Installed PIAA Precious White 4800K on the 135i (for angel eyes)
I have the PIAA Xtreme White 4150K bulbs on my X5 and when I saw these were just released in Japan by PIAA, I placed an order. They came in today and I installed them as soon as my wife got home from work. The install was straightforward, apart from putting those covers back on. What a pain in the arse
I'll let the pictures do the talking... |

Damn P1et!!! That indeed looks GOOD!!! They look pretty bright! At least using those bulbs won't give you any chances of headlight failures like the LED alternatives.
Thanks for sharing some pics!

Wow those look surprisingly good, up to now your only option for decent white halos were Lux bulbs. Mind me asking where you picked these up? Also I've only had the car for 3 weeks so not entirely familiar with it... do you require 2 different types of bulbs for the 2 halos? And were the bulbs you picked up the correct wattage?

Also would you happen to have any daytime shots? I heard aftermarket bulbs while brighter at night many times will appear dimmer during the day compared to stock. Last edited by 3002 tii; 09-24-2013 at 08:47 AM.. Reason: Daytime picture request |

Interesting, it's still bright during the day but gives off a stockish yellow output. Well I'm sold!
