M3Newbie88 · 03-28-2008, 10:22 AM

Nice.. thats gonna be my second mod next to tinting my windows.. thanks larryn!

I bought the 8500k off of recomendation's on E90post. But if i don't like them at $20 a pop its not that hard to switch to 7500k. Either way both make the color look much better than the stock yellow. Cars drive much better when they have happy lights

larryn · 03-28-2008, 03:04 PM

I want to hear other reports about the bitch clip, and if you had problems with it.

If you prefer a web store over ebay here is a site:

I just ordered from them and waiting for the bulbs now.

I ordered both...and I already received the 8500's. As soon as I get the 7500's, I will installed one of each on the car and take some pictures.

PhAzE · 03-30-2008, 06:42 PM

First mod I'm going to do to my car, have the bulbs on the way. Most likely the bulbs will be here before the actual car.... Damn ship had to break down when I'm on it... grrrrr

Yes please, for those of us on the fence!!

ChrisK · 03-31-2008, 08:48 AM

I am hoping the 7500's will show up today.

MadMan77 · 03-31-2008, 12:16 PM

Ok, dumb question here guys but I am going to jump out on a limb since thise will be my first BMW with angel eyes.

Are there two bulbs or four?

Thanks for overlooking my being a noob.

ChrisK · 03-31-2008, 12:57 PM

For the angel eyes...1 bulb per headlight

2 bulbs/car

MadMan77 · 03-31-2008, 01:35 PM

Thanks there Chris. Just wanted to order them now so they can go on the first day.

mlevere1988 · 03-31-2008, 01:59 PM

You know, everyone was complaining about the 'scared cat' look of the headlights but when you see them lit up like that at night, the 'eyes' look mean!

MsChiff · 03-31-2008, 03:18 PM

My 8500's arrived on Saturday. I'm going to try to install them early this week!

M3Newbie88 · 03-31-2008, 03:46 PM

Just waiting to see the difference between the 7500 and the 8500...

Italteen3 · 03-31-2008, 04:21 PM

VERY nice looking! I might just have to order a pair so they are here for D-day.

EDIT: Ok just ordered the bulbs. It is now official the modding bug has bit me and hard!

ChrisK · 03-31-2008, 05:03 PM

I got the 7500's....i will post comparison picts shortly.
