yes, i have them for over 7 months now and still in good shape. make sure don't touch the bulbs when you replace them. don't forget to post some pics later .

[/quote]Nope, past the family man / business purpose in cars now. I was close to the 545 when the 6er was announced and once I saw a pic or two I was hooked.
But you guys are great here and I get far more valuable information here than any purported 6er forum

quick question... if i do not have xenons in my bmw, can i just get HID bulbs and put them in there with the same wiring? and will i get that sweet blueish color?
If yes, can someone suggest a bulb?
This is for the low beams btw... not the fog lights

BUT Sure you can do it, the safest bulb to go with would be the Osram Sylvania SilverStar H7ST they are ~4000K which will be very close to the BMW Xenons in "WHITE-ness / BLUE-ness" BMW Xenons are ~4200K as stated above somewhere.
http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProducts/A...ine/default.htm
The 4th to the last bulb on ^^^ page. You can get them at the local Parts store... I thnk they're about $24 a bulb.
If you want more blue then go ahead and look for a 4700K bulb from PIAA or somthing but I dont know the exact ones to get but as long as they are H7 type then you are ok. Try to keep within the approx Wattage so you wont be drawing too much current on existing wiring. and of course 12 Volt bulb.
The H7ST are 12V 55W so they are same as OEM.
