I just upgraded my 501 bulbs for the angel eyes to the xenon look ones. During the day they don't seem to show as much as the halagons but at night they seem to make a lot of difference in colour.......what do you think?

My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny.
2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter.
Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.
Very nice. Can this be done on cars that don't have Xenons?

yes, my car does not have xenons. So, for cars with no xenons, its a lot cheaper to replace the bulb the the LED 501 bulbs. only cost me ?6 on ebay. Double check your bulb size but im 95% sure your bulbs should be the same as mine.

not sure what you mean by colour temperature. All i know is they are xenon type bulbs that give off a white xenon looking colour.
