first question: I have a couple questions in regards to the angle eyes i have seen.


My 07 has the stock yellow angle eyes and i want to make them white. A friend of myn did his but they do not look as good as some of the ones i have seen online or even on the street. His look like one is brighter than the other. His is the one on the left and what i want is Red car on the right. can someone recommend a brand or point me in the direction i need to get the extremely bright ones. The last picture is what he has and the first two is pretty much what i want.456510456511456512


Second questions: The car came with a Dinan muffler and air box. The Dinan muffler seems much quitter then i expected. What is the best set up to run this muffler to get a nice deep exotic sound?

For AE's, look at LUX H8 bulbs.

LUX are the best. They cost more than the average bulb but they are worth it. I went with WeissLicht and I regret it. 10 emails and $22 later I got a new pair but they still aren't perfect. Get LUX.

So what you guys are saying is that the first two pictures i attached have the LUX bulbs? If not, do you have pictures of a car with the LUX bulbs!

Link was helpful, Is the LUX kit Just replacement of bulbs or do they require additional wiring etc?

Should be just the bulb fixture. Read the install kit. When you go to do it you'll understand, hopefully.

All AE's will just be bulbs, they are just plug and play. Remove old AE bulb, plug in new AE bulb. They have a resistor built in, because they are using LED's, but there is no additional wiring to do, just plug into the same connector you removed from the stock bulb. The hardest part of the install is getting your hands inside of the headlight housing to mount the new bulb. If you know someone with small hands (girlfriend or small child), get them to do it, it will be much easier. Like ndog said, there are install directions on the LUX site if you are curious.

As far as what product is in the above pictures, I have no idea.

There are many brands out there, LUX is one of the best. They are fairly expensive for what they are, but they are worth it, are very bright and have minimal problems.

That pretty much sums it up for me. Thank you so much. Was just so confused because on my 2003 330i i had to take out the complete assembly and install new rings etc. And i came a few videos on youtube of people doing that and it wasnt something i want to do again with a 335i. So as long as its just replacing the bulbs sounds good and easy. Helped my friend do his but looks like crap. i guess thats what he gets for buying a 40$ bulbs on ebay.
