Foglights bulb type and angel eye questions

Hey guys
I need to know what type of bulbs the X6 uses on the front foglights ?
Im still not sure which bulb use in order to change my angel eyes to white color, weisslicht is a great option but also the PIAA's H8 shown at this link
http://www.shopatron.com/products/pr...PIA18235/353.0
if anyone is using any of the one's mentioned above, please send me your feedback, I like the PIAA's because they are an identical fit to the OEM bulbs
Thanks
Bernie

Hi Bernie,

The front fogs are H11 55W bulbs

I have the WeissLicht LED's fitted to my X6, they were easy to setup and fit with no errors. They are not as bright in the daytime as I hoped they would be, and they have a little bit of purple color to them as appoised to pure white. I have ordered some gp thunder II bulbs to give them a try to compare.

Cheers

I installed a set of PIAA Xtreme white. they fit identical to oem. the color is def whiter than the stock. I wouldn't call it brite white, but it's def better than the yellow...previous to the PIAA I had installed DTEC H8 ANGEL EYE LED 8WATT. these were not oem style bulbs. had to shove the ballast and wiring into the AE pocket. look was brite white but not even, meaning the AE ring was broken up and not uniform. looked terrible.

Thanks for your feedback, it seems you are happy with the results from the Extreme White PIAA's, so you recomend them ?

Motex,

Do you have pictures of your new lights? I am looking to change mine and would like to see how yours turned out.

Thanks,
Dustin
