I am contemplating updating to LED Halos and was wondering if anyone can recommend any please ?

I have seen a few varying between £40 and £225

Thanks

Just remember-
LED DRLs on none LCI cars look nothing like the LCI version. The none LCI car lights are a very different design and dont allow the light to flow around the light tubes very well. This means that the inner rings tend to appear around 3 times brighter than the outers, no matter what bulb you fit. You can see exactly what I mean on the pic below if you look at the passenger side light. The drivers side looks equal, but its just at the right angle, normally its the same as the passenger side.

Personally, Im a big fan of the ebay specials here:

I had these fitted to my none LCI and they looked pretty good.

I would say they are as bright as any Ive seen and at just over £20 delivered, they are an absolute steal. You cannot go wrong, take 2 mins to fit and no bulb errors, I was totally delighted with them for the price.

Got an LCI car now tho..... :roll:
 
Thanks for that, yes I've seen a few reports
Of differing light levels.. I'll have a look on Ebay
 
Had a think and and decided to have a punt on some 5000k H8 Halogens to see if they are any good ..only £11.99 ..anyone else got any experience of these ?

Only thing I am a bit miffed about us that as soon as the HIDS are on they dim right down so they look like the original bulbs..do the LED's do the same ?

Before and after with the same eBay bulbs Kugaman1 had is posted here: http://www.z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=78611&p=1479919#p1479919

Now that dark nights are here I’m impressed with the colour matching and brightness!
 
Jut resurrecting this thread as I bought the led bulbs off eBay for £15. Took 5 mins to change and a nice cheeky little mod - here’s a comparison. I’m really happy with them! :D

It was these ones: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Canbus-120W-H8-LED-Angel-Eye-Halo-Ring-Light-Bulb-For-BMW-E82-E90-E60-E61-E63-X6/292123782537?hash=item4403ef2d89:g:ZkwAAOSwxu5ZH-x7

Took about a week and a half to arrive. I only paid £15 for them too (I used the offer button).
 
thanks a lot for the info

this is strange though: This item doesn't fit BMW Z4 Roadster 2011 E89 [2009-2018] Convertible Convertible sDrive 23i 2497ccm 204HP 150KW (Petrol).
