A had a F10 driving behind me yesterday and I was wondering about its DLR's.
The car had halogens.

They looked insignificant as the ones on the LCI E60 and LCI E90.

I'm sorry to say that order they right options (Xenons) when ordering the car.
All other options will be very expensive (in this case new light clusters) and
it may not even work as good as factory settings. Do to the cableling.

Hope there's an solutution for you.

It would be nice if there was a sticky on how to upgrade the halogens to HIDs. On another BMW forum site, there is a post with a lot of information, but no photos etc. Anyone know of a good post to follow?

Hi, U k change the HID bulbs to whiter type like 5000K or 6000K but there is no after market for AE at this moment to match them. In fact, when you try changing anything within the lightings system, the warning signal will show on yr IDrive and it's very disturbing. Stock DRL of F10 are white if no other lightings is swtiched on......cheers!
