The ebay item you listed are for H8 bulbs in which will be totally different than our stock size. It will not work. The only solution that will result in drastic difference during the daylight is to have either the Orion V2 or V4 installed. I will be sending my M5 headlights for some custome light work soon. I wish there are easier way opening these facelift lights. GL with your search.

They're a brighter white with no yellow twinge to them. I've tried several, and these are ok, so far...
I just ordered and installed the ijdmtoy.com version myself. Better than the factory halogens, but definitely not as noticeable during daylight hours as the E70 and other newer models.

Yea, you won't get near to those without doing some custom work.

Let me know - gonna purchase now.

BTW...I waited for YEARS to find this color blue / 4.8is / with the black comfort seats. It is my absolute favorite color blue - thanks for that

...and, oh yeah, there's a polished stainless steel Billy Boat (B&B) exhaust system in a box in my garage that is being installed Thursday morning!! CANNOT WAIT!! Pics & audio / video to come!!
Oh man, not to get off-topic but ljnlaw's B&B Triflows is one of my favorites of all time.

Looking forward to videos of yours when installed!

I need details on the bulbs...which ones are you using (part numbers / manufacturer)? 3 / 5 / 6 / 10W? Please provide links to the bulbs.

OT for a minute:

Yeah TwinsPoppa...that is the video that Bill Boat HIMSELF sent me the link to for me to check out THE SOUND before I bought the system. I am going to keep the resonator for now...keeps that nasty "gurgling" sound out. We'll see how it goes and I will post up the vid!

I need my angel eyes sorted out first though

Thanks guys!!

Here's the link to the bulbs I bought:

https://store.ijdmtoy.com/ProductDet...-Angel-Eyes-S0

Looks like they are 5W, 600 Lumens, 7000K in color.

Here are a couple pictures of my car with them on (during the evening hours, sun is behind the car).

As you can see from the post above. They will probably all look about the same. Those are good because they only cost $35! LOL

I have the $300 AngeliBrights - which are no longer sold.

Check this thread out. Either the CREE or MTEC.
