My Ride: 2011.5 Alpine White E90 M3 | Black Novillo Leather | Carbon Fiber Leather Trim | ZCP | ZP2 | M-DCT | Navigation | Moonroof | 6FL Mods: TMS 12.5mm spacers all around l Hawk HPS Brake Pads l OEM M3 Edition Grills l Paint Matched Side Gills l Key Hole D
So decided to try and change the yellow stock AE's and fogs to a bit more white of a color. I read through some threads and liked member troybal's and poleposition's end results. Changed all four H8 bulbs for GP Thunder Xenon/Plasma Super White 8500K "Quartz" Bulbs w/Ion Coating Standard Wattage. Ordered from hid-lights.com, total cost including shipping for 2 sets/4 bulbs $38.12. Ordered placed on Friday night, received the following Wednesday. Took me about 20 minutes for all 4, man it was easy...referenced these 2 pages from the DIY section:

Nice! Stay tuned for my HID AE's project...
Haha, keep me posted, I won't feel too bad changing these out if your product comes out better as the price for these weren't too bad....GL

but your fogs and AE's match very nicely.
