HELP!! BMW Headlights Question?

Ok, I have a Black 2008 E90 328i sedan with the sports package paddle shifters (;
I ended up picking the sports package instead of the safety package or premium that includes the Xenon Headlights.
So this is my first BMW im 17 and Im not really familiar with these things.
Idk whats the difference between OEM, Xenon, HID, LED, and Angle Eyes.
I dont have the Angel Eyes on my car, I have the regular headlamps that are white not yellow.
I want Angle Eye Halo’s on my car so do I just buy the bulb light or do I need a Angle Eye conversion kit?
Which one do I get??

Like the previous chap said:

OEM will depend on what was fitted.
Xenon and HID are often confused. Xenon Filament bulbs are standard halogen bulbs with a bit of Xenon gas to make them a bit brighter and whiter – up to twice as much as standard bulbs. HID uses an electric arc to create a light considerably brighter than halogen, which tends to be whiter – the bulbs are available in various colour temperatures, – 4300K is standard, 5000K is pure white and the higher you go from there you get less light output and bluer light.
Angle Eyes should be standard on your model. You can upgrade them to whiter light versions if you do not like the default yellow look: http://www.hids4u.co.uk/bmw-angel-eyes-led-upgrade-e90-91.html

To the first poster: Angel Eyes cause no glare as they are daylight running light with a pretty low output.
Xenon upgrade bulbs just give slightly more light and slightly whiter light. If the cause glare is is a problem with the headlight housing or aim adjustment.
HID lights can cause glare – but this is generally cheap aftermarket conversions, not decent quality ones or OEM HID lights.

Both Xenon and HID (as long as they are not too blue) give much better driving experience. The whiter light is easier on the eyes, and the more powerful beam picks out the road at longer range. It’s great if you drive at night in areas with animals on the road or similar.
