    E60 / E61 LCI Angel Eye bulb upgrade for H7 headlamps - suggestions

    I have a 2007 LCI E61 with h7 headlights.
    The angel eyes look rather yellow and dim.

    Is there an angel eye LED upgrade people would recommend?

    Was looking at something like this?

    I don't want anything too blue or boy racer-ish. Just clean, bright and white.

    Regards, Mike

    The ones in your link will be as good as the next ones.... I’ve tried numerous different sets over the years between my E60 and E61 and you will not find anything for the halogen lamp to compare to the more up to-date angel eye effect you are looking for. They look fine at dusk or night time but fairly poor in daylight !!

    Thanks Dave.
    Might order them.

    On a related note, the rear number plate bulbs also look rather yellow.
    Seems to be whiter LEDs on F10 and newer 5 series.
    Is it possible to upgrade just the bulbs to a LED equivalent? I want to avoid any CANbus errors.

    Any suggestions? Again, not looking for anything to boy-racer-ish, just a cleaner light.

    Again, plenty to choose from on eBay etc... An led upgrade bulb replacement for the enclosed 36mm festoon bulb, which are cheap as chips, or, a replacement led unit along the lines of Mtec which can be considerably dearer ! I’d start with the led upgrade bulbs as they are cheap, and see what you think...
