Can anyone offer a view on whether the headlights on a 1998 E39 (UK) would be significantly improved by fitting the later angel eyes design (post 2001)? I have replaced the bulbs with the 30% brighter type but still not great. Do the plastic lens covers beocme more opaque with age?
Thanks

Big improvment with mine. However, this might have been down to the aging original bulbs.
The real solution is to replace the whole assembly with the later HID kit ... but it's very expensive. Great low beams and of course, the angel eyes look cool.

I got a significant improvement on my 1997 528 by diassembling the headlight assembly and just cleaning the lense with window cleanar. It made a big difference.
