Thanks for the suggestion Skylineseason. Have you had any experience with Hoen ??? If so which ones would match the original xenons and spec?
I had it on my car and it matched pretty good with stock xenon.
Check this out

I went with the Angelbright Xenon-match 9006 - there was a promo when I also bought the Angeleye's. They are a very good match for my xenons.

If you want to spend less money, in the United States, the Sylvania Silverstar Ultras in 9006 are whiter than conventional and can be bought in most auto parts places for less than $25 a pair. Check the Sylvania website for coupons. Don't get the regular Silverstars because their bulb life sucks. I've have a pair of Ultras in my Z3 for almost 3 years w/o any problem and they are bright and white.

Thanks Skyline I had actually reviewed that link prior. Do you know which bulb in Hoen in particular would be the correct match and specs???

Thanks Luigi you nmentioned the "Sylvania Silverstar Ultras in 9006 are whiter" but can you confirm that there are a very close match to the E60 original xenon headlights which shine with a blue tint???

My xenons are not blue in the least. What I can tell you is that the Ultra's I used to replace the original halogens in my spouse's Rav 4 are quite white. As a matter of comparison here is a pic where they contrast with the "yellow'ish" H11's in the fog lamps of that vehicle.
