Where you getting 5500k hid from? Isn't it normally 4300/5000/6000/8000 etc

No problem at all! Check out Efthirty's post. He just did the install.

Finished product. Fitment is on point. No codes or errors. Currently using Philips h7 crystal vision ultra. Switching to HIDs soon. You guys might need to align your headlights out the box.
I ll be putting up pictures once my install is done as well.

One really important question... What do we do if one of the LEDs goes out in a few months?

I sure hope its more than "a few months" but if that does happen then I think these might save the day.

Here's a better photo of the lights installed. No errors so far! And here's the link to the 5500k HIDs http://www.ddmtuning.com/Products/DDMPlusCanbus35W

Also can someone teach me how to post photos on here and not links? Thanks!

Why are people paying Umnitza $2k for questionable Chinese quality lights when these are 1/4 the price and made in Taiwan? Am I missing something?

I think umnitza came out with it first. These are fairly new and not a lot of people know about it I guess.

I always use the App on phone. For the App, you post using the paper clip icon at the bottom of your text.

Also are the DRLs only the rings and eyebrow or also the outer projector. The inner projector is high beams I take it? Sorry if this was already discussed, I must have missed it.

What app do you use?
For the drl it's only the rings light up, for some reason the eyebrows look like they light up in pictures but they don't. It's just a reflection from the rings. Inner lights are high beams and outer protector are low beams.

It's the "Bimmerpost" app.

After you upload, right click your photo and select "copy image location". Then use that when inserting (click the image button or wrap in IMG tags.
You can also upload directly to bimmerpost via manage attachments in advanced reply.
