Not all E53 come with projectors, I think 04+ use reflectors with H11 bulbs. Stock HIDs are 4300K, to match fogs with headlights - 5000K should be used since there is no projector cutoff discoloration present with reflectors.
DDM HID kits are pretty good but you still have to pay for the shipping if returned.

Honestly, ballasts are built so much better than they were years ago, so I'd go ahead and do it personally. If you've already got HID headlights, get a 3k (yellow like Lexus, but I've always liked that personally) or some in the 5k-6K (no more than that) HID kit from www.ddmtuning.com. Your stock HID's are around the 5k-5.5k range, so going higher than that will look stupid. DDM has a lifetime warranty, so in the end, who really cares how many ballasts you go through. |
