Question re Halogen headlights
Saw the spec of a BMW X1 with Halogen headlights with rain senor (including luminous rings). Are those so-called luminos rings the same as those used for the bi-xenon headlight? If not, grateful if members can show some pics of the "luminous rings" of the Halogen headlights? Thanks in advance!

I just ordered my car, and while I opted not to get many options, I did decide to get the lighting package after just about everyone on this forum said it's a must have option. Apparently the rings only come with the HIDs/Lighting Package. The regular halogens do not have them. Perhaps someone else can confirm this for me, but I'm 99% sure.

Yes, they only come with the HID's and are referred to as Angel Eyes. Besides they way the HID's illuminate the road when you get the lighting package the headlights turn left or right with the direction the steering wheel is being turned. AS stated I would call this a "must have"

Here's what it looks like with regular halogens. I was in a position where I had to buy one off the lot and it didn't have angel eyes. I miss it, but I'm a grown man and can deal with it somewhat. It looks like poo compared to angel eyes, but I figure that it's still a BMW!

Totally regret not having the angel eyes as well. But like you, it was the one on the lot that I had to buy off, and I'm a grown man, so I can live with it as well. |

The problem for me with non HIDs on BMWs nowadays is that the one of the characteristic BMW design features, the double headlamp, is lost. Non HIDs on todays BMWs look like somebody wearing brown plastic rimmed, thick lensed glasses that need cleaning vs a nice sporty pair of wire rim glasses. The HIDs on the X1 retain the classic BMW double headlamp look.
