X5 E70 LCI Angel Eyes issue

Hello all,

I have an issue with a 2012 X5 E70 LCI where only one of the angel eyes are white and the three others are a low intensity orange. What could be the issue? Can any one advise?

I had very dim (looked to be stock) angel eyes on my 2011 X5. I just bought brighter LEDs and swapped them in. Here's a pic

The outers look like they're not illuminating but they are it was just the angle of the picture. For our cars if I'm not mistaken, is one bulb for both halos per headlight.

Looks like you have different bulbs in each headlight. Yellow is stock and white is aftermarket.
two options - make both yellow by buying the replacement bulbs.. should be cheap ~$10 they will be brighter, but yellow. or buy a set of aftermarket white bulbs for $20 on ebay. not as bright but white.
