F30 PRE-LCI ANGEL EYES UPGRADE - DEPO HEADLIGHT INSTALLATION
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- In this third video tutorial, I install DEPO's Black Projector Headlights from the standard halogens. Stay tuned until the end for night and daytime running light examples. This upgrade makes a HUGE difference for your F30! Special thanks for AutoBodyKits.com for a great sales experience! You may also note that my car is at stock height in this video. I switched from the H&R Sports to the Eibach Pro Kit. This episode was recorded during that transition.

Great video bro, quality is always there!
Thanks bro. I appreciate it. 👍
hi , i have a question , when your car is in the garage you see a led strip above the angel eyes , but at the end of the video outside only the angel eyes are on and not the led strip ?
That is correct. When the headlight dial is left in the 'auto' position during the day, only the angel eyes / halos come on. When the headlights come on at night, are turned all the way on manually, or turned to the parking light position, then the led strip above the angel eyes comes on as well. I usually just leave it on auto, though I think you can program that function with Bimmercode...
Great vid , How did you get headlight eyebrow to light up ?
Hey man, I know we spoke on IG but wanted to post here for those that want to know. I coded the eyebrows to come on with the parking lights using BimmerCode. The eyebrows turn on by default when the headlights are fully operational.
do i get system error when i go from halogen to led?
Hey man. I didn’t get an error when I installed mine, but I did code for LEDs with Bimmercode to make sure I didn’t run into any issues further down the road.
Hey man loved the video very informative, quick question I’ve been hearing finding bulbs for this setup are a pain in the ass, what led bulbs that are H7 do you recommend that still fit great? Because I do not wanna run the ugly yellow factory ones I want white LED’s
Thanks man! The LEDs bulbs I purchased I can't really recommend because I had to dremel out the retainer clips to get them to fit. They perform well, but based on fitment, I would advise looking elsewhere. There have been some on here that suggest NINEO H7 LED Bulbs as good performing and proper fitment. Check Amazon.com for them and be sure to filter the results by your exact vehicle, trim and current headlight (halogen or LCI) Hope this helps. 👍
@@visiongarage277 thanks man, keep up the amazing work next stop 20k subs for you 💪🏻
@@Maseh24 Thanks bro. I appreciate the support! 👊🏽
so what i’m seeing is you put the new headlight on and you see the projector and then at 10:25 they go back to the old headlights and then you put the bumper back on i have a problem with this because i’m trying to buy the same headlight and don’t trust anywhere besides kies motorsports
Yep, camera died so I just reversed that part of the video to try and show the whole process. And yes Kies is awesome. I’m looking at getting the rear tails from them soon. 👍🏽
Hi man! Great job! When you installed do you need to adjust low beam and high beam ? I mean do some leveling with screw driver? Or just plug and play? Thanks
Thanks brother. 👊🏽 Yes, you have left / right and up / down adjustment available for each via Phillips screwdriver. I just faced the broad side of a building and leveled them out, then test drove for visibility till I got it the way I wanted. They were pretty whacked when I installed them. 👍🏽
@@visiongarage277 Im going to fit mine on this weekend🤘🏻Thanks for super fast reply!😉👍🏻
@@inguss4891 I’ve had these over a year with no issues whatsoever. All of the lighting elements, drls, brackets, no fogging... 👍🏽 and Colorado presents you with the worst of scenarios. Check my Instagram for current pics of them. Later man...
@@inguss4891 Good deal! Best of luck to you!
Rims 🔥
Love these wheels bro. Thanks a million. 👍
how’re they holding up? are they reliable after a good amount of time has gone by?
Besides a little highway pitting, just like day one. No drop in performance, intensity, brackets and build quality all good. 💯
Why won’t these work on a 2016 lci with halogens?
Mine are specifically for Pre LCI. Not having LCI I cannot confirm if it is the connectors or coding etc that would prevent compatibility. I’ve included a few links that may help you figure out what upgrade is compatible for your car. Also, you can typically ask the vendor to help make the correct selection before your purchase. Hope this helps…

Would these work with my 320i 2015?
Hey what’s up man. As long as you have halogens, these will work. If you have Xenons or LCIs then no. Hope that helps...
Decent video! I’m looking to get these for my f31 but I’m not sure if there is any increase in light performance. I saw a video a while back where someone said you actually loose light performance with LED bulbs in a projector style but I can’t see how?! 🤷♂️ have you noticed much better performance?
Yes there is some truth to that, but I believe it depends on the LED brand, quality, and projection configuration of the LED chips as well. My headlight performance did not decrease, but stayed about the same. I’ve had several people ask which LEDs I have, and though mine perform well, I had to Dremel my retainer clips to get them to fit properly, which is why I don’t readily suggest them. If you get these headlights, do your research on LED bulbs and how they all perform, opposed to just buying the cheapest alternative. 👍
@@visiongarage277 thank you. I have the Philips LED bulb in my pick up and there great as you can rotate the bulb within the bracket to perfect the beam pattern so I’d probably go for the same ones again.
@@mattbaigent5373 Good deal man. Mine are the Phillips ZES LEDs as well. They mimic the halogen configuration and can be rotated to adjust the concentration of the beam pattern like you mentioned. You want it focused rather than scattered. 👍🏽
@@visiongarage277 ah cool. Hope you keep making videos, they’re much nicer to watch than a lot of other f31 based youtubers material, keep it up 👍
@@mattbaigent5373 Thx man, most definitely. My computer died a while back and I just got set back up again. Now I’ve got a garage full of bolt on performance parts, new camera, drone, and a head full of ideas. Just need more time now. 😁
do these need to be coded once installed ??
Hey man. No coding necessary. Simple plug and play. You can code preferences like constant drls, eyebrows, etc, but the main lights work straight out of the box. 👍
Does the hight aim dial on the dash still works after installation?
If by high aim dial you mean high beam dial, yes. My headlights are not the adaptive spec. Essentially, low beam and high beam function are same as with the OEM headlights just a different style/look.
Hey what bulb did you use. I just ordered mines from USR but it says bulb are not included.

These are the ones I purchased, and though they perform well, I dont recommend them because they are not a direct fit. I had to use my Dremel and bore out my retainer clips. The main reason I got these is because they have Phillips ZES LEDs. This helps with the concentration of light, rather than poor performing LEDs that scatter. Definitely look for Phillips ZES. Headlight Revolution here on UA-cam has some great info to help you make your selection. 👍🏽
VISION GARAGE thanks !! Great videos. Post more !
deel eem Thanks a lot. More to come soon!
VISION GARAGE I recommend Nineo H7 leds. They’re a lot slimmer (slim is better since it represents the H7 halogen filament) and has a huge led ballast for good power. I tried 3 sets before the Nineo. I used the Nineo with regular lenses and it had a super clean line. Looked like I had xenons from factory. I have them in the depo and they look great. Try them on your low beams.
The thinness and led location matters a lot. And these were direct fit.
Dylan Nguyen thanks!! Very helpful
When order these did they come two a pair.
Yes, you receive both the drivers and passenger side. 👍🏽
How many bulbs do Thebes headlights require?
What’s up man... You can run them with your OEM halogens if you want. I replaced the low beams with 6000k LEDS and plan to replace the high beams with LEDs soon. I kept the yellow parking lamps OEM as well. The rest of the unit (halos/drls and eyebrows) are prelit as part of the assembly. 2 high, 2 low, 2 parking...
It took 3 months from when you ordered them to get them?
Pokemon Go Yes, they were on backorder nationwide. It all depends on when you order them if they are readily in stock or not.
Pls where do you get those headlight from?
Hey man. Here’s the link. All modifications are also in the description. 👍🏽 www.bodykits.com/i-30856274-bmw-f30-3-series-depo-black-projector-depo-headlight.htmlA
Does it matter if my F30 is a 2017
Depends on if your car has halogens. These headlights are specifically designed to replace current halogen lights. If they are halogens, they should be the same from 2011-2019. There are also some models with HIDs. I believe the LCIs started in 2016. When you decide to purchase the seller should be able to help you identify if your headlights are compatible or not.
Hope you didnt order because they will not fit if you have LCI version
@@mihaelgx6443 I didn’t I figured they wouldn’t
What year is your f30?
What's up man. It is a 2013 base, N20, with cold weather package, and Dakota leather. Got it with 35k on it.
