Interior Xenon

Which company should I go with for interior xenon lights? Also, where can I buy clear lenses for my x5 so the turn signals are clear. And is there a bulb I should go with for my high beams to match my xenons?

You will not be able to replace turn signal lenses to make them entirely clear. The best you can do is the partially amber ones that are from the Sport Package. The only way is to crack open the headlights and remove the entire amber lense - this applies only to the partially clear Sport Package headlights! Do a search and you'll find tons of info and pics.

The interior xenon lights can be purchased from Bimmian. No personal experience with this product.

I have a set of the interiors from Bimmian - I like the color but they aren't nearly as bright as stock. I'm a bit dissapointed. They also don't fit exactly as stock. In most of the lights, you'll need to bend the contacts to make them fit - they're a bit smaller than stock. I wasn't happy that this is not noted anywhere you can see before they're purchased. Having said that, the bends really aren't that bad and you can make them work. I might switch back to stock though - for sure in the tail gate - I can't see what's in the back with these as well as I could with the stock bulbs. Brighter's better, and in the same color would be ideal.

I bought 2 sets from Bimmian one for the X and the other one for my E46. After installing the set for X, I decided I wasn't going to do the E46. Man they're dark, As X5Jay mentionned above, it's nearly impossible to see what's in the trunk cause they're sooo dark. After a week of darkness I decided to remove them completly and sold them 2 for 1 on Ebay.
