Headlight Upgrades

I have a 2004 BMW 325Ci that currently have just the regular halogen lights. I really want angel eyes but I'm having problems figuring out exactly what I need to do. Do I need to upgrade to HIDs or...? Any help would be very appreciated!

Thanks

There's a difference between upgrading headlights and adding angel eyes. You can get angel eyes for your halogen lights, but if you want Xenon lighting, you'll have to do a retrofit.

And what would I need to buy and do for the retrofit?

You'd still need angel eyes designed for halogen headlights since you're putting HIDs into your existing frame. If you buy OEM Xenon headlights, then you'd buy angel eyes designed for Xenon headlights.

For angel eyes, Umnitza makes a hell of a product. It's pricey, but it's damn impressive. Khoalty sells a $100 alternative, but I have no experience with it.

Thanks so much! I'm on Umnitza's website and I've run into the problem of not being able to find my car for modifications on drop down lists. It shows years 2003 e46 coupes, and 05's but I can't seem to find one with '03. Any suggestions?
