Burnt out low beam headlight.
I've had my 2006 X5 for about 6 months and the passenger side low beam headlight has burnt out. I went to a local auto parts store for a replacement and it was $80 for one bulb. I did some research and it looks like I can upgrade to super white for quite a bit cheaper. Since I would be upgrading the low beam bulbs to super white it would make sense to change the angel eyes to super white as well right?

I found these on Ebay. Does anybody have any experience with these? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Also, since there are two angel eyes on each side would I need two pair?

Thank you in advance.

Blue tinted bulbs usually put out less light and have shorter life. IMO, HID kit is a better option.

I'm guessing you don't have Xenon lamps?

According to the site you referenced there's a compatibility test
and according to the test those bulbs are not compatible for your
vehicle. Look at where it says........

Compatibility
Please choose your vehicle year, make and model for specific results.
