as per the manual teaston kindly posted,
plus the lamps only fit one way (for polarity i think),
there is a little 90 degree angled slot in the holder, similar to a SATA lead end on. and a matching part on the lamp.

Thanks Gents.

I thought all access to the headlight cluster was through the whhel arch lining?..

Ill have a good read of the manual tonight

yes m8 still working fine so far...

[davethefish]

just got my spare set delivered yesterday, just need to test them to check they work ok.
again 5 days for delivery from Hong Kong not bad.

[Thackers]

Good to here...Mine havent arrived yet..

Ive seen weisslicht spektrum bulbs advertised on Bimmian..I think they come with a lifetime guarantee aswell..

They claim to be the brightest LEDs on the market. !

Ive emailed them regarding DRLs after reading about their fogs for the F30

Talking about lights- in Denmark every car sold there has to have automatic DRL or dim lights on and you can't switch them off at all. In other words turning on ignition turns the lights.

Thats how all cars work now...Even the mighty F30.

I believe the only way to override this is with coding

[FSE23]

In Denmark you have to use them according the law, that's the main difference

Hi Dave....hopefully mine will arrive this week.

Did you remove the high beam housing first for access to the DRLs?

Does the housing just pull out for either or is there a release catch or turn required?

Thanks again Dave..

glad you like them,
not bad for £16 a set, they'll certainly do for now...

i did like the look and brightness of the WeissLicht indicator LED's
can't see any reason they can't just put a PW24W connection on the white lamp for DRL's.

not so keen on the £49 price tag.
if they do decide to make them, and if they really are 3x brighter then i might get a set.

Yeah a little pricey!

Do you know what the side light bulbs are...not sure about if LEDs are available?

I have some osram night breaker unlimited a to fit for the main H7 halogens and some Mtec H8s that Nisfan recommended for the fogs

I'll try fitting these when I change my winter wheels back....I had a quick look with the wheels still fitted but didn't want to risk damaging the fittings with the limited visibility even with the wheel at full lock..

i have the 4350k 'super white' mtec halogen bulbs all round, main beam dip and fogs.
and some bluish side light bulbs from an internet car auto shop i can't seem to remember????
it took a lot of hunting trying to get a good bright white colour match for the side lights. as most of the 'blue' H6W bulbs are too blue, and the phillips blue vision ultra are way too yellow.

i did have some H6W led side lights from hids direct. but they threw an error and were quite dim, so sent them back.

So the IJDM ones are no good? They look super bright on that video. Need to order some but not sure whether to go for them or the new ones you have bought from Hong Kong
