While having my front bumper replaced, I was thinking I would get an upgrade on my front light bulbs. What's the easiest to replace to something brighter that is plug and play? How are the BMW performance light bulbs compared to stock or is there something else better?

I've been using Phillips xtreme vision +130 and they are significantly brighter than stock. Not sure about durability since its only been a few weeks, but so far I really like them. Its not stock HID Xenon bright but I can see much better than before.

I had the performance bulbs. Okay but short lived. Switched to PIAA. Better for sure. Perfect balance of colour and brightness. Made in Japan. Expected to last longer than the performance bulbs

I had the performance ones and they last very short. Now piaa and it is much better.
Iam tempted to go led way but with projectors only no oem housing.

Thanks for the feedback. Can you post a link to where I can buy the PIAA and which model?

Hi,

I replaced my OEM Halogen bulbs with Sylvania SilverStar Ultra bulbs and have been very satisfied -- increased ligjted distance & whiter light (4100K)

For what it's worth

They are called PIAA Extreme White Plus. On a 3 series they should be H7 type.

Walmart of the Internet has them
