Hey guys, sorry I didn't take very many pics of this as I was installing... I was a little excited to see how they looked 
I took Joe's advice from Trinity Autosport and ordered these. I'm glad I did. They're very good build quality and very bright! I will have to take some pics of them in daylight for you guys later.
Sorry about the quality of the cell phone pics.
The old AE bulb
New 6W LED Bulb
The AE bulb housing. These bulbs can be tricky to get fitting in there just right, and you need small hands!
New LED's in!
With Headlights on. The color matches very well.

Wow that looks great! Do you have any write up on the install? If I decide to not return my lease, I want to do the same mod also. Do I have to take out the headlight assembly or can this just unscrew out and screw the new one on? Thanks!

I didn't do a write up, but there are plenty out there. It's pretty straight forward, just swap the bulbs. Had to take out the assembly in order to get the bulbs in and out properly.

Yes, this is Pre LCI (2006). Here's a daytime pic, but it's a bit cloudy. But for some reason in this pic, they look a little bit yellow. In real life they're white. But at least you can see brightness.

I just did this as well. Wasn't hard to do - hardest part was getting my fat hand in to put the new one in. Definitely look better for sure. Easy and cheap mod - definitely worth it in my opinion.

My Ride: 05' Bmw 530i Sport Package
well done man, I just installed on my 05' PRE LCI last weekend but it was the 5W but nonetheless much needed upgrade away from the yellow. Did you go with fog light bulbs to match? Nerwyll helped me and I went with 6k diamond white bulbs. Looks great
