H1 led in amber?
 

Baught some off flea bay and they don't fit.
Can anyone recommend a vender ?

Model? Model year? Aftermarket? OE? Low beam? High beam? Fog?

Help us help you better...provide a little bit of detail/info so that we absolutely understand what you're referring to. This is not like Twitter where you are hampered by only a designated amount of characters. You can freely type to clarify and make clear what it is you're asking. :) Not everything is the same from 2000-2006 and if you throw aftermarket into the mix...that's even more unknown info just to toss stuff at the board. :)

Well I did provide the size of the bulb and this is the
E53 group.
Also pretty sure they all use the H1 style bulb.
Which is what I asked about.
But since you mention it...

2005 BMW X5 4.4i with hid & adaptive headlights
Build date 11/04.
Do you have an answer or just more nannying?

Sorry you feel that it's "nannying". I was just trying to be helpful...but don't remember what the bulb numbers are...but have replaced a bi xenon low beam & AE bulb on a facelift.

I was prepared to goggle a list of vendors etc and post them for your convenience. But now...I'll leave it for someone else to help you because it seems like I've upset your sensibilities. I'm sure someone will chime in that knows exactly what you're asking for without any other details.

Sorry I tried to help. :(

I'm with you here - so many people feel they're entitled for some reasons these days :(

What a bunch of dicks ! So it's MY fault you were ignorant
Of what a H1 bulb is?
Laughing my ass off
Sir it is NOT my fault you did not understand the question.
I don't need or want your kinda snap judgment.

Chill man!

We're here to help.

E53 models varies in build ......and are NOT the same.....Country-Year of Manufacture and Options.

You asked Qs......we answer and assist....the Best that we can!

We don't know "EVERYTHING!":dunno:

YOU came here to ask for help......please respect us to respect you!:stickpoke

Still.. no one here has helped so.....
I don't care about anyone's opinion about HOW I should ask for help
If you can NOT help please gtfo.
That's what Facebook is for ��

So you are pretty sure you need an H1. And you have an LED H1 bulb right there. WTF is your problem then?

You know what an H1 bulb is but can't find anyone to sell you one...and you have an H1 bulb that you are sure is correct but can't make fit...and we are the ignorant ones?

Lol!

I'm sure you're used to hearing this...
You are excellent at making an ass outta your self.
Obviously the factory oem is NOT led. Therefore
It must be after market. Duh 🙄
I stated the ones I baught did not fit and that they were H1
You haven't helped me at all but to show your ignorance
(by your own admission) and bitch. You obviously don't know anything at all about bmws.

You know these will fit the car I listed? Amazon says it will not.
Unless you have experience with this product?

Or did you just do a search on Amazon?

They will fit in a H1 application. I am assuming you're looking for fog light bulbs since that is the only H1 bulb on the car that I know of/can find. Typically the problem people have with LEDs is that they are too wide to fit through the opening even though they have the correct base. These are slim so that they do not interfere width wise. Since you are being incredibly vague about what exactly isn't fitting, I had to assume that's your problem.

If you're actually going for the yellow fog light look, look for yellow bulbs as they have a greater selection. I have never heard of anyone going for amber (which is also why availability is slim). Also a high powered yellow halogen bulb is going to yield much better visibility than a cheap led one.

I am also assuming that you know what bulb it is you are trying to replace. Given the caliber of your past posts, that is a risky assumption to make.

Your attitude is bad, your thread is bad, your posts are bad, your English is bad, and you should feel bad. Maybe your cheap LEDs will burn down your car.

Yeah, but at least I can fit a light bulb on my car :nanana:

So you're assumption is that I don't need an H1 size bulb?
Wrong. Flash to pass is h1.
And STILL no one here has answered my question.
You guys have the iq of a Hillary voter.

Go back to Bimmerforums. This forum is entirely too helpful and friendly to have to tolerate this kind of childish behavior. I'm glad we rarely have to tolerate ignorance and immaturity like this.

Cw, don't be too hard on him, he's obviously just frustrated trying to solve a problem with his BMW. We've all been there at one point.

OP, I apologize for everyone here. Let's get to work finding a solution.

I found this for you. It's yellow, LED, and gives out a lot of light for flashing.

You can stick it out the window and pull the trigger when you need to flash to pass.

You're welcome!

Lolwut? I sent you a H1 bulb. I didn't know what spot you needed a H1 bulb for so I assumed fogs since all e53 use H1 fogs and you wanted an amber color.

Who the hell puts a dim amber led bulb in the flash to pass?

Your reading comprhension is poor. But luckily if I needed a high place to jump from after reading this thread, I can jump from your number of chromosomes to your IQ.

Well fuck all of you pricks.
No one here helped.
Just mocked me.
I'll be happy to go to another forum.
No one here knows jack.

Well dang, that went south pretty quickly... :(

As far as I know, the fogs are H11 - the FTP lamps (on Bi-Xenon models) and the high beams (on standard xenon models) are in fact H1.

While I don't have any experience with replacing halogen lamps with LED replacements, I have studied it extensively. Which is no substitute for actual experience but here's my $0.02 worth.

It seems more trouble than it's worth, especially if you are after better lighting. If your goal is something else (longer life, different colour etc.) then maybe it's worth looking into. But in general terms, the LED replacements need better cooling and you'll need to bypass/disable the cold and maybe even hot monitoring built into the Beemer.

And then there's the physical fit question; as has been mentioned, while the H1 base is a standard, there my be other aspects of the LED lamp the create clearance issues. I guess you've already found that out. Dremel time? :dunno:

LED replacement lamps aren't legal down here - even in tails etc. (except if you replace the entire fitting - but lamp replacement is out). Xenon upgrade lamps aren't legal either, in halogen headlight units. Again, you have to replace the whole assembly. There's a good reason for this; reflectors designed for halogen etc, rarely work well with LED or Xenon.

But I guess anything can be made to work where laws don't prohibit such mods.

Easy buddy, you're working yourself up a bit too much. Let's start over.

If you could describe what it is you're trying to achieve and where exactly (I know it's been mentioned but just to start clean again). We would be able to help/advice you fairly quickly. The members on this forum are experienced and extremely helpful, 99% of them have experience with fixing, changing or upgrading their lights so you've come to the right place.

Let's start over. Agreed?

Ouch!:explode:

My turn

Coming from the child who can't even buy the proper headlight bulb. Does mom & dad know you're messing with their car?

Coming from the guy who's signature states that you inherited your car.
:bustingup

Yep, inherited as in receive (money, property, or a title) as an heir at the death of the previous holder.

Not given by mommy & daddy as in your case, clearly. Might as well give up here lil kid

I haven't seen those "LED fogs" for sale in an amber color temp yet. I had been looking to put some in the mainbeams of my MKV Jetta with worthless DRLs to avoid chaining bulbs every month. Seems like those are all 6000k no matter what bulb format they are.

I have aftermarket housings in that car that use H1, so I specifically look for that. I'd rather 4300k, as 6000k sounds like a terrible idea for a place that actually has tons of fog.

Also, OP's stucco backing grille mesh is strong. Does it rust?

Strong yes. It's galvanized and I've yet to see any rust.

I'm doing that. And if you find a quality LED fog bulb in 3200K or less, post it up. I need them for two cars, at least.

I was on my way to getting these https://www.amazon.com/Calais-Extrem...h11+led+yellow before deciding to stick to hid's
