Anyone know what brightness the stock HID headlights are on a 2008 535i? Trying to replace my Fog light bulbs from halogen to just a xenon colored one and not sure if 3500k/4000k/5000k etc would match the stock HID headlights, anyone happen to know this info or know where I can look it up?

 

Upgrade your low beams AND fogs to 6000k man, you will NOT be sorry. It's actually a pretty easy DYI too...but to answer your question, I believe the stock xenons are somewhere in the 4000k range. Someone here will know the exact temperature.

 

stock is 4300k. u would not want the xenon colored ones. U risk melting your wiring harness. The best way to go is to upgrade to 6000K HID fogs. I sell them. U can also upgrade the low beams as well. If you choose to upgrade the low beams, u can choose 8000K or 6000K.

 

any suggestions on where to look for the 6k low beams and fog lights and as far as brands etc?
any links would be appreciated.

so if i wanted to go from the stock 4300k to the 6000k HID, what all would i have to replace? Is it just the bulb or do i need the entire ballast and wirings? ...same with the fog lights.
