Did you go with the 7500K or the 8500K and what do you think? I feel like the 8500K would be a bit to Bright and hopefully the 7500K just right.

Thoughts?

So here's to beating a dead horse. Saw a 2011 3 series convertible today. Headlights look amazing...make audi look like tunerboy autozone shit boxes. Cannot get over how they could fuck us over like this when all these cheaper vehicles come with the new led's.... such crap. Is it possible to install the oem lights from the 2011 5 series? I know there are aftermarket changes to consider...just wondering...

I share your frustration, I cannot believe BMWNA pull this out on the X5 LCI when all the other 2011 LCI models are coming out with the updated coronas/angel eyes. At this point I will probably proceed with the GP thunders and wait. I have feeling that by end of year 2011 X5 production will have the update, then it becomes a matter of trying to retrofit the system.

They look pretty amazing on the new F10 5 series. Too bad the rest of the car is butt ugly.

I have these ones. But I don't know where to mount the resistors (the silver boxes at the picture) to keep it steady without any vibrations.

Dilaro - resistor placement
I have the city vision leds, which look exactly like your picture. I called led92, the company from whom I bought them because I was worried if I needed to place the resistor box outside the light housing due to heat. They said no. When I installed them, I laid the resistor down flat in a little space just next to the light. I have had them in for two weeks now, with no problems at all. I have even pulled one out a few days ago and checked everything, and it all looked fine. BTW, it looks soooo much cooler (and brighter) than stock. Enjoy!

I'm completely span around with all those kits. Jake 1474, which product did you buy and install?
