Like these? Can you confirm these fit into stock housing without modification?

I personally bought some led bulbs from one of our site sponsors and just upgraded the high beam to a bright white color bulb since I don’t use it that much. Also went led fog bulbs as well. Don’t forget some coding will need to be done to keep the led bulbs from flickering. Good luck. |

What Halogen high beam did you choose, I was planning to go the same route... What LED H8 did you use for fog? |

First post shows the led bulbs and resisters I used in one of the pics. And also list the led bulbs I bought for the high and low beams. When I switched to the retro headlights I got rid of the leds and went with HID and the regular bulbs for high beams. I used xenesis tru-match bulbs. |

I'd feel guilty replacing my Fog's with these but unless someone can recommend better, Ill probably give them a shot.

I got these for my car last month. Super bright, matter of fact it may be a little too bright lol. But pattern is good and consistent.
Lows http://www.ddmtuning.com/Products/Saber-50W-H7-LED-PR Fogs http://www.ddmtuning.com/Products/Raptor-35W-H7-CSP They’re not plug and play. Had to code out the warm and cold checks to prevent the flickering. Have been working well for about a month now. |

http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1377259 someone else posted a similar tutorial. Nonetheless the same questions keep coming up on an almost daily basis, sometimes in simultaneous posts. |

I definitely disagree. Not saying I didn't take an $8 gamble but I believe, if they work - they will be bright and functional especially since they have both forward and side facing LEDs. I will confirm when they arrive and post pics. |

Forward facing LEDs are often the reason for a bad beam pattern and blinding oncoming traffic. Halogens don't send light forward for that reason. Preventing forward light transmission is why halogen bulbs have a dark coating on the front of the bulb.

They fit into the stock housing. The only trickery is getting your hands and head in the wheel well at the same time. You can either look at where the bulb goes, or you can put your hands in there, but not both. I took a pic with my phone so I could see what I was feeling in there...

Im not saying they wont be blinding - they very well could be, my assumption is that since they are low to the ground and rarely used... Ill be fine. I definitely don't want to be "that guy" blinding every car I pass in the dark. |
