Glad to hear you are as impressed as I was!

For £20 they are an absolute steal! I should have negotitated a commission with the seller :rofl:

Seriously, I cannot see how the much more expensive bulbs would be any better?

Me neither , quality feel about the product too , 5mins to fit both sides & pics don't really convey the transformation .

Hi folks,
There seems like a big difference in brightness between the white inner and outer rings. Is the difference more pronounced than the factory yellow rings? Thinking about purchasing some but on the fence at the minute.

Thanks

Well worth the risk for £25 and 5 mins of your time I reckon

I bought these cheap one's work great. The outer will never be even with the inner, but i leave my main lights all the time. so the outer being less bright is not noticed.

This is indeed the case as the rings are a different size and the lighting offset.

I wish I'd seen this thread earlier!

I've tried a few bulbs in my E89 with limited success.

first I tried some 80W LED's from ebay - only the inner ring lit.
So I then moved onto a 55w HID kit. - works but bulbs are too long.

So yesterday I ordered some of the new OSRAM COOL BLUE BOOST H9's

They promise to be 5000k so should match the HID's quite well. Reviews look good. They aren't road legal, but then neither are any of the LED's.

(road legal halogens need to be 4200 Kelvin or less, and 55w or less)

Problem is on the passenger side, there is no room to rotate it anticlockwise. Its blocked by some screws and other parts. However, there is enough room in clockwise direction but it doesnt unscrew that way.

Any pointers?

From what I remember both bulbs unscrew in different directions.
This caused me confusion when I was putting the new one in as I forgot and spent ages trying to screw the new bulb in the wrong way.
