X5M HID blub question

mrpcar · 03-24-2012, 08:43 AM

After upgrading my angle eye to LED I am finding that the factory HID is a little warm.

So time to upgrade the HID bulbs to a 6000k model.

Can anyone suggest a supplier for this? Also which particular bulb model will I need? From my understanding there are different fittings? H1, etc?

What fitting is used on the X5M?

TIA

The truck use D1S xenon bulbs, I bought my 6700k Phillips from E92-Lighting and could not be happier.

My 6000k bulb came in. Here is what they look like installed, a slight blue tint and definitely matches better with the LED angel eye ring.
