DRLs on: If you zoom in, you'll see that "chrome" is actually closer to a mirror and you can see the reflection of the DRLs both when on and off. Definitely noticeably not stock to a BMW owner and car guy like myself but I've been told by others it's not noticeable. If I were to do it all over again, I'd still go with chrome for the luxury package and black for anything else. Black on the luxury package looks really out of place unless I black out all the trim and rims as well. Link to set is https://www.protuninglab.com/pro-yd-bmwf3012-drl-c.html , and you can find them for a few bucks cheaper on EBay. |

Thanks for posting the pictures and link. Its perfect seeing the headlights on black as I also have a black 3 series
I think on my year car (2016), that the sport trim was standard. I have black slats with the chrome surround for the grill. I was thinking of doing the dual slat gloss black grill (M3 style minus the badge). I'm thinking the black housing might look nice? https://www.protuninglab.com/hid-pro...12-drl-bk.html Still deciding lol |

Be really careful where you buy them Bims are notorious for finicky electrical systems.

I have seen 2 black ones on ebay with LED's installed on the low beams. Just wondering if I should go black, or smoke black?
https://www.ebay.com/itm/CREE-Low-Be...QAAOSwvyNa61Gy https://www.ebay.com/itm/CREE-Low-Be...53.m1438.l2649 Im thinking with the LEDs behind a projector, it should look pretty clean. |

If you do get either of those bundles, I highly suggest swapping the bundled LEDs to the high beams and dropping in the Hikari triple LED ones for low beam. I'd also recommend iBrightStar LED turn signals from Amazon, those aftermarket halogen ones don't look well with LED everything else, but that's an aesthetic choice. Both sets look good, maybe smoke goes well as a bit of contrast to pure black. Maybe throw in the LCI black line taillights as well? Last edited by shadowx360; 05-12-2018 at 03:47 PM.. |

Did you install HID to this headlight ? I have also bought 35W Ballast. But the bulb in this projector is 55w. How and where do you connect the Ballast to this headlight ? Will 35W Ballast work for 55w bulb ? Any detailed info or tutorial is highly appreciated. Thanks. |

I think I understand what you mean. It is basically the same process. when removing the bulb out of the socket (the two spring clips). you pull the headlight out of the connector. I plugged the spade connectors into this square part (after you pull out the bulb), then insert the HID bulb and use the spring clips to hold it in place.
https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1459304 this unit linked above is using a different type of bulb holder compared to the one that jlorenzo posted. but the install process is similar. If this doesn't answer your question: could you post a picture of the back of the headlights and where you need more clarification for the wiring diagram.

Originally bought the smoked, but hated the look. They let me swap them out for a clear lens version without even hesitating. Great service. |

I have this projector headlight on eBay purchased. It came with osram 55w bulb without ballast. My question is can I replace this osram bulb (55w) with a 35w hid bulb and 35w ballast. With power supply and the light output will there be any discrepancies ? or dangers for the wiring systems ? I can try and see but before I Fry the original parts or make them nonfunctional, I would like to be careful. That's why I asked the above question. Thanks |
