Help about Angel Eyes please...

Hi , i am new to this forum , and wanted to know an information about this bmw , i think this is best forum i could find to post so anyways, i have 2001 bmw 325i , there are some issues but car is mechanically good and i got it for good value , it gives me great mileage anywhere i go , any car can do that but , bmw is really comfortable on long trips especially when you are driving whole day 8 to 10 hrs , i really liked the car and decided to give it a good clean up after i have done with cleaning , i realized that the headlights are somewhat blurry so i asked my uncle who is retired ford mechanic , he told me to use some tooth brush and tooth paste and start scrubbing it , after i was done it was looking really good and like new but i saw this new bmw and start searching its headlight if its interchangeable , information i have collected are many and so on like millions when you write angel eyes bmw any where you write on the internet. Millions of videos , informations , sales and of course colors are involved , well i ended up here to start a thread about this . My question for you all out there who can give me idea about which brand , make for model (2001 325i) is best and can give me no headache if i install it, related questions are ; even if i connect it properly could it drain the battery in the middle of desert ? , could it cause electrical components to end up having damaged? could i set it on when i push my unlock key before i get in the car ? could it be used with no beams at all with just fogs on or daylights or normal beams or hight beams (my car doesnt seem to turn off its daylights its on all the time unless i switch on normal beams , is there a way i can turn it off? is there a way i can use both angel eyes and day lights? let me know any helpfull idea at this point ,i am about to purchase an angel eye kit but i decided to get your ideas before i do it , something inexpensive and good quality and usually sold and recommended , and of course will this going to be involved with replacing whole light assembly or just those ringy things ? if whole assembly , same questions i insists that should be applied for hid kits , will they drain my battery and start dropping the rpm everytime i turn them on? will this go deep and will i have to replace alternator with one that produces more amps? sorry for wasting whole bunch of your time to read this crap everyone. i apologize to post something useless for idiots like i am , but have intentions that everyone can lean something here with sharing ideas, color doesn't matter since im not racist , its a matter of how i want to see my car , don't like to be picky at choosing between 2 girls , but when it comes to this crap , i just ask you , lastly what goes with silver sorry for humiliating the thread for pair of lights

Get Orion V2 , or the new V4 from Umnitza. Easy to install, can be wired to come on when you unlock, won't drain battery, and look great.
Your DRL's can be turned off, but it's a programming option. You need to go to a dealer or savvy independent who can go into the cars computer and change things like drl's , lights flashing when locking, clown nose blinking, etc.
The only color that's legal for forward facing lights is white. Anything else will buy you lots of equipment violations.

We are the only source for Orion V2 (except our retail partners on eBay and for E90 custom projectors).

If you are looking to get headlights, we offer a very wide variety of different parts.
Feel free to give us a call.

I have the khoalty led angels. The fitment is ok, I glued the clips in so they wouldn't move. They are brighttttt. I usually only run those and my fogs at night . They are cheaper , and u get a 5 year warranty. U can run them into the footwell lighting as well and they turn on, just like all the other brands I think, when you unlock it. As far as draining the battery , no they wont. They go off within I dunno 5-10 seconds. Except on long drives , they seem to stay on for a few minutes. Hope this helps. Oh ya be careful taking the trim peices off
