That was my first intent but upon looking further, found that individual lights cannot be coded on or off. Plus, now that everything matches...it actually looks decent and is no longer an eyesore

Just wondering if anyone has tried to replaced their halogen with these ones?

This LED has received very good reviews on the BMW K1600 motorcycle forum as a headlight replacement:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/262307059160...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT It's available in a 5000 degree K color temperature, which should look fairly similar to the 4300 K HID headlights on my F36. I plan to try it out for my F36 fog lights. I'll post results if it works. |

I replaced my DRL with LED, and H7s with phillips diamond, the two I have left are the blinkers and parking lights...are there good halogen options? I don't really wanna get into the coding, and resisters, etc.

Hi everyone,
I went through the post a number of times. I have a couple of queries. Firstly, I bought my 2013 BMW 328i recently, unfortunately with the halogen housings. I replaced 1. High/Low beams with H7 Phillips Diamond Vision - 5000k 2. PW24W Parking Bulbs with iJDMTOY 42-SMD - 6000k 3. 13-SMD-5050 DRLs with iJDMTOY 5050 SMD - 6000k Its a much cheaper option, than to change the entire housing for sure. Now, I was quite happy with arrangement until I found out about the varying color temperature. Both my Parking bulbs and DRL's are at 6000k color temperature but I could not find Halogen H7's with 6000k, the Phillips ones are 5000k. Other way round, I could not find DRL's and parking lights of 5000k. The parking lights and the low beams light up together and color difference looks so off between the two. I love the look of 6000k bluish white light. Has anyone able to find 6000k H7 halogens online ? or maybe 5000k PW24W LEDS ? My second question is I have 2 pairs of H7 Auxbeam F-S2 series LEDs lying around. They are good bright 6000k LEDs for both high beams and low beams, alas they do not fit the F30 halogen housings, given the fact that I can code warm and cold checks, is it possible for me to use a converter for the same, I tried two of the converters from amazon but none of them fit. Does any one know a set of LED's or converters for the above H7's that fit F30 halogen housings ? I know its a long post, but I just hope some one would reply ? Your help is appreciated. |

There's no such thing. Those that claim to have higher than 3000k are playing fast and loose with the facts. They look whiter, because the envelopes are tinted blue. Worse, that tint reduces the lumens output.

Did all the iJDMToy bulbs as mentioned here, except the headlights. I probably should've gone the Philips Diamond Vision route for my low beams instead of the HIDs, but I have just ordered the Depo Projector headlights, so the HIDs will work great on those.

Good to know the 3 series just uses H7
The wife has only had her 330e for 4 days but the one time I turned the lights on the yellowness annoyed me. I thought all 330e's had LED lights but we needed and M-Sport not just a sport. Luckily I have spare nightbreakers or diamond vision to chose from. Does the light housing cover have a warranty sticker on it like some other manufacturers. |

what is the purpose of the cold/warm checks? i.e. what are we giving up by coding them out? some safety check?

The cold/warm checks send a series of short pulses to the bulbs to be sure they're working. Those pulses are too short in duration to heat the filaments in halogens enough to light up. LEDs don't heat to create light, and they react more or less instantly, so cold/warm checks will cause them to blink rapidly for a few seconds every five minutes or so. Resistors won't stop it, canbus ballasts won't stop it. Only coding will stop it. If you do have a bulb blow you won't get a warning, so you'll just have to notice it the old fashioned way: It's darker driving with a blown bulb.
In fairness to BMW the hot/cold checks tell you if a bulb is blown during the day, when the lights aren't on, so in theory you can get a new bulb put in before it gets dark. But I haven't had a bulb blow in at least 30 years, so the need for that particular technology is dubious. |
