  • LUX Angel eyes instead of BMS
  • Convert your halo rings to BavarianX LS3. Bright white and the halo is incredibly sharp, like TRON sharp. I plan to do this myself someday.
  • Or coding - I've heard there's an option to recode so the bulbs appear much bright, although this shortens their life - you basically keep OEM bulbs and they're only $12-14 to replace if you buy them anywhere but the dealer.
Thanks! Good info. Too bad that the E92 option is a no go. I'm gonna check the Bavarian X option. If I just change bulbs to a 6500k bulb will there be any errors?
