Want too Install Blue headlight Bulbs

[seanjohnnyc]

I have a 03 x5 with halogen lights. I want to replace the white bulbs with the illegal blue ones. The problem is the regualr bulbs dont indicate the proper size. The daylight running blubs indicate size 9005 but not the high beam bulbs. does anyone know the size of the high beam bulbs?

Thanks

First WTF...illegal bulbs usually draw too much power and will f-up your wiring but...anyway...

Your manual will tell you the bulb sizes.

Thanks Wagner, Ive seen blue bulbs in place like auto zone walmart. I guess they are legal.

look at the wattage. if you're simply going for the "bluish-I wish I were HID light" look, go for PIAA or something like that. Don't do the Nokyaasdfasdfwew EBay lights. Watch wattage, look for a bulb with 55w draw NO MORE. Silverstars are also very good...you can get them at Walmart.

i have them on another car ('cause the X has HID) and they are a nice and crisp white without being stupid fake "i wanna be HID" blue. i had tried the Osram/Sylvania ones but they kept on blowing out every 6 months. the philips are great.
in fact, i have them on the high beams and position lights (W5W bulbs) and they go well with the HID. not such a yellow contrast.

TQ2K has the blue bulbs

I have Xenons on my X5, but on other BMWs (such as my Z3s) the bulbs are usually 9006 and 9005. I run PIAA H4s in my M3, and those are very good but cost a bit more. Be aware they do run hotter than stock though, and sometimes light housing lenses can crack from the additional heat. Wiring can also be damaged from increased wattage.
