In the end, whether you do halogen or LED lights, it will never look like the OEM LED coronas. It's a limitation of the design, and the only thing your bulbs will do is change the color of the emitted light.

There are two options: get an X5 that already has the updated LED coronas, or spend a few dollars on some aftermarket halogen or LED lights. They won't ever look anywhere close to the OEM LEDs, but will get rid of the piss yellow that comes as OEM. Just don't spend too much money on it, as it's just not worth it.
Thanks P1, I appreciate you take the time for putting the whole pic together, been considering myself the upgrade but this is clear as 'LED bulbs'!
