Hyper white Angel Eyes for F01/F02

Hey guys, I'm very new here but have been reading a lot of posts by various ppl. Am waiting for my 2012 F01 which is on order and will be ready towards end of November. So are the wheels (22'') Forged One, staggered and Deep concave Seven Mesh. Also the project is in place at the shop for a lot of Mods. Can't wait, really excited and is going to be a magazine car for sure.
The only thing that is kind of still in the air for me is that I can't figure out what to do with those ugly amber color angel eyes. Wish BMW would have put those beautiful LED angel eyes on all of their models and not decide to exclude the 7 series until the LCI facelift :/
So any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated....
Thanx guys

Alex

And does anybody know what kind of technology BMW uses for these new angel eyes??

Thx guys

I have them and they are by far the best one I used without getting any error messages and overheating

They use LEDs you won't be able just to get something as a ply and play to get to that level of brightness

I agree with DjVolume 100%. It totally kills the point of angel eyes.
I currently have an X5 4.8i '09 with the HID h8 angel eyes and for past 3 years it just never seemed right to me. It was still better than stocks but it was just like having an extra headlight bulb....lol
Not what I would put on my new F01. Maybe on a 3 but not a 7er.
It's gotta be crisp and look original.
I'm currently working with UMnitza owner/installer of these angel eyes and am probably have them do my headlights to install original looking beautiful angel eye rings in a perfect color. The headlight has to be cut open but they are guaranteeing perfection. I will keep everyone posted about the progress of this project..... Until then, if somebody has a better product with pics to show, I'd love to see it.

I'll take some pics with my Nikon of the Phillips bulbs they are as close as you can get to stay away from the yellow bulb to the led look

Would love to see them regardless.
But tell me, isn't it true that once you turn on the headlights they either turn off or turn into regular amber color?? Please let me know and looking forward to ur pics....
Thx
