Whiter/Brighter F30 replacement xenon bulbs?
Thanks to quarantine I'm forever looking at extra things to buy for the car
Anyway, I'd like to get some slightly whiter and brighter bulbs for the xenons. I found several threads on the main forums but they all seem to be for bulbs available in the US. Anyone recommend any decent aftermarket bulbs that are whiter than stock but at least as bright (preferably brighter)? Cheers |

I previously used Osram Xenarc Nightbreaker Unlimited for my F31. They were definitely whiter than the standard fit D1S.
The spread of light was pretty much identical though. Also it should be noted that looking at the front of the car with the lights on there was no real perceptible difference. Osram have now updated these to Nightbreaker laser. I'd suspect they would be pretty good as well. |

Another for the Osram lights.
Did my xenons a few years back with theirs and can only imagine the newer versions are even better. For what it’s worth I find the light of my xenons better ie whiter and more powerful than the leds in my wife’s M140 Ps did a post on how to change at the time which may help

Have a look at classiccar led website. I got a set of H4 replacements for my land rover and they are almost as good as the LED's on my 430d.
Not sure if they do them for xenon but they are really good and for not too much money either. |
