I imagine there are lots of different types of bulbs available.
I wanted a H7 which was about 6500k and bright enough to see the damn road without blinding oncoming traffic.
I tried most of the wanabee's xenon gas crap even 100w with relay. I resorted to using HID with ballast and thats when the problem arose.
Not by me but a previous owner had fitted different headlamps with angel eyes from 2xcite. These are very cool headlights but have a projector which is smaller than most.
The HID bulbs are much too long and hit the shield inside the projector. Mind you, I was warned. Back to the drawing board.
At last, I contacted a Company in Hong Kong who use a new Cree chip from Philips. These chips produce 4500lm EACH, and are around 6000 - 6500k. They have a small fan to aid cooling and a flat ballaster. Even though they supplied top quality resistors for a couple of quid or so, I did not need them on the Z4.
They are really easy to fit and give a very bright, crisp, direct white light. Not sure if oncoming traffic can see it but they give a very cool tint of deep blue at the top edge of the light which reflects on the road signs. I have never seen such power from an LED before. These really are top quality and very cool.
The company is called "U-Kars Store" they are a very sound company, extremely helpful and delivery was only 6 days (though it states could be much longer)
