What halo bulbs do the M's run?

[Aliv6]

Same as non Ms I don't think there is a bulb dept within the M Division ...

 

[Aliv6]

Which is??!

55w H7 is the listed Halogen bulb in the manual of the Z4 and in the M supplement there is no mention of different bulbs so I'd go with that.

All M's have Xenons as standard so the dipped is not a H7!

And the op asked for sidelights (halo) and thats a 501 wedge. Changed mine to a couple of different LED's none fully lit the halo properly so i am still on the oem halogen bulb

Halo could have been the lazy mans way of writing halogen.

Halo as in the circle. And the M's do NOT use 501 wedge for this...

Can someone advise the correct bulb for the Halo (Ring light) what ever you want to call it!

Noted. The point of the exercise was that as a forum it should be known...Clearly not.

Back to the drawing board.

Does anyone know if there are any 'white' coloured bulbs like the 'yellow' type already in the car as stock - fitted led 501s and they dont light the halo much???

A reasonable assumption, to be fair to the fellow M drivers I don't think it's something people have changed in the past... being the guinea pig, if all goes well, make sure you empty your PM inbox!
