Install angel eyes on halogen F20 - possible?

Guys, any of you ever installed angel eyes (LED) on a halogen F20?

I have a F20 116i, and altough I plan to upgrade for bixenon in the future, I have hurry for LED angel eyes.

Can it be done? If so, how?

Thanks a lot

I have not seen anyone on here that has done it, probably due to the wide range of temperatures and kit's available with none that I have seen looking as good as OEM.

Avoiding error messages from the car will probably involve recoding and if you plan a full BI-Xenon conversion expect to pay a lot of money as lot's of additional kit may be needed depending on your local motoring regulations.

In the UK for instance, that means auto levelling and a headlight wash system at least that can mean a front bumper replacement at £££'s.

Cheaper to buy a new car! To do it properly used parts alone will be over 2k alone.

Yes, I saw that too.

Just the new lights (bixenon/LED) costs around 2,5k USD. But you also have to change the many other things (auto leveling, replace the switches on the left of the steering, the washers etc).

But I was talking just about the angel eyes. Cant you just buy the LED "rings" and just install in the car? Or this isn't possible?

Probably not as the light housing won't have the fittings to take the halos or run the connection cables properly.
