The Newly Upgraded Angel Eyes

Posted: Feb 14, 2011 |Comments: 0 |

BMW First introduced angel eyes (well, they termed them Corona Rings) in the early E39 5er nearly 10 years ago. The technology have grown brighter and better since then. Eventually, after an eternity of incrementally improving theseangel eyes, they actually got it right in 2010 and 2011, graduating a majority of their vehicles to Pure White, uber-bright angel eyes. The tuner scene has always been modifying BMW Angel Eyes to look whiter and more noticeable, but now, thecars show up from the factory this way. This has increased the expectation dramatically, and made it even more desirableto make yourolder model BMWlook like the latest models.

Thankfully there exist a ton of solutions available for you.

If your car did not come with angel eyes, like the E46, E36, or even the E90 cars sans xenon lights, there are products that will add halos to your vehicle. They used to come in Cold Cathode technology, but this has recently been replaced with hyper-bright LED technology. Most of the LED kits offer over 80 LEDs per ring, which provides a brighter, whiter output.Additionally, if you do not have Xenon headlights at all, you probably want to check out a pair of Projector Headlights, and get both fixed up at once. This helps you upgrade the old, faded, rock-chipped front lights with some new ones,adding LED angel eyes at the same time. I recommend WeissLicht LED Angel Eyes, but you can also find kits from acollection of other places, if you are so inclined.

say your car DID come with angel eyes, there is simply no need to open or remove thems to move to that hyper-white effect. Just upgrade the light bulb behind the angel eyes, with a set of WeissLicht BMW Angel Eyes Upgrade bulbs. The WeissLicht bulbs come in a number of different fitments for a variety of models, ranging from the E82 all the way to theE70, and everything in between. One point to consider, though, is that these kits unfortunately simply cannot make your angel eyes as bright as the new OEM ones from BMW. This is because they rely on a different method of illumination - fiberoptics - which limits the light a bit. (In the most recent BMW Angel Eyes from the manufacturer, they use an abundance of LEDs in the rings, just like in the rings WeissLicht makes to add angel eyes to E46 cars). At any rate, you willdiscover that these systems are sufficient to make your angel eyes extremely nice and white. If you insist on having the brightest, most aggressive angel eyes, you will have to go with an HID kit in the angel eye light source (I don't suggest it) or go with a kit by OSS Systems. For $600plus, they will have you ship your car's headlights to OSS, then bake them open andglue in LED rings. I don't recommend this either, though, mainly because you can upgrade to WeissLicht for like $149, and I don't think the difference is worth 4 times as much.
