- Sorry for the quite frequent shaking. I'm trying to figure out more and more about this camera and I defiantly need a mount to keep it stable! Otherwise I hope you enjoyed the video and got a good look at these headlights to determine if you'd enjoy them as well!

thank's so much for this amazzing review =D
what's up brother do you think you can do a tutorial on how to configure the halos with the BimmerCode please
That’s a good idea I can probably do that.
How did you get them to work? Base model halogen lights are not wired for LED lights. They have 6 pins at at terminal. Aftermarket eBay lights like the ones you linked have more pins, which means the harness you plug it in to has to be different. For example, if you had a higher trim bmw that came factory with LED angel eyes it would already come wired with the modules and ballasts, while factory halogen cars are only wired for simple circuit headlight assemblies.
All I know is they went right in with no issues 🤷🏼♂️
Does your 328i come with fog lights being a m sport ? I know the 328x drive and luxury model do have them
My car is the m sport package but doesn’t have the fog lights option from factory. I think it’s a separate option for at least the m sport kit and you can either pay to get them or not. Mine just was not optioned with it.
Just got these eBay jobs on my wagon. I don’t even know how bmw let cars go out with halogen headlights, they’re the worse. I love the headlights like thw halos better than the round ones. How are yours holding up?
They are holding up super well actually my brother drives the car with them on and he’s had no issues. We had to adjust the headlights to get them just how he wanted but after that no issues electrically or no issues with the build quality.
Great upgrade ! i have a question. I have an f30 from 2016 can i use these headlights ?
Just to be sure before you buy them check the fitment notes but yes. 2012-2018 headlights are the same. Just different variations
@@duncancheeves But i want this model of headlights not the LCI model and for the depo angel eyes is from year 2012-2015 always .
@@omergokce5971 yeah these model headlights are from a brand called spyder I think also there’s a link in the description
Im gonna get these soon, but ima change the low beam bulb to H7 Blue
Where you able to change the low beam bulb ?
thank you!
No problem just trying to help out! Thanks for commenting
should i get a bmw 328i? ive heard a lot of different opinions on the maintenance and how pricy the fixes are, what do you think?
My honest opinion is yes. They can have timing chain issues and I would look up on that if I were you. The 328 was an extremely reliable car for me and others I’ve talked to just don’t push the horse power above stage 2. I didn’t have a single thing go wrong on the car. Now maintenance can be more expensive than something like a Honda ofc but if you shop on fcp euro you can get good prices and lifetime replacement on stuff like brakes, rotors, even oil. It’s a super fun car that is quick sounds good and looks good. For the price it’s the best interior and infotainment you’ll get.
@@duncancheeves yeah i was looking at a 2014 bmw 328i im so in love with the bmw but my parents dont want me to get a bmw. i live in a complete different state soooooo i may just learn and find out myself bro
I installed these myself 3 years ago only because I wanted halo to replace my halogen headlights on f30. The problem with these are the LED halo dies pretty quick. Mine had an HID version and the ballast died in few month which I replaced by another set. But one of the halo died in couple thousand miles which I could not replace and stuck with it. I am looking for another one now which is not as cheap as these but may be last longer.
these are still good for me had no issues personally.
@duncancheeves yeah, you can't really tell if they will last or not,I installed mine on 2018 and one side halo is still working .. its kind of imbarassing to drive my car atm 😅
@@darshanpradhan oh dang maybe it’s just a wiring connection something you could fix
@@darshanpradhan it may be a wiring issue mine stopped working on the left side and j I went to go look at the wires and two were ripped so I stripped them twisted them together and tape them with black electrical tape and now it started working again
Hey, quick question: How did they hold up after two years?
@@Rhinobot45 perfectly
How does it come that my headlights edges don't align perfectly to the bumper? Whats the cause of it?
I’m not really sure. These headlights that we bought had great fitment and fit perfect. You have minor adjustments within the bolts you put in so maybe that’s the cause.
@@duncancheeves I can still adjust them a bit but would it be a better idea to do this when the bumper is on so i can make sure it's perfectly aligned?
@@Supremepikachu I’m not sure. It may be hard to tight those with the bumper on. You could always adjust and then test fit the bumper and keep doing that till you get it right? But if that works for you then it may be the better option.
@@duncancheeves I'll try with the bumper on first, thanks for replying anyway really appreciate it!
Hey man I have a 328i too, I’m wondering what did you have to do to your car to get it ready for a tune ?
Nothing for stage 1 bootmod3! Stage 2 however recommends intercooler and high flow downpipe
@@duncancheeves thanks bro appreciate it
@@leitor928 no problem thanks for the sub!!
hey man any chance you still got that muffler if so could i possibly buy it?
sorry i dont i sold it a year ago.
@@duncancheeves could you send a link for it ? i can’t find it i have a 2016 328i if so it would be appreciated

It says 2012-2015 would it fit a 2017?
probably but idk coding wise.
What engine does you 328i have.
N20
How did you install ?
Kiesmotorsports has a great video on how to install new headlights. That is the video I used.
You think I can swap the halogen bulb with an LED one?
I believe you can just if it doesn’t work right then you may have to buy BimmerCode to code the new led bulbs in.
We’re you able to swap out the halogen bulb if so which did you use ?
Just got em how they holding on? 😊
They look just as good as when we installed them!
my spec d tuning driver side one failed, i wanna try these are the low beams for night time strong? cause spec d’s are not lol ebay has these for $360
What’s the Beamer code for?
Just to dim the brightness of the leds. They were honestly pretty bright so we put them at like 50%
have a headlight that doesn't have the dots, but isn't that expensive?
I mean at that point you could just buy the depo angle eyes they are just the stock halos that came with the halo package from the factory. They are about 600 dollars and you can get them from kiesmotorsports.
Other than that I don’t know if any that are really cheap and have a better look.
How do you get the yellow parking lights to turn off? on the side
They are on when the lights are on at night. But day time running lights are just the white halos. Just the way all Bmw lights are 🤷🏼♂️. You can maybe use bimmer code too change it idk
@@duncancheevesat @7:36 i see the yellow on w the drls tho
@@silentescape818xsfvla8 hm well it depends on how bright it is outside. It senses the brightness and they turn on when it’s morning or night. Then it should go off after that and be the the daytime lights. If it’s bright outside the yellow side marker lights should not be on.
@@duncancheeves You think these are better than the ones i have now? Spec d tuning
@@silentescape818xsfvla8 not too sure of the brand you have. This brand we bought has definitely been good for the time we’ve had them on. No issues.
Doesn’t fit 2016. Can’t find those for 16 models
It might not say it but it’s the same headlights
Should be but I’d make sure both years have the same connections
I'm interested in buying a 328i, and I know that BMWs aren't super reliable. How reliable is a 2016 328I?
I would say very reliable. Bmws have this misconception as long as you regularly maintenance your car you’ll be fine. Oil changes when it needs it! In the 2016 models the timing chain issue is not so much a issue anymore so your good there. 2015+ had a redesign. Freak things can happened to any car make sure your buying a car that wasn’t beat to death. But overall very very reliable engine. It has given me 0 issues on a stage 2 tune.
Do you need to also purchase a lightbulb or does it comes with? If I do need to buy one which did you use cause I have literally the same car
You don’t need to purchase a new bulb only if yours is out already. They use the same bulbs.
So I believe my question is I don’t want the halogens bulbs I would prefer a led bulbs would that be compatible or I have to stick with halogens
@@israelolangi45 oh in that case it doesn’t come with bulbs. I don’t think so at least it’s been a while. It definitely doesn’t come with leds tho. But yes they would be compatible and I believe you would have to code them in with something like BimmerCode
@@israelolangi45comes with bulbs halogen… trash.. you need to switch to LED H7 for better lighting but the DRL look LED already so u might be good.
@@SycaShowH7 ice white or blue would look sick huh?
do they still work
Yep still working great. Actually I would give these a really good score on quality.
@@duncancheeves damn good to hear i’m gonna get them for sure now
@@josuemansilla2 great!
Bro can I just pay u to do mine for me haha
😅 unfortunately no. But seriously it’s easy just look up an actual tutorial and you’ll have no problem.
