I know the colour temp for the Xenons is 4300k, so I'd assume the angel eyes to be the same/similar, as they're designed to match?

Quick question for you guys... on the F30 does the LED brow match the AE's exactly or are the AE's a big bluer and the brow is a bit whiter?

Where can you buy these bulbs? Are they easy to change? I have a 335i as well and I hate the yellow front fog lights. Also, is there a mod for changing the turn indicators from amber to color matched white?

Not the case,
The LED that lights the angel eyes is a single high-powered LED, which is the part 1lyfe is referring to, the brow is lit by a strip of LED's If you doubt me, go into your garage, unlock your car from the keyfob and watch - both the AE's and brow light up, then a while later the brow turns off, then a few seconds the AE's turn off - they're different light sources Check my signature, that's a pic with the AE's on, but the brow off Personally, I haven't noticed a significant color temperature difference between the two, but I can imagine a world where BMW bought LED's from different vendors and different builds might have different variance in color temperature |

F30 coding for fog lights...
utenigma, What F30 coding did you have to do for the fog lights to work independently from the headlights? I can only turn ON the fogs when headlights are turned ON.
