Ok...so I have them. We tried to put them in...they are not the right ones.
Checked Sylvania.com. Says 7507s are needed. J levi told me that is what they sent. The 7507s. It is marked 7507 on the box they gave me.

I have a 2006 525i with halogen headlights.

Looked at the bulb...its like a larger wedge bulb.

Are my headlights different? I dont understand.

I think Im going crazy. What bulb do I really need?

Very nice in deed. I honestly totally missed that

Ill send them back today and just swap them.

Im going to be meeting up with John today to do the HIDs and also test out a new angel eye led kit he has. Ill PM you and see when this week we can meet up and I can give you dinero as well as put the bulbs in with resistors. Ill send them out today should have them rather quickly.

Thanks LED Jedi master.

No problem man. Definitely let me know when you are free. Today is a nice day though.

Also, if anything, buy them off Ebay, at least you'll get the right type instead of them telling you the wrong bulb type again and again.

They need to get their stuff straight and make sure certain specs are right. IT is odd how some 5 series has this 7440/7443 type bulb and my car has 7507. But then again I have Euro spec headlight from a 2006 (mine is a 2004). I believe Stylezza (alex's car) has the same wedge type bulb you do too.


I think they changed it over in 2006 going forward. *shrug* who knows...

Yeh Ill let them know about it. If those arent the right ones....I really dont know. Im going to take them out again and read what it says on them to make sure. Ill let you know this week when J levi will be sending them to me and Ill come out.

stylezzza

yeah i contacted JLevi, they told me that 7507 is suppose to be the correct size.....dont know whats going on but they also told me to take a picture of my current turn signal bulbs so they can send me the correct ones.....

oh yeah paul, are you selling the bulbs you took out for your sidemarkers? i want to buy them , i broke my sidemarkers, the spring fell and i cant find it LOL

Senza007

Yeh you can have em. I have a bunch. Ill let you know when I am going over to Nigxdoofs to get my front turns put in with resistors and you can have em then. I am gonna call J levi today and tell then the 7440 story. Ill take a picture as well. SOOOO ANNOYING! Now for a week or so Im going to have HIDs with orange damn blinkers.

nigxdoof

Alex, let me know if you want to do them along with Paul's car. we can set something up soon. Just get them right bulbs.

stylezzza
