Halo / Xenon Lights

[Tum]

Hi guys,

I have a 320d M sport(58) with front 'halo' type lights. Are these also known as Xenon?

I was wondering if you could run them with just 2 rings when set to daylight running?

The 'halo' rings are on but so is the dipped headlight in the centre of one of them. I've seen other BMW's with what look like brighter 'halo' rings.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Scott.

Not sure with the newer 3 series as they are standard with the car, iv just installed some 8000k halo ring on my e46 looks good, have you considered upgrading them so you can and so that they are so much brighter! Easy to do aswell

I'm first trying to establish what type of lights I have on my car.

Then depending on the cost, I'd like to upgrade them, they aren't very bright at the mo!

Okay here is a pic of my rather dim lights!

Do you think it's the 'angel light' upgrade that would be best suited to these lights? Any other suggestions on what other options are available to me?

Cheers.

Thanks Gav,

I thought that might be the case. I take it this means you can't upgrade these:

Is there a better light bulb I could replace my existing ones with?

I found this great web site that helps explain exactly what you need to do to improve the 'Corona' light brightness:
