Best LED Angel Eye upgrade for E70 X5M
I have a 2012 X5M and im wondering what is the best company to go with to upgrade the angel eyes to LED's?
Also, i want to get black grills in the front and is their any specific company that is recommended? or just find a reputable seller on eBay for them? Thanks everyone |

I thought all 2012+ (and the late 2011 builds) of the X5 all came with LEDs from the factory. Perhaps that is different on the X5M models.
Either way, I opted to not go the LED route because they're expensive and the issues of the outer rings not illuminating would bother me. These are the results I got with the PIAA Xtreme White H8 bulbs: I have the PIAA Xtreme White H8 bulbs and am quite happy with them, especially since they were only $70 shipped. Before: After: I did just order the PIAA Precious White H8 bulbs for my wife's 135i. They are 4800K as opposed to the ones I have in my X5 which are 4150K. |

PIAA is cheaper, but it wasn't the white and intensity I was looking for when I had a 2011 X5. Link below. Talk to Steve, tell him Jimmy sent you. He might give you a deal. http://www.mteclightingusa.com/category_s/1854.htm (X5m might use X6 spec, but they're the same part) |
