New eyes fitted

[hennabm]

Having had about 6 months travel and over 1000 miles in my X5 I decided to treat it to some new eyes as the others were looking quite dated.

I bought a pair of Depo Angel eyes off the bay of e and fitting was easy. Just plug and play. They are not xenon but still improve the front end in my view.
A new bonnet badge helps improve the overall look.

Oh and yesterday the mpg clicked up to 16.4mpg, so improving all the time

That looks spot on big improvement.

Thank you Reusch.

I just bought a set of angel eyes for my E70 as well as the originals are yellow light and about 1 candle power. Those ones look nice and bright.

Hi Leslie

I saw some yellow angel eyes on eBay from a U.K. supplier but was looking for the bright white ones. Thankfully I found what I was looking for.
I know the Depo name after friends have used the same brand. I did see other makes but wasn’t sure of the quality.

Any reason why you cannot go down the xenon road (fit conversion kit), would cost about £30all in, as I have done to my 2002 e53 with splittable headlights

Hi Lez

Thanks for the info. I was told it would be more than that as I would have to get the control unit for xenon lamps which was about £100 second hand.

That was the only reason. Hey ho. I'll stick with what I have.

By the way yours look good. Where did you get the lamp protectors from?

[lezmtaylor]

Bought them a couple of years ago, well made and cost 24.99 with free postage from direct 4x4, still on ebay same price item no. 362176979060.
