Hi mate,
I am in the same situation as you. I have the halagon headlights so i also want to upgrade the H7 bulbs for now for the closest xenon look. There are so many bulbs out there so im not sure which ones to get. There's a lot of bulbs out there that look very cheap and tacky but the phillips ones you mentioned seemed pretty cool. If you end up getting hold of these i would really appreciate it if you can let me know the result. A HID's upgrade s too expensive for me at the moment, but a bulb upgrade is definetly needed. Please let me know how you get on. thanks mate

I have a 2004 E60 530d with the halogen headlights so it'll be fine to fit. I've got a few questions:
Are these the brightest bulbs for sure that I can get for the angeleyes on my car ?
What about the LED bulb....is that any good ? I saw http://www.mstyle.co.uk/acatalog/info_ms_89a.html
I also want to change the dipped beam H7 bulbs to ones which look HID/Xenon. I know you use PIAA 4700k. I was thinking of Phillips Diamond Vision H7 5000K. I have heard they are the closest to the HID/Xenon look. Do you sell them too ? I know Diamond Vision look amazing but maybe not as bright as Phillips X-treme Power H7. Maybe I'll try Diamond for dipped beam and X-treme for fogs ? I know it won't match but could look good. Or maybe Diamond for both dipped and fogs ! Not too worried about the High Beam H7 as I hardly use / need that.
What do you use for the fog lights H4 bulb ? Both Diamond and X-treme are also available in H4 too.
I didn't want to do the HID conversion as I think it can be expensive as well as complicated / difficult sometimes. I think its easier/simpler/cheaper to just change the H7, H4 and the sidelight/angeleye W5W/501 bulbs. Do you think I am right ?
I'm in the UK and am interested in your MTK bulbs....send me the price/postage information. I can pay you with paypal.

I have tried LED before and they will brun out after a few months because they get too hot.

Just to clarify, the foglight bulb is actually HB4 or 9006 and not H4 as I incorrectly typed above.
