanks.

IM PRETTTTY SURE that HIDs (bulbs and ballysts) would be brighter then stock.

Yep, HIDs will be A LOT brighter than stock but I don't recommend it. We tested this on a few cars and found the HID bleeds into the housing and ruins the look of the round rings.

H7 only if you don't have an M3...

And, thanks for the PM. I think we need to put the info here too: M3 E90 is H8, other E90 is H7.

PS @Nick:
Any update on this, 8/15/08:
"We will be debuting an LED based kit for the E92 very soon. We are currently finalizing the design and testing it on several vehicles to make sure the installation is straight forward with no error codes."
I assume this will fit on M3 E90 as well?

E92-Lighting · 09-29-2008, 07:06 PM

link doesnt work but any h8 should be fine for e92 coupe and 08 m3 e90

There are already some LEDs that came out. Here's a picture of it on my car:

These LEDs are nice and visible at night time, and it doesn't dim like what the halogens do.

Ok and who makes those?

Atny286 · 10-01-2008, 10:50 AM

I'd prefer daytime pics of LEDs, as all eyes look awesome in dark...

So, if any, please post...

JEllis · 10-01-2008, 02:33 PM

Not sure I would like them to look blue....Keep them bright white

It's like any other aftermarket/blue angel eyes..it's hard to see during the day, but it's still visible. The LEDs are special though because they don't dim like the halogen GP Thunders do. They stay nice and blue and bright during the night, so it looks great.

These are made by X5 Lightning here: http://www.**********s.com/product.a...D_Angel_Eye_JS

islandguy19 · 10-05-2008, 04:01 AM

so are there any BRIGHT WHITE (ARCTIC) LEDS for the daytime running lamps and the xenon headlights? LEDS only PLEASE! tired of the halogen lamp bulbs.

Speedtrap · 10-05-2008, 04:21 AM

Something off the thread a little; does anyone know how to switch the angels off manually, and only make them come on when you actually turn on the light switch? Thanks a heap.
