Is it possible to have all light bulb warnings cancelled by coding?

Hi,
I recently got these Philips 6700k bulbs put it and am looking for angel eyes to match with them. The bulbs seem to match perfectly with oss headlights but i'm not looking to do all of that right now. The lux v4 i have are spotty with blue dots everywhere and also the blue seems to be like a cool sky blueish color where my headlights come out as a icy purpleish blue. can anyone recommend any AE's to match with these?

This is great comparison! Thank you!
Which brand is the most similar color/intensity to the stock 2013+ BMW models?

I see the GP Thunders are rated 12V & 35W, so why would there be voltage coding necessary? I am about to order a pair, but if they are not direct plug'n'play and they require coding, I may reconsider

BTW: if coding is required, is it just for the AE, or also the Fogs?

Thx

Coding is only required if you want to run the lights at full power. By default the car always dims the angel eyes so instead of running at full power they are normally around 90%, and when the headlights come on its less than 50%. This reduced power makes them not only dimmer but also changes the color of them.

None will really be like them as that is unattainable while utilizing a plug and play system in the stock housing. You would need custom rings to come close.

That being said, the brightest are the 160W currently. Lux, XPH and HPB to name a few are all 160W.

Thank you for your input.

Won't 160W run too hot for our BMW vehicles?

They don't draw 160W. The output is = to 160W halogen. They draw about the same power as the stock bulbs. Buy with confidence.

Anyone running Umnitza, & has pics of your setup?

Also, do any of these other applications require added wiring, or are they typically PnP?

ArcticBimmer · 07-14-2015, 02:06 AM

Has anybody tried these? They are inexpensive and seem to be nice, but most websites tend to display misguiding pictures.. http://www.x-ph.com/80w-total-output...el-eyes-6000k/

If anybody has these or has read about them, are they any good in daylight?

Easy install. I did not have to remove the wheels and liners. After I pulled the air box there was plenty of room to work.
