Group buy LED Angel Eyes

[topher91]

So as I am back on the BMW team from a short stint with a Benzo, I wanted to upgrade the halo angel eyes on my X5.

I didn't wanna pay $250 + shipping for the popular LUX version which are definitely awesome. So I found a manufacturer who would give us a good deal for a product.





Anyways, if I get enough interest, I will order them.

They will go for $110/pair and will light up all 4 halos.

Please post any interest here!

================================================



SO getting interest in these lights so I will start a list here. I was able to get 2 sets for "testing" purposes but the next order I have to get at least 10. I guess you could order more then 1 set too.

When I hit 10 orders, I will take 50% deposits via Paypal or cash then place the order. The other 50% will be due on pickup/drop-off.

1. jonni44 x 1 Picked up! thanks!
2. sillysod x 1 (deposit paid) thanks!
3. realazy x 1 Picked up! Thanks!
4. 96integra x 1 Picked up! Thanks
5. reserved (non-beyond member) x 1 (deposit paid) thanks!
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.

Shipping time when I ordered was pretty damn quick (less then 7 business days), so when I get 10 sets ordered, it shouldn't take too long at all.

If anyone still wants to see my set in person, hit me up with a PM and I will send you my digits.

Cheers

Potentially interested.

Do you have any more info on the specific product?

[topher91]

Not really... They are made from Cree LED technology which is the claim to fame as per the manufaturer.

I was able to convince the manufaturer to sell me 2 sets to test out. when I get them, I will post pictures of what it looks like in the daylight and dark.

So keep posted here. Should be less then 2 wks for me to get them.

Are they the same ones that TopGearSolutions is offering people to test on E90post?

Avail for E60?

Hmm... not so clear for me.

I have an '09 "LCI" E90 335i.

I did some checking (ebay, vendor sites, etc.) and it seems there's always a distinction between pre-LCI and LCI cars, whether they have xenon or halogen lights stock, etc. which affect which angel eye kits will be compatible with which models.

k well.............. Last time I serviced my BMW they told me a conversion kit for my halos would be around 8400 bucks. no lie.

my cars over 100k, you drive a nice car too, why haggle around for 100 dollar kit.. I would gladly pay for a conversion, but that prices seems way too low, and looks like a risk. the other day, I saw an older bmw with this conversion, and it looked like shit.

Im down for trying out something, but only if its the best, and it works... that picture above looks like it works, but you really have no idea what kits in that x5

Burger Tuning's got a set for $120USD. How do these compare?

Buddy....its a light bulb replacement.

This isn't meant to add halo angel eyes to cars that do not have any to begin with.

The angel eyes are run off an H8 halogen bulb. These simply replace that bulb with an LED light bulb to change the colour. But sinceLEDs require less Watts to operate, there's a module attatched to the bulb that tricks the computer to think there's still a full electrical draw of power so there are no errors.

Ya get??

I'm not making anyone buy it!! Just thought some people would like to try it ti have a different look because honestly I think it looks better then what is currently there.

I'm guessing InRich has a 2011 X5 which has the halogen Corona Rings and the dealership offered to upgrade him to the new OEM LED Corona Ring headlights. So that cost was for two new housings and labour, which would be the 8k.

[topher91]

^^

Yup I think so

[JustinMCS]

But I'd be interested to see how yours turn out. I'm undecided on my e90. I would rather have bright halogen Corona Rings than dim white LED Corona Rings.

Off topic...but how are your fender flares holding up??

We did a few under warranty from bmw. Seems like a big problem. Just wondering if they started putting rock guard on em now.

Agreed...that's why I'm trying them out for everyone

they'd look like fucking GARBAGE if Jed didn't 3M them for me when I first purchased the car. I wasn't even going to 3M them until he told me that they would get fucked if I didn't.

what do you mean you did them under warranty?

I'm not trying to haggle. I've got no problem with the price.

But even $100 is a waste if I order a kit that's not compatible with my particular model.

I was just trying to clarify the compatibilities.

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

My 135i already has them but it says I can buy an aftermarket set

Oh I work at an autobody shop. Some customers came in, complained to the dealership and we refinished the flares. The dealership paid the bill.

I think they are putting the stone shield on them now.

Sorry no idea how they compare yet. I have never tried either of them...that is why I am trying this for everyone to see what they are like.

Burger is selling a Halogen light as compared to these ones I have ordered which are LED's.

I'm not sure but LED = Brighter then Halogen??? That's my guess.

[genesis0403]

I actually inquired TopGearSolutions about these today
