Hello,

My name is Peter and I have a 2007 530i and would like help converting all of my headlights to match my HID headlights. I noticed that in the morning my day lights are on and they are orange as well as my angel eyes. I wanted to know if I purchased xenon H7 bulbs will that help change the yellow appearance? I read that because the angel eyes are yellow that the look may still be yellow, is that true? Also if I use H7 xenon lights would that overheat any wiring?

What is the easiest way to convert all my lights to match my HID's?

Any tips?

Thanks

Hey Peter! Welcome to the forums! Your best bet is to have the dealership TURN OFF your daytime running lights. Buying those H7 xenon-type bulbs will NOT make it that much whiter. If u still have warranty, RUSH to the dealership, and they should turn it off under warranty.

Ur angel eyes, u can get MTEC V2s to make it bright white. MTEC V2 angel eyes - https://5series.net/forums/index.php...iew=getnewpost

Then HID Fogs - https://5series.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=65593

I'll send you a PM with more info

Thanks Man,

I realized after I installed the hyper white H7 Bulbs that I also needed to change the
angel light bulbs to have the white appearance. I appreciate the tip. However I also want to change my orange turn signal reflectors, any tips?

John also sells LED turn signals.

But not sure what you mean by turn signal "reflectors". If you are talking about the amber part, you can only cover it up with Akalius' Euro Stickers from the outside, or cut open the headlight and apply it inside.

What is the model# for the side marker light bulbs? Any idea?
