2011 x6 aftermarket led angel eye halo rings

Don't really like the yellow rings, has anyone installed cool white ones? Is it difficult? Worth it? Any brands that work awesome?

You can do the WeissLicht LED Angel Eyes which are a direct xenon white LED replacement that is plug and play and error free.

Here is a review from a fellow member:

There are a few members that have installed and posted so you can search to find more reviews.

LEDs run at less power draw and temperature output than the factory halogens so they aren't prone to issues. Dealers are typically okay with such a simple upgrade, they legally cannot outright void your warranty because you have an aftermarket part.

I replaced mine with PIAA and it get rid of the yellowish light from the factory...but, during bright day light, it hardly can be seen from a distance! After all...I'm happy with it! Will post some pic here once my car is back from the workshop.

This might help...after I spent 2 weeks in a new 5 series I decided I had to have that look in my X6 when I got it back. I bought the Weisslight Bulbs from a sponsor on here and the look is identical to the new 5 series. Install was easy and no error codes. The total cost was $150.00. Take a look at the car and decide before you buy!

Thanks. A lot of the bulbs look great at night, it's in the daytime that separates the good from the bad.

How are these in daylight and sunlight? I've heard and seen in some pics they don't look all that bright at all when compared to others such as LUX etc?
