about the e90 Xenons

Jeffelite · 09-14-2005, 02:08 PM

So the xenons actually get brigher after 100-200 hours of usage? That's pretty interesting.

Do they become bluer or just brighter white?

More blue, less white, less light output.

bluer/whiter = dimmer
yellower = brighter

hence why foglights used to be yellow lights.

How much do the bulbs cost to replace?

If I remember right, it's like $300 or so for a pair.

Yeah, they'll cost you more than it's worth.... You'll have to replace the entire light assy. Last I checked they were going for about 1300 per assy (x2).

You can buy products from HID planet.com and get Valeo HID lights
that have a very sexy blue cut-off. You can buy all the parts for around $450. You then need to find someone in your area to put them in. The E90 stock HIDs have only a fraction of the blue color at the cut off. I do not dirve a car if it has yellow headlights.
