Help with exterior lighting
Hi Guys,
2005 530 with HID
I got the led angel eyes from Trinity. They look great.
Put in some Sylvania Zxe fogs. They were not the same white has HID but close enough
After putting in the white angel eye bulb I noticed the bulb that was in the middle of it was pretty yellow. Found out the size to be H7. Ordered some Zxe and when I put them in... Stillyellow. Man I was annoyed. How do I fix this? I have to send those bulbs back and they were 50 bucks.
What are my options?

disable high beam as DRLs, then you will have only the rings switch on
high beams at 50% is the US DRL option. Your only other option is to set it to UK, that would make your dipped beams switch on as DRLs, so at least you won't have yellow, but that's the same as switching it over to light position 2.
If you retrofit an LM2 you'll have more control and be able to set the AEs and drls.

So there isn't an easy fix by buying the right kind if bulb? One if the sites told me there isn't an led option for the factory hid set up.
