6000k bulbs

Finally had a headlight burn out so I went and bought 2 new 6000k bulbs

How are they going to look?

and do i have to remove my front bumper to install?

Just a bit dimmer especially when there are a lot of other light sources. When it's completely dark (no street lights) its hard to tell the difference. I'm talking about light intensity not color.

and do i have to remove my front bumper to install?

No you don't have to but it would make things more easier. You'll need to at least:

- Loosen bolts to the accessories on the driver side
- Remove screws holding the headlights

That way you can move the HLs forward to give you some maneuvering room.

Check this thread out:
Facelift front bumper headlight removal instructions.

See above.

6000k is a bright white with a very slight blueish look to it barely. It looks good, 6000k is my favorite..

thanks guys, I installed them with help, without taking out front bumper.
THEY LOOK GREAT!
bought them from Bimmian.com
awesome service, great group of guys to deal with!

They look Very blue IMO and are more blue and bright than any of my other BMW stock headlights including my 07 3 series

I will buy 6000k for all my bmw's
