It was my understanding your goal was to go to whiter lights that all matched.
That can be done by replacing the stock bulbs with bulbs in the 5000 range rather than the stock bulb that is something like 4200. I went to 6000 which have a blue tint. I threw in the LED turn signal bulbs just so you knew you can make them brighter also. Most LED options will require error free harnesses so they will not initiate and error message.

But the link you sent was for a different BMW model.

This morning I ordered sets of 5000K bulbs for high beam/DRL and fog lights, as well Asa pair of stealth chrome amber turn signal bulbs, so I think I've got it. I opted against attempting LED lights for just the cooler temp bulbs.
Thanks for your help!
