rickzsingh Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 If you want LED ones then CPD do some good ones if you check out the website and also SSDD.. I bought mine from SSDD motorsport and teddy is a top guy but I have also heard great things about Hidesh @ CPD Problem with yours being a facelift, it will be a matter of taking the headlight out and seperating it apart to install the angel eyes!

JayP07 Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 (edited) Couple of threads on the subject... http://www.e46zone.com/forum/topic/10994-best-place-to-get-angel-eyes/ http://www.e46zone.com/forum/topic/11635-angel-eye-fires/ I know you want leds. I just fitted CCFL eyes and I'm really happy with them, I read that led's flicker a bit on start up... but i don't know for sure.

Thank's dude, you have facelift, did you install yourself?

Hmm well I was advised to stay away from CCFL but I suppose its down to personal opinion, thanks for the links dude JayP07 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harmzsingh Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 CCFL's look 'cleaner' and more defined as opposed to the non-Umnitza LED ones in my experience. I'm removing my LED's (fitted by PO) and swapping them for CCFLs when I get a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Beemer Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Last weekend I installed LED Angel Eyes on my pre-facelift coupe I purchased them from Ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/290954545081?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 The kit was pretty simple to install and I'm very happy with the result. Would also highly recommend the seller, reasonabile cost,very fast shipping and a good quality product, provided me with instructions via email as PDF which were pretty clear - but also found some helful videos on YouTube The kit I installed seemed to be near identical to the LED Weisslicht kit that has had some pretty decent reviews. The same seller offers CCFL and LED kits for facelift models that may be of interest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mo_bhaiyat Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 I've done a small tutorial kinda thing with a video on how to take the facelift headlights apart with a hairdryer. Using my phone to post right now so can't find it but if you look through my posts you should be able to find it. Not managed to get round to fitting the angel eyes yet though. Hope that helps.

shafz Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 another vote for CCFL's here.....i looked at loads of threads before deciding on CCFLs, they give out a "cleaner" light, and are not as blinding as LED ones. Only problem with CCFL is the invertors can sometimes fail, but you can easily buy replacements off ebay, A CCFL kit is usually cheaper as well Personal preference i guess.... I went for the OEM look and fitted the Orange/Yellow ones...also creates a nice colour contrast between the Xenon colour and ring colour (although mine is a pre-facelift) If you have your heart set on LED ones the CDP or SSDD is your best bet sive s, DJ Syxx, smaw and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mit Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 You know the OEM look is now 4300k to match the Xenons, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricardo Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 (edited) @shafz hen you mount ur angel eyes, how do you did with the plastic strip bellow the headlight? Just asking this because of the washers... I'm going to buy an angel eyes kit (for pre-facelift coupe, not the facelift one in the avatar pic) with washers on and I dont want to break anything with the installation BTW, replying to the topic on my last 320cd facelift I used CCFL with no problems for several years Edited September 8, 2013 by Ricardo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So replacing broken CCFL's would be an absolute nitemare! When CCFL's go faulty 9/10 its the inverter which is in the engine bay, when LED ones go faulty, you will have to replace the whole angel eye itself @shafz hen you mount ur angel eyes, how do you did with the plastic strip bellow the headlight?

Hm.. really annoying that it looks different on different coloured cars, time of the day images taken etc etc.. yeah, (no light expert) i'd like to say they are projector, pre facelift.

I think I want leds over ccfls? is that peoples general thoughts? Heres mine with smds The last two they are very dim and acting like welcome home lights so you can imagine how bright they are. I put a hid kit in. They were a perfect match to 6k hids. But prefer the look of 6k angels with halogen bulb.
