thanks.. I guess that euro clears are out of the question then.. i actually once saw a post where somone shaved off the white part.. im not sure whee i saw that though..

I have tried several "xenon-like" bulbs on other cars. I would say that PIAA's are very white but burn out very quickly and cost way too much. I am currently using a set of Hoen Xenon Match foglight bulbs on my X5. They are a very good match with the X5's xenon headlights. Cost was very reasonable and you can buy from Hoen directly. Check out their site. You should be able to find bulbs for both your headlights and your fogs.

So a 2005 X5 would use H11? How easy is it to replace these bulbs? How would you compare the appearance and performance of these bulbs with stock?

I like them quite a bit. The match is very good for a halogen and the price was very reasonable, unlike PIAA's that were the previous best match for our X5's. Performance is excellent. I have tried using the fogs alone on a very dark road and they light well. Longevity is yet to be determined. Installation was easy; much easier than replacing a front turn signal bulb.

Here is a picture showing the xenon headlights and one Hoen foglight bulb and one OEM bulb. The difference is clear.
