Hi Timus,

I only changed the halogen lights. The angel eyes are the same. No point cos it still looks sweeet!

Hi - i got it done at Sound Studio based in Levenshulme in South Manchester.

They just take the halogen bulbs out and replace them with xenons from a CANBUS kit with no errors on the system appearing. As you can see from the photos it's probably the best thing you can get for a car that doesn't have the xenon kit.

can't get the picture to !Removed! rotate!

No I didn't use the MTEC bulbs - I just went to a local garage which specialises in changing lights and they said they'd used a CANBUS kit. The angel eyes won't be bright unless you have the xenon kit. They are dim on cars that have the halogen kit like mine. That's why i changed my halogens for LED's.

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.

Hi Gucci,

I went to a local garage who fit LED bulbs, for £130 they changed out my halogens for the bright LED's and it looks really good. The only issue is they're on all day as DRL's but that's another LONG issue lol

The HIDS-DIRECT site states:

*Please note Bmw F10 will require a a different variation to this model and will need to order MT-615 F10 H8 Marker kit directly from us.

Makes sense as the advert states easy to install however they have just emailed me.

Apparently i may experience canbus issues so they've advised me to go for:

MTEC F10 Angel Eye LED's

Oh and yes you can use bluetooth to stream Music

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.

Hello,

This is my first EVER post on a forum, wouldn't usually do this but have nowhere else to turn to now...

I recently brought an F10 2010 520d which DIDN'T have the xenon package, at the time i didn't think i'd encounter these issues so i went ahead and brought it.

Firstly, i changed the halogen bulbs for a HID kit so i have the nice white light headlights. Then i noticed the angel eyes were not very bright and they never came on during the day on their own as i had dipped headlights on all day even though my lights were on automatic. Turns out, if you DON'T have the xenon package, then the day time running lights are just your dipped headlights which is pointless, the only way to just have angel eyes during the day is to manually have it switched to side lights on the light switch.

So first question, Is there any way to manipulate the software so it works the lights as if you had the xenon package i.e angel lights during daylight and then automatically switch on dipped headlights when sensor detects low daylight?

Second question, I have just brought the CREE LED angel eyes, does anyone know how to fit these as I can't find instructions or videos anywhere online for the F10 model.

Here is the item i brought: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271941333782?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT  - the advert does state it fits F10's on the search view not specifically on the advert itself so don't worry about this.

Anyway, looking forward to hearing everyone's replies.

Regards
