Hi folks
I recently purchased this 2012 F30 and the headlamp lenses were crazed and not clear... and the yellow halogen light was degraded further by the condition of the lenses. I considered the "Depo" alternative and would probably have gone down that route but I had fears about whether the Depo option would pass the annual NCT test . So I purchased a set of new lenses and a set of BJ Iconic angel eyes from BimmerJakes along with a set of Maruka Super White xenon gas filled 5500k 55W H7 bulbs and proceeded to remove the headlamps and and change the lenses ,fitted the angel eyes and new bulbs . It was quite an involved job but if you take your time it is possible. The result is very good and I'm happy that it will pass the test as it still has the original set up but with far superior bulbs. Had to focus the lamps afterwards and a short test drive after brought a smile to my face .

Those look sick, love the depo headlights you put on over the dotted ones. If I can ask, where did you purchase your depo's from? I checked the links that the other guy posted and I'm liking those prices even better than what I found at kies, which are still sold out.

Have you considered Bayoptiks headlights? You can buy new ones from them and have them customized or send in your own. They look pretty cool.

Does anyone know what to do the angle eyes won't turn on for some reason and everything seems to be plugged in correctly there are no errors and they work besides the angle eyes.

Headlight Upgrade

Hello,

I have a 2017 330I what are my options for a headlight upgrade. I have the ugly halogen headlights. What are my options xenon, LCI LEDs, I've heard of the depos but I don't think they make them for 2017 330i?
