Living in the south I don't have that problem, so 'm not into all the different versions. But how about this?

Not an alternative on LCI cars with standard front since you?d have to cut the centerbar to fit the lights.
Those ramps look better than they illuminate since they get mounted so close to the ground.
Shines really bright close to the car but so does the xenons so...
The search continues...

Think that the www.extraljus.com is the best option for me.
And you can get xenonlamps but it will cost you...
The oter option is http://www.nbb.se/pdf/Alpha_X3M_Gul.pdf (swedish txt)

I'm with you, the LCI headlights aren't as good as the pre-LCI headlights. The LCI version is missing the halogen high-beams.
Nice setup you've got now. Any pics of them not blinding me?

Sorry about the dark and low quality pic! (phone cam)
The lights are my old worn Bosch 225 Big Knick mounted on a numberplate braket.
Not nice to look at but they will do the job for my holliday trip.
Going to the Swedish ski resort S?len next week and after that I think I?ll take the lights off.
One problem came up!
Front parkingsensor sounds.
Think that if you use only 2 instead of 3 lights, problem solved!
They will come closer together and futher away from the sensors.

My Ride: 08 550 Carbon Sport Almost everything factory, but no sound upgrades.
Maybe I don?t have any call to comment about the lighting needs in Sweden, but if I saw that coming at me at night I would expect to see some large out-of-control construction vehicle and would head for the ditch!
So much for annoying fog lights!
Sure clobbers the nice looks of the E60.
