there are some bulbs with a tint of blue which are whiter but I don't like the blue.

Just had all my front lights changed to bright white lights with blue circular ring. Main beam, Fog lights, Side lights, and dipped. All road legal. You can get them off Ebay in a box set for £16. but you have to get 2 extra side light bulbs because there are 2 for the dipped and 2 for main beam. Just make sure you get the right wattage. Should be H7 kit. You just change bulbs over with no conversion kit needed. You have to change fog light bulbs on ramp so you can drop under tray to get to covers. Does look good now and are brighter!

Does these light bulbs work for 2010 E60 LCI model (halogen)? I remember someone mentioned there is only one light bulb for both angel eyes? Can someone confirm? Thanks.

I will be looking for some for mine..

From reading the thread, the 12v 8W ones seem to bes the best?

Im wanting the white'est look possible without having to mess around with LEDS resistors etc..

I have also seen some 10w bulbs, are the 8w's as good as the 10w's ?

Cheers

Rick

I never seen the 10w 1s and never tried it. that sounds like abit too much watt for a bulb.
You can always be the 1st white mice.
