Can one of please point me to a post on audio upgrade.
Am new to this site and also BMW family.
I bought a CPO and it came with base stereo system. X5 2011 x5 diesel.
Please advise how I can update my audio with some better. I love music and I cannot stand the current one.

Could you, please, modify the topic title? Your question is about audio upgrade, but topic title talks about pre-LCI angel eyes..

The topic title doesn't need modifying - there are three pages of angel eye discussion. He posted in the wrong thread!

Agreed, I started this thread and it has nothing to do w/ audio….

To the guy who is not happy w/ his audio system…..shoulda done more research and found an X5 with the upgraded audio system. Night and day difference….

Just installed the eBay led's. Perfect! No flickering, the 6k I ordered are not too aftermarket bright and even quality looks good!

$39 good invested. Saved almost the amount of a JBD. Lol

I put a set of HellST in. They dim correctly, have no flicker, and were reasonably priced. Not as insanely bright as some of the others, but a nice brightness, in my opinion.

The eBay seller already cranked the price up by $6 since I bought them beginning March.

Since I had a few PM's where I ordered the CREED LED's, here is the link.

any of you guys with the LUX V4 experience flickering when shutting them off.

on the X6 Forum I have read that.

If so maybe Weisslicht is better?

Hell yes If you look for a close to newer oem optic and want to save $.
They do and look exactly the same as all others just cost a fraction.

You could invest this saved money in a beer for me. Lol
If you want aftermarket extreme blue you need to look further.

My father (for his x5) already ordered them since I bought mine.

This may be an obvious question: I'm looking to grab the eBay bulbs, do I need to purchase two pairs (total of 4 bulbs) to replace all the lights?

Or is each side connected to just 1 bulb?

eBay option received. Good quality by look and feel. Install was a breeze and looks great!

No codes, no flicker!
