I know that the 3 center bulbs are a basic 194 wedge style bulb. I am going to experiment with the autolumination 9 led bulbs. Keeping my fingers crossed that they do not throw any errors. I will keep u posted....

does anyone know the proper bulb sizes and locations? Bimmian has a 21 light kit for 109 and ijdmtoy has only a 17 light kit for 135. Which are the proper lights? Usually Bimmian is the more expensive option??

Once again, most of these LEDS look great at night, and non existent in sunlight.

Agreed Kloogy, but for the price the best I found and I think not to bad.
Better then stock. You can always wait for the new Lux H8 v.3, which is supposed to come out in mid Feb. From what I researched the brightest available mod out there. Just a little to pricey for my taste.

True, but when you're driving a $70k vehicle, you want to use the best.

I am using GP Thunders till the new LUX are released. On my E92 I tried Piaa, various EBay bulbs. All were non existent during daytime. The GP Thunders are the best alternative , next to LUX.
