ah ok I will try my luck but what's weird I can't find it anymore on Horizon website. it's 6000k anyway so I might not like it's color vs. 5000k bulb I have.

From the hue of the tail light, I'd say red.

Just pulled the trigger for the same but from US as I can get it tomorrow. Did you need Load resistors for your install of these bulbs in the fogs? I am confused. Canbus connector and load resistor the same thing? Where did you get the Canbus connector for H8 from? Also when you install these do you remove the wheels or just turn it away to access the bulb housing? Your response and experience are appreciated. |

Yes they do have some glare but I don't drive with them on until I get to a countryside. The do come on when I turn as I have adaptive headlamps. I think I was expecting a huge improvement but I think I was wrong. LED in reflector lamps are not the best combination unless they come stock and the optics have been done right. Honestly there is no way of measuring the lumen output of what is claimed on the box of 3000 lumen.
I didn't need a resistor or Canbus for these leds though. Which is great! Only coding to enable LEDs. I am still going to see how it does over the week. If I am not happy guess I will go back to stock halogen as nothing can be done except go to OEM LCI LED fog lamps. |

Hey Nick, really great post! Thanks for putting all this together. I've read through everything a few times but want to make sure I have this correct:
Option 1 = H8 CREE LED - 50W which is a straight swap of the bulbs and is about $35 for 2 bulbs. (Link: http://www.horizonleds.co.uk/h8-50w-...og-light-bulbs) Option 2 = H8 CREE XHP50 LED Headlight Kit - 3000 Lumens which are actually headlight bulbs, but work and give you more light output. These are $125 for 2 bulbs. (Link: http://www.horizonleds.co.uk/h7-cree...adlight-kit-g4) Option 3 = Replacing the halogen assembly with BMW LED Foglight Assembly. These are $350 for the 2 housings, but then I need to get LED bulbs? Is that right? (Link: https://www.ecstuning.com/ES2960697/...FVUWHwodK-sP1Q) Sounds like Option 3 is easily the best but it's substantially more expensive. And the difference between Option 1 and Option 2 is noted throughout the thread (light output, glare, etc). I'm leaning towards Option 1 since this is entirely an appearance upgrade for me. And each car is different, so it's impossible to know if I need the resistors or not? http://www.horizonleds.co.uk/h8-canb...ning-canceller Thanks man. |

If you can hold on for one day, I can confirm whether you need the CanBus connectors for the option 2 lights. Apparently this new bulb design doesn't require CanBus connectors, so tomorrow I will take my connectors off and let you know how that works. Option 1 is a good place to start IMO, if you find that you need more light, then simply move on to option 2. I personally need the strongest lights possible for my car given the amount of potholes here, however, your needs may be different, hence different light choices. I will upload some pictures right now of the fog lights in action. Hope that helps! Feel free to ask if you need more help.
