Dear All,

Nice! The more you are in there the quicker you get. I can get in there in about 15mins now. At first it took me about 2hrs to figure out how to do it. This was doing the pmb install

JJin909 · 05-09-2006, 03:56 PM

Hey Elite, I noticed that you got Osram 6k...

did you install this on your own?

is it hard?

will it match with your PMB?

what about the fog light you are using?

did you try to make them all match up?

are you able to ?

Thanks

I love BREX

The headlight bulbs are easier to change than installing the Brex kit!

The 6000K D1S is a good match to the Brex kit.

So HRC...

Did you DIY? if it is not that hard, I will get them online and do installation myself.

Thanks!

how does the brex kit power its LEDs to light up the RINGs?

It uses the power that used to go to the 10watt bulb used to light the rings.

Yes I installed the 6000k's. It's just one more step to change the bulbs once you are there. Just unclip 4 clips on headlight cover and you are there. You also have to disconnect battery. They look good with the hyperwhite PMBs. I haven't changed the fog lights yet. Thats next. There has been some discussion about matching up the fog lights. Not sure which ones exactly match the 6000k's.

did you mean the Brex absorb the halogen bulb light to power itself?

Hunter399 · 05-17-2006, 09:31 AM

Where did get the Brex from?

HRC · 05-17-2006, 10:10 AM

Yes, I guess. The original halogen bulb uses power to tirn on, but when you install the Brex, you disconnect the power to the halogen bulb and connect it to the Brex Kit.

By any chance can you take a pic of the street with the Brex turned on (how much they actualy light?)..looks good though, I'm debating on whether to get them or not..

ZuerstBMW · 05-20-2006, 12:54 AM

Look great. Do you actually have to take off the front wheels to do this?

No you don't its just easier if you do, but it can be done without taking the wheels off, its really not that much harder..

ZuerstBMW · 05-20-2006, 01:08 AM

Thanks Caster. Do you have these as well?

No I don't but I have installed the PMBs which is an almost identical installation to the Brex, I'm still deciding on whether I should go with Brex or LUX rings, just waiting it out, patience is a virtue

When you get a chance to install your Xenesis Fogs can you tell me how they are? I'm deciding on getting them and holding of on an HID fog kit, but I'm not entirely sure yet. You probably want to install your Xenesis Fogs the same time you install the Brex,, If I'm correct I think you have to take off the wheel well to install them, so you might as well do it while its off

nice

Yeah I was going to get Brex too, until I found out about LUX, so I'm waiting for that now to save my poor savings
