My Ride: 2005 525i
As i was parking my car in my garage, I noticed the lights were kinda yellowish white.
I look in the forum, but didnt find anyone who switched xenon lights to HID kit. (or did i not search enough ?
)
Please give me a feedback if I should switch it or just stay with my xenons.
-has anyone tried the HID kit from bimmian.com ?

My Ride: 2005 (01/05 Build) Titanium Silver Metallic 530i, Black Dakota Leather Interior w/Dark Poplar Wood Trim, Cold, Premium & Sport Packages, Steptronic, Bluetooth
MODS: OEM 166's (M5 Offset) on General's (245/35 & 275/30), 15mm H&R Spacers, Auxiliary Audio Input, 6000K Xenon Headlights and Matching HID Fogs, AIB v3.0, SprintBooster, OEM LED License Plate Bulbs, Smoked LED Side Markers, Matte Black Kidney Grills
Stock Xenon's are rated at 4300k (at least for 04 & 05, not sure about the other years)...From what i hear, a 6000k rated unit will give the best usable light output. I'm in the process of getting my 6000k from elite_motorsports (fellow member). Many members here have upgraded their xenon's to 6000k and many who have chosen a higher rating. And although a higher rating unit will emit some cool looking colors (i think a 8000k is blue and 10000k is purple ), there might be some sacrifice on light output.

Heard a few Audi S3 owners having to replace their bulbs to pass the yearly MOT test as they were too dim!!
