I think he has an LCI given its a 2009 model...

In the classified section have a look at the CREE LED bulbs. The voltage can also be coded a little higher. But if you are after a super bright light even in daylight you won't get it without upgrading the actual rings...

or have a look at something a bit more custom, get the imagination out and create something slightly more unique.

No I dont think so, LCI came out end of 2010? if it was LCI it would have the LED taillights and LED angel eye head lights as standard!

I maybe wrong though!

Thats only on the e92/3 models the LCI came in 2010

The LCI on the e90/1 came out in 2009 ive even seen a few 58 plate lci's

I have LUX H8 V3 in my E92. Not sure if they make them for the E90?

I'm very happy with them.

Yes that makes it an LCI.
What do you want better?
The angel eyes? Or the light output from the halogens or both?
Horizon led's are on the classified section for angel eye bulbs, and for the halogens you need phillips extreme vision bulbs

Like I said in my first post, it's an LCI.

Unless you want to spend a lot of money, just buy some from horizon as Reece suggests. Then up the voltage. They won't be amazing but still better than your current halogen angel eyes.

Yes sorry i werent disagreeing im on my phone so when you quote it adds it all in and you cant delete none of it.

Even with xenons your rings will stil be dull so if its purely for looks just upgrade the AE bulbs as to do a xenon upgrade will cost you nearly a grand
