I'm searching the web to find out if exist 50W bulbs ...


I found this site :


http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/sho...d.php?p=476069

Now we know that they exist and they are made by Philips ..

But ... Can I mount it in my car, to replace 35w xenon ?

Second point : who sell them ?

I would be happy to make more light with my bixenon .

The same problem as whit changing 60 W halogens to 100W ones is likely to occour.

You'll melt the reflctors etc. do to heat.

The Xenons has the light capasity enough, just adjust the horisontal lining to a unleagel one.

35W xenons are already good, but if you want more light imho the only solution is mount 50W ...

www.hids4u.co.uk answered me that we need ballasts and other parts, we can't mount simply the bulbs .. I just replyed him to ask if they can go in the E60 adaptive headlight ..

You can also change your foglights to Xenons.

Please concact your dealer with all these issues!

I think I will mount M5 front bumper, thus no fogs
