Hi there

just a quick question what lamp does the e60 m sport take in fogs is it H8 or 9006?

Some places say h8 and some say 9006, can anyone confirm this.

Also was looking at mtec lamps can anyone recommend any from here

Thanks!

The wise carpenter once said, "Measure twice - cut once!"

Mine ('07 530xi) were 9006 but I always advise removing the original lamp to verify the bulb style - ESPECIALLY if replacing with a more expensive after-market type.

OH! I didn't see that post ... but that sux big time ... The HB4 = 9006!

May the low life who stole your fogs be overcome by the smell of the bowels of the earth!
