Hi all,
I realise there has been a lot if discussion around retro fit kits. Found this on Bimmian and wondered if anyone has fit one. It looks impressive as they even do a 6000k option in pure white rather than the normal blue tint. You can get DRL,headlights and fog lights all in the 6000k spec for £112 per set. http://www.bimmian.co.uk/HID-Retrofi...W-F30-3-Series Look pretty good

Your retro fit looks as legit as it can get without replacing the housing. Great work indeed. Do you have any plans an doing something about the DTL housing left open from your product? It's a small detail but it's something folks consider when doing cosmetic mods.

2 questions
Hi all,
1) is auto leveling necessary to make Xenons legal or is it just nice to have? 2) Has anyone else had the Bixenon plus LED ring retrofit from 180 that would be willing to post some pics? It would be cool to see a head on pic of the retrofit during the daytime without the LEDs and Xenons on... i.e., to see what the hardware looks like when the car is parked and off. Thanks |

It seems not very many people have opted to get this done , even though it seems like the only option available for cars with Halogen headlights.My only worry is how well does this aftermarket set up fair after a year or so down the line.Anyone who has had the 180 retrofit done please advise. Thanks in Advance. |

I've also been looking at different suppliers and it looks like the one you ordered off Ebay (seen that one too) have very similar/same dimensions. The bigger ring is same and smaller one is 1mm smaller.
I asked the supplier if this would fit an F30 since in the description it says "F30 style" but its meant for E90/E92/E93/M3. He assured me that it was designed for the F30, but it would also fit in those other BMW models as well. For $30 it was worth just a try, but he said I would have to order in quantities of 10, which would push it to $300. I need one. I don't need 10. Plus shipping would be another $50 or so. I backed out. Unless there are 10 people here who want to each get one and split the shipping. Sorry... but I think we hijacked the OP's thread ... oops |

I only started to look at a DIY Angel Eye retrofit because I wasn't willing to shell out $3000-$3500 for a new headlight assembly, but I was only gonna do it if 1) they were quality Ring LEDs that were going to last, and 2) they looked good. After studying these LEDs a little, they look far from good, and I guess their price is just a reflection of that. After all, there are a lot of inherent risks in breaking apart your housing (e.g. bad seal leading to moisture/fogging in headlights), and I can't be re-opening every month to replace the LEDs. For me, it would be a one-shot deal, so I would need to insure the LEDs were top-notch, looked OEM, and was a style I liked. The closest ones that fit that bill were the ones by oneighty nyc, but they are a bit pricey ($280), and they are currently out of them anyways. Then I found the F30 thread yesterday about the company in AU - Mars Performance that's selling a pair of fully sealed new headlight assembly retrofit with Angel Eyes built-in already. The style of the Angel Eyes doesn't look quite as good as the oneighty nyc ones, but they somewhat stylish. And the cost for the pair is like $800!! So i'm sorta leaning in that direction now. Unfortunately, they are also out of stock, and plus they won't be returning to the office until next week, as the office is shut down currently for the holiday season. Unless a better quality LED solution comes out that is quality/classy, reasonably priced, and has a style to my liking (e.g. audiblue18's custom hexagons), i'm probably going the Mars route.
