There are 4 different types of bulbs used in the original BMW Angel Eyes lights before BMW started using LED lighting for their Angel Eyes rings.
The system is relatively simple, but there is not much logic in when which models use which bulb types.
At Astina.dk, we offer a complete range of different Angel Eyes boost sets with LED in various brightness levels.

As a rule of thumb, we always recommend buying the brightest light possible. Originally from the factory, the light functions only as position lights, so it corresponds to 5W – but the originals do not shine very brightly either – as the new LED lights are even closer to daylight, they will often appear less bright in daylight.
So our clear recommendation is = choose the brightest versions available – this will make the light output equivalent to daytime running lights as known from the latest generation BMW models with LED Daytime Running Lights Angel Eyes.
