go to getbmwparts.com and buy the new LCI(09-10) halogen headlights. They have angel eyes and are plug and play oem....or you could get a halogen to xenon conversion for a bit more....good choice not going with the aftermarket stuff...

This probably the cheapest way to get angel eyes on your car. You can also upgrade from they stock yellowish look on these by buying the Lux 5 for LCI Halogen kit and upgrading the OEM high/low beams on them with Mtech bulbs....


Getting the OEM xenons retrofited is the other option but I think it costs more and the lights have to be modified to be plug and play...

No actually, it doesn't. You have to upgrade to them, but since I bought it used and mine didn't have them, i gotta buy them.

I have a 2007 e90 with stock halogens and no angel eyes. Is the only way to get angel eyes to get new headlights that have the halos in them? Or is there a mod that I could apply to the stock headlights to get the angel eyes?

I've done quite a bit of reading on angel eyes in the forum, and it seems like all are just about which bulbs/ballasts/kits to use. Those kits can only be applied to those that already have the halos in the OEM headlights, correct?

If that could be cleared up, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

You could get aftermarket halos, but you probably won't have the harness to power it since you dont angel eye bulbs. You would have to find a way to power them. You could just get the depo xenons, and since now they have led angel eyes, they look very good.
