Laser lights?

Super Spartan · 03-14-2021, 10:31 PM

Are there any laser lights available for the M3 E9x?

I upgraded to the LUX H8 189 Angel Eyes recently but was wondering if there are laser lights for the E9x similar to the ones in the new BMWs now.

Very different tech and I doubt retrofits - if ever - would work well with traditional HID reflectors/lenses.

You can do a full LED retrofit on your lights but that would mean hacking up your harness to make it work. Really not worth it. What are you trying to achieve? Depending on your year and mileage I would look at doing new ballast for your lights and new bulbs.

I upgraded my stock hid bulbs to the Phillips xtreme vision 2 and noticed a difference. Then I went and changed out my lens from the plastic lens to glass lens and that made a big difference in light output also. Along with new headlight outside lens.

For the lux I think those are overpriced for what they do. I got a set of led h8 bulbs that are way brighter than the lux.

I have it on my g05 x5. I'm under the impression that in order to retro fit, you would need to do an entire housing modification and most definitely not just a bulb change. Even upgrading the us domestic laser head light spec to the euro version requires an entire headlight swap and is very costly.

I have the LUX H8 189 Angel Eyes and while they are bright, I dunno when I see my friend's Lexus IS350 his lights like flash instantly to full brightness so when he's on the road and flashes people it it instantly flashing to max brightness thats why I was wondering if there were any Laser lights that could be retrofitted similar to the latest BMW laser lights in the new models but from the replies I got here, I guess not.

Where did you get glass lenses?

You can get them from bavgruppe (the HID lens), not the outer plastic shell case/cover (although they sell that too).
