i am not picking car up till Wednesdays and as you can see i am a novice to all this.

all advice will be much appreciated

Hi Portor,

I've only just joined the site today and just searching the headlights topics and came across yours - just wanted to say I have the F10 which didn't have the xenon package and i've recently upgraded the halogen headlights to xenon ones by having a canbus HID kit fitted. I got it done by some professionals who do it for a living, cost me £140 for everything. Looks alot better but the angel eyes are really dim which is why I came on here to find some answers as i've just brought the LED angel eyes by CREE but don't know how to fit them.

Oh and yes you can use bluetooth to stream music

 Hi thanks for the replys my f10 can do Bluetooth for phone calls but not music 😭

 

My head lights the angke ice are a nice white colour and i changed the normal h7 bulbs to the phillips extreme bulbs which works ok 

 

 

Was told the hid conversion are now a mot failure dont know if thats true or not 

No way...really??....I use spotify to listen to music and i just stream it via bluetooth in my car. You can go to multimedia option and select external devices there and then pick blueooth.
