Front halo lights

I know this has probably been covered is spades. Traded 2009 x6 5.0 for 2011 x5m today. Great looking and driving car. I just don't like the amber colored halo lights. Prior owner must have changed the x6 because they were white. Who has a recommendation on what to buy to fix this. Any help much appreciated.

mTEC is the best IMHO. I had them on my F02 for over a year, no issues. It's almost as bright as the LCI halo rings. You can't go wrong with anything from mTEC.

I had Burger Bulbs on my last E70. It puts out an off white color (multi-color), which doesn't look LED. To achieve an LED look (pure white with a very subtle blue tint), you have to do LEDs. Even HID won't put out a pure white without color contamination.

HID also burn up wirings. Go with mTEC V3.

Does anyone know of a how-to for replacing these bulbs? Is it easiest to take th headlight out or access it through the fender splash sheild?

Any help is appreciated
