Hellst XRT H8 LED Angel Eye X5M Installed Pics!

qadhi79 · 06-22-2013, 09:24 AM

Bought these Hellst XRT H8 LED Angel Eye from BimmerEyes for my X5M. I have seen some other LEDs but this is the brightest of them all! Expected installation time is less than 10 minutes but I took a little longer because of my big hands. The package came with accurate installation instructions. Ross@BimmerEyes was prompt to respond to my emails and shipped almost instantly!

There are three corners in the BMW light socket insert which are of different size so make sure you look at your old yellow bulbs and align the new LEDs the same way..I found this to be the fastest way of installing the lights.

The yellow halogens looked dirty with my LED fog lamps but now the truck looks perfect :thumbup:

LED strips gotta go. makes the M look cheap! just my two cents

i think the LED's look okay. if he likes them, go for it. at least the blue colors match.

BMW makes OEM LED stripes for X5 in EU market.
I think that's OEM daylight LEDs. Looks good to me personally.

I would like to see these lights side-by-side the LED coronas so I can see how close they come to the real deal...

Each to his own but i hate LEDs its too trendy, every POS tuner car on the road has them stuck some where. You did execute them well with the perfect match to the coronas...personally its just not my taste
