Question 2009 BMW 328i headlight bulb upgrade?

Hello all, I was wondering if i'm able to upgrade my stock headlight bulbs into white ones to make them look more modern. Is it as simple as replacing old bulb with new ones? Ill attach a photo of my current headlight and a photo of what i'm trying to achieve. Thanks!

Yes, the bulb color temperature is what changes the color of the rings. Unfortunately from what I’ve read you have to be careful of swapping to LEDs as they don’t dissipate the light like a standard bulb does, so it doesn’t look as consistent around the rings. You may want to get a “bluer” colored standard bulb to try. I want to say there may even be genuine BMW ones sold for this purpose.

There are posts out there about this I’ve ran into in the past, try searching around a bit for details and what people have found to work.

based on the bottom picture you are looking to change the angel eyes correct? We offer an option for that and it is the LUX E90 LCI Halogen V4. these are a 100% plug and play replacement for the stock bulb and will make the rings a pure white color. Here is the direct link to these to our website: https://luxangeleyes.com/products/lu...lci-halogen-v4

Many people then also replace the low beam bulb as well to match with a 4300k color. You could go with a halogen bulb or some other aftermarket bulb as well.
