E70 lighting upgrade

Advice on angel eye/ lighting upgrade on 2009 E70 X5. Doesn't have Xenons so lighting is pretty crappy. advice? Is it just a matter of buying brighter globes?

(also keen to swap orange angel eye look for white. Any cheaper eBay led globes that won't trigger error light?)

Go Lux or Weisslicht. I bought $30 ebay then $60 Amazon then finally went $160 Lux. The cheaper ones are garbage and you will be sorry you wasted your money.
