Hey all. Only really noticed the other week that the running lights on my '09 zed are not as bright white as the xenons themselves. I'm pretty sure I've seen other bmws, not Zeds, with brighter white running lights. Anything I can do??

Thanks
 
Led replacments but I am not too sure which ones to get myself.

Tried the blue halogens slightly better but outer rings not fully lit for some reason.

These seem to be the most popular over all but can cost from £60 to the price above.
 
I have opted for these today so will feed back once fitted. I upped the 10 plate but with bluer bulbs as LEDs not out then. £55 all in worth the punt.

umm put them in last week and I have been having issues with the DAB radio and FM. Thought I was going mad reception was very bad, infact at one point I could only get 2 fm stations and they sounded rubbish. Dab was on then off loosing signal thought it was the radio. yesterday went back to fm and it was an intermittent pulse causing the radio to crackle every few seconds.

Then I had a light bulb moment :tumbleweed:

no seriously I thought it cant be the led's, so last night put old bulbs back in and had no radio issues so these dam things are rubbish and will be going back ASAP.
 
Bizarre as I have these and no issues with DAB etc

Only time I lose signal is in very remote areas which is no different to when I had halogen halos...
 
I may have a faulty one. They are going to supply a pair of inline resisters but unsure if this will help. May try one at a time to see if its a faulty driver.

Must say they look good though.

I did think it was the radio at first
