Don't get solaris bulbs man. Get the led turn signals from Brabus as well. He sells them for $40 and comes with resistors. Brighter than solaris bulbs and look even better.

You can get 35W or 50W - depends on what you're going after.
Stay tuned, we'll have a comparison on our own E60 finally (picked it up today).

Fixed

Been doing lighting for over 10 years, we've got a lot of experience with it.

You can order BOTH bulbs in the colors you want and play with the K a little AND play with the output settings - 35W, 40W, 50W, or 55W to match them exactly but exactly will also depend on your perspective.

Wait a little longer to see what we can come up with

I recommend you buy a new set of headlight bulbs to match, as the bulbs appear to change color as they age.

I just purchased new headlights for the car with new bulbs... I think theyre 4300K on the EURO PRE LCI LIGHTS so i'll probably get 6000K's to match..

yes, health services is right, but when they age, they actually migrate UP in color so they become more and more blue and reach closer to 6000K though they were 4300K.

Wait til Monday, we will have a D2S special that will be right up your alley.

Thanks! Email your name and info, let me see what else I can do for you for that order (if the sale on Monday is a better deal, we can offer you a credit towards other parts).
