Mate! Those shoes look great!

It's crazy how changing something as simple as the alloys already have a profound change to the car!

Looking forward to future upgrades!

So before I even knew about this website, I had heard of LED upgrades. I was driving an Audi prior to this and I'd always see "BMW Angel eye LEDs"!
I went on eBay and found these 8000k bulbs:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/POWER-SELL...ht_4923wt_1219
- i think theyve increased the price because I paid £35

They're awesome at Night, however in daytime they're pretty weak. However it's a similar story for most LED kits out there. I know some users have LUX LED bulbs but they're pretty expensive at approx £180! I havent really seen the results in person, but I only hear positive things about them!

thanks mate. i might invest in a set of bms led bulbs, they look decent but no where near as good as lci. Ive seen some led bulbs that are wide angled 60 degree or something to "provide maximum light output" not sure how much of it is true lol il make a new post on it to get some input/feedback if any.

Hey!

Ive used the MTEC V3 bulbs and they are really good, they cost £100 and you can get them from hids direct, google them.......

I have also my back lights to LCI and they are well worth it, i will try and put some pictures up. I got these from ebay for £450 delivered
