Angel Eyes?

[oktapod]

Were these standard or options or add-ons for 2001 era 3-series cars?

Reason I ask is that I'm not sure if my 330Ci has them or not - don't get it until the middle of this coming week, and I'm tempted to update the halogens to xenons (£120 should do it, based on a thread on bmwworld) and if I didn't have the Angel Eyes I might do them at the same time.

On the other hand, I might wait a while until the credit card cools down - it's got a car sitting on it right now, after all :-)

E46 model did not have angel eyes at all.

Any E46 with angel eyes is an add-on.

Sorry having read the thread again, may as well address your other points.

Halogen to Xenon for £120, never going to happen. What you mean presumably is HID conversion kit, which can be had for half that price. However, a 2001 330Ci will upset a lot of people if you stick HID headlight conversion into it. No projector lenses etc etc.

Teddy at SSDD is brilliant, and his products are second to none in my experience.

I saw an e46 with retro angel eyes, it just looked EXTREMELY weird and just didn't look like it suited the car at all !

The huge advantage with the Halogen are they are road legal. Its impossible to E mark a HID bulb for Halogen figment so all the HID conversion bulbs are actually illegal to use on the road. Just get a good quality halogen bulb as they give off more than enough light. Only way you can legal fit HIDs is to swap everything and that is not cheap.
