Mein Auto: 2009 X6
Upgraded my Angel Eyes....

Hi,

I upgraded my angel eyes yesterday on my 2009 X6 5.0 with the upgrade Led Cree bulbs from ijdmtoy. And even though its nicer than the stock, i am not happy....not bright enough.

I will be returning them and I am either going to install the bulb from LUX or go for xenon kit from Alpine.

I did the same thing on both my former X5 and my current X6. That outer ring is just not bright enough. I finally settled on LUX and am very happy. LUX is very much bright enough (you can see your reflection in the paint of the car in front of you in broad daylight). The LUX color is just a bit whiter than the color of the BMW Xenon lights.

I have no experience with Alpine.

Go with Lux. They are a bit pricey but 100% worth it. You can order through Lux one at Bimmian.com. Good luck.
