Here is a side by side.... Drivers side LED Passenger is stock.
Your HID does sound nice...I almost put them in my E39 but I remember forum members that did the retrofit complaining about melted housings and harnesses. |
A fresh 7506 was brighter for sure. This was 2 years ago, but I still haven't had anything brighter than the HID. The trick with HID reverse lights is to use a 15W kit. A 35W kit would easily melt the housing, while a 15W lights up nicely and doesn't melt anything. I've had HIDs in the reverse lights for over a year, and no problems. I've also left them on for extended periods of time with no problems.
