I have a question for you. Can someone with halogens pull one of their bulbs out? I want to see if there are any error messages when you pull the bulb out. I am going to stock some BRIGHT LED bulbs for the halogen angel eyes but need to see which one works. Need some feedback and help from Senza as well. lemme know who is interested. It's better than the dim regular halogen bulbs.

You mean for the halo ring light, right?

If it is then yes, I got "front parking light malfunction" error when I pulled one of them.

Are you asking for Pre-LCI or LCI halogens or both?

For Pre LCI, the bulb is 12w. Check out this link, (http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=49997&hl). A member from HK is selling replacement bulbs (not LED). I'll be interested to know if the brighter LED can be used w/o error. Let me know.

Mine are xenon white no blue...but they arent as bright and sometimes they flicker. J levi said theyd replace them but its mad weird theyre like supposed to last forever. Also have error messages when I put them on. Front headlamp malfunction.

U know the deal Paul. Forget those mini "xenon" bulbs. they are crap anyway. I'll hook u up. Prolly do ur HID headlights, foglights, then mess with ur angel eyes. The interiors will have to wait a bit. shouldnt have error lights with those halogen xenon bulbs tho. i'll check ur connections. lemme know if ur avail monday.
