1 more thing, what 'K' is the OEM denon bulb? and if i change to 8000K bulbs which is brighter and 'bluer'?

tnx in advan
K is color temperature in degrees Kelvin

Bluer lights are not brighter in terms of LUMEN.. it may LOOK cool.. But you are putting less light down on the road. If you want the brightest HID or LED its best to stay in the K color range of 4300K-5500K

Has anyone changed the highbeam h7 to led? From what I'm told led can be brighter and shoot further than halogen, and since I'd like to black out the reflector I thought led might be a good idea. Any input?

It’s illegal in most places to put LED lights in reflector housings since the light is thrown all over the place.

Any recommendations on a replacement bulb for 9006 Bulb - 55 Watt (fog light)

I'm looking for an LED bright white. Most the bulbs that I've seen the back of it is huge due tot he fan. I'm not sure if I will be able to fit it properly without modification of the housing.

I just ordered these for my M-Sport Fogs. I'm hoping there is enough room in the front bumper for them. If not I'll find another use for them.




On another note, is the original list (first post) up to date?

I have an 06 e90 325i. I've dealt with the headlight issues and want to change away from halogen but now my issue is this: I thought I just needed new low beam bulbs but put them in and I've got nothing. Tried the more expensive halogens, tried cheap ones that always work, nothing. Fuses are all good. Someone said the FRM but wouldn't there be more lights out than just headlights? High beams are good, fog lights, all good except the f*%**!! low beams. Any ideas would be so greatly appreciated!!

Anyone know where you can purchase 7528 rear amber bulbs for the turn signal? Most are clear and I can't find the amber bulbs.

7528 is incorrect. 7506 is what you want for all taillight bulbs (signal, brake and running lights). They are all white. Just replaced mine today.

There are no amber bulbs involved unless you have blackline taillights, pictured below. In that case, you will need 7507 amber for the turn signal only.
