2xcite e85 headlighs questions

[skmattwell]

I've been looking at the e85 2xcite headlights as my current oem ones are now letting in significant condescension.

I know there's already a few threads covering how to wire these headlights, but I was wondering if anyone here had a long term review of them. Are they any good? Better or worse than oem? Any condensation issues?

It wouod make me much more confident whether to bite the bullet!

I’ve had them about 2 years now! Can’t fault them

I've had 2xcite Sonar headlights fitted on my Z4 for almost 7 years now. I have previously posted about my experiences with them. Click on the link and then about half way down the page

Wow they look fantastic, I've also got a sterling grey roadster with black rims so that gives me a great idea of how they'll look!

Did you guys wire the angel eyes into the sidelight? Worried about getting the bulb light on the dash

I wired the angel eyes, 'eyebrows' and central LEDs all into the sidelights as in this photo Fit some good bright LEDs in the eyebrows. I had the occasional bulb error which just wouldn't code out so eventually cured it with ballast resistors. No issues other than that.
Buy direct from 2xcite as they include the level adjustment motors
