If so I'd like to see some pics..I've seen some on a couple of e92s but would really like to see one on an e82.

Not the Philips 8500k(D1s), but another brand of 8500k's on my 1 series (no errors and no modification/coding required)
(edit: had stock halogens orginally)

Just making sure you all know that....

You guys do understand these aren't regular cheap 8500k bulbs right ? They're Philips and they lose very little if any output.
Former_boosted_is,is a very respected member and does very extensive testing and reviews,with real world results,and has concluded that these bulbs hardly lost any light output. If you happen to look at your stock bulbs you'll see theyre also made by Philips,these happen to have an icy white color instead of the very blue most 8k bulbs give off.

Anyway back on topic..

And Watts? 35w or 55w

Thanks..but please let's stay on topic here,I already own a pair of 6000k bulbs and am leaning towards the bulbs mentioned in this thread.

I know the higher you go the more lumens you lose,but this particular
Bulb has been proven to be just as bright as a 6000k.Truth be told it probably is within a 6k range,but named 8500k for marketing reasons.
