I might get this as a B-day present for myself in April and was just wondering how much work it is to install both. Also do you have pics of the beam pattern of the HID. And lastly do DEPOs have DRL functionality in "Auto" mode?

The replacement of the LED's I found to be quite easy. I didn't need to use any tools or tweezers, I just used my hands and went slow. If you have large hands you might need tools, but long needle nose pliers will work. The Ballast were places directly behind the head light on the inner side of the wheel well. (see picture below) the kit comes with everything you need to mount the ballast including mounting rails and nuts and screws. I got you a picture of the beam pattern, it is not the best it was taken on an iPhone but it was when I started my car this morning and had an opportunity to take it. There is a light against the wall but you still can see it and get an idea. I will try to get a better photo for you. Also, I have not fully set the beams correctly so the light is slightly higher with a curve at the top of the pattern but that should go down once I bring the beams down more. As for having the AE's as DRL's its not possible with just the basic install. You would need to do some extra wiring which is covered in a DIY on this forum somewhere. I just move the light switch to the right one spot from the center and it will run the AE's alone. I hope that about sums it all up for it for everything you asked. |

lighthouse Sonar Halo E87
Hello folks, I bought a lighthouse Sonar Halo by ebay, and I'm thinking he's scruffy, this overshadowed the people on the right side. The left side is a perfect line.
Alquem have any tips? Information? Had to adjust the lens opening this lighthouse? |

I believe Brazil is RHD just like the U.S. If that's the case, then the beam pattern is correct. However, it looks like the passenger's side light is aimed significantly higher than the driver's side, which would cause the problems you're pics are demonstrating. That being said, the lights you have, have a European beam pattern, which has a step up to the right and looks normal to me.

Hey!
Perfect with all these pics and ideas! Thanks! But I just bought these lamps and installed them on my 120d Coupe yesterday. But I'm not wildly impressed with the brightness of my Angle Eyes. So just one question; Are there any possibility to make them brighter? |

Any night pics of the lights, maybe with a beam pattern and cutoff shot, too? I would appreciate it! All the manufacturer pics of those lights are blown out and make the angel eyes seem extremely bright, which I doubt they are (especially with your comment about making them brighter).

Except Ebersbach's lights aren't Depos. I believe they're Sonars and I don't think the LEDs that light the angel eyes are user-replaceable. Not 100% on that, however.

Not sure how to mod the sonar lights, although I did see a user on this forum install a LED ring in the Depo lights. Maybe the sonars can be modded the same. http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showt...07#post8620007 |

Hi guys, I have a 2012 that came with halogens (unfortunately) and I am getting ready to purchase a pair of Depo's but do they come with a silver housing instead of black like they have at http://www.**********s.com/Depo-Headlights-E82.htm? I already purchases these LED's for the angel eyes http://www.ebay.de/itm/20-SMD-LED-T5...#ht_8817wt_986, but now I am waiting to see if they make a silver housing...

so sadly my 128 came with halogen's as well and i'm dying to get mine angel eye'd, the factory xenon route is stupid expensive, so what would i need all together to get mine swapped to angel eye's without changing all the wiring etc? I'm clueless when it comes to this and it's my first bmw. i've been reading through but am slowly realizing i know nothing about headlights
