What type of lights?

Barry Mackonier · 11-13-2013, 05:05 PM

I want to replace the headlight bulbs that came with my chicky (yes, I know they are gooky, please dont flame, I didnt put them in.) I need opinions on what bulbs to replace these blue zenons with. I dont want to spend over $100 and just want to replace the bulbs. I'm currently running with my daytime running lights at night and need to make the switch since one of the headlights is out.

Also- one of my fog lights is out, what type of bulb goes into the fog?...any help is appreciated. Pics included for reference, it is a 2010 328i

I need to get something asap like at an Autozone type of place. There are some BMW aftermarket shops nearby also where I can grab some. Is there a specific brand or make that would be best?

Thanks for your input, much appreciated! Can someone just clue me in as what type of bulb I need? I'm running without a headlight!

Barry Mackonier · 11-13-2013, 07:22 PM

I cant tell if I have HID headlights or halogen? I will give someone an E-reacharound if I can get an answer!

Cool... does autozone still install the lights you buy from them?

What type of foglights will match the sylvania ultras?

They'll probably install them for you. Just make sure you get the right temperature thats how you know they match or not. Example 4000K is oem yellowish. 5500k+ is blueish white and anything over 7500k is purpleish. Goodluck

Okay gotcha, thank you. Do you have a preference for which bulbs are the best IE- highest intensity/brightest? Sylvania Ultra or Sylvania ZXE? Or some other brand?
