Best looking AE's and D1S bulbs

[Mariobro34]

Whats the best looking combo for our cars? Which ones match best/best color? Pics would be appreciated. Thanks for your input

I got BMS 4LED AE and I am not happy. Should have went with LUX since everyone love it. D1S 6000K Phillips would be nice, I had those before and love it, haven't got for the 1er so no pics.

Check out BavX's new LS3 setup.

I also got BMS 4leds and I'm satisfied. They are so much brighter than my brother's gp thunders. I had HID angel eyes in the past but they were too bright and the headlight caps need to be drilled..I would recommend either purchasing the BMS leds or stepping up to a ring swap like OSS or BavX depending on your budget.

I currently have the alpine hid ae's but they are too bright for me. I want something that matches up, ae's/bulb...

IMO you can never tell from the pix, since you're in socal I would hop over to the regional sub forum and see if theres a meet coming up and try to look at them in person

Yup, that's a good idea.

Nice d1s bulbs that are backed up with great customer service and warranty is DDM Tuning. A pair of d1s bulbs are only $40 plus tax from any range in color. 6000k FTW.

I'm happy with the BMS stuff as well.

Why?

The bigger is not bright enough for me or just me

You're right, in many conditions the bigger ring doesn't show up very well. But IMO they look better than any other options except custom rings which are $600 and require headlight removal. Lux should look just as good but I'd be surprised if they are worth double BMS and they definitely don't look nearly as good as the custom rings.. That's why I recommend BMS or going all out and getting led rings.

The new BMW AE is sweet. I have 2012 and still didnt come with those damn things on the 3er and X series.

Agreed. Many people say the led rings from bavx and oss are similar in brightness and crispness to the new BMW ones. They are expensive but it may be worth it..it would obviously void your warranty though.

Where can you get them for $40? Sorry I'm new to this.

He mention DDM tuning. I boughtbHID kit from them for my Duc. Great product for the dough

[ashan92]

Ok thanks, also would you know if its plug and play and if I can just use it on my stock lights without getting anything else? As well, which ones are the bright white color exactly as in how many K? Appreciate the help.

Philips 6000k...And the LUX is better/ brighter than the BMS 4 LED kit. I say it IS worth the extra money. I tried taking a pic with LUX in one headlight and BMS in the other, but a picture doesn't show the true output that our eyes can see so pictures don't do any good when comparing

All you need are the d1s bulbs which replace the stock low beams. These bulbs will not throw any error code so no worry. IMO I wouldn't go anything above 6000K. I believe our stock bulbs are 3400K so you might want to get something above 3400K if you want that bright white. Google a hid light chart for the different Kelvins.
