BMW X3 F25 Angel eyes

I have a 2017 x3, it currently has halogen bulbs (not angel eyes) my question here is there any easy swap to some angel eye bulbs (LED)? I’d prefer to not have to open the housing, or buy new ones, looking for a simple plug n play.

If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

I thought all 2017 had HID headlights...

Can you post a pic of your headlights?

You're not going to be able to get the actual "angel eyes" look without doing a full replacement of the housings and all of the electronics/electrical that goes with it, which is very expensive.

I replaced my stock halogens with LED replacement bulbs from OPT-7. They don't give the angel eyes look but they are a good color and give off a ton of light. A drastic difference in visibility from the halogens. I posted some pics recently, I'll go find the thread and put the link in here.

you will need to purchase headlights and there are not cheap and modules that control the headlights. No such thing as plug n play unless you open up the headlights and rewire connectors which i dont recommend at all. It will require coding.
