i had a thread about this before. if they using the standard headlight forget about it. if its the bmw projecter. seond is what temp u want them. they go from white to blue to bluer to purple. 6000-12,000k. they do have some yellow ones that are like 4000k but a little more rare to find. *** for brand i dont know much about. but figured i'd throw my useless 2 cents in. im putting bmw lights in my car within the week hopefully.

I just bought some from Umnitza. Shipped pretty fast, and I couldn't find a better deal than $260 shipped. Check out the thread in the group buy forum, give them a call. I bought the 6000K, they look a little bluish but the light output is a nice white.

that is pretty useless considering 4300 does not have a hint of yellow in it, anything above 6000k is completely worthless IMHO.

That's about right. The US spec E36 lights don't have projectors, while the Euro spec do. You could always take your E36 US spec and swap in an E46 projector w/ HID for the low beam.

LOL..nice sig

back on topic...

if it doesn't say philips, hella, denso, valeo, etc on it then it's not really a quality HID system. also when a part of a kit fails...who's to say that there will be parts available since a lot of these connections are propreitory setups.

with the OEM HID systems you will always have D2S/D2R connections available.

well, looks like Danny answered my questions along with everyone else's. i guess im gonna have to talk to people at my job to c if they can get me REAL HID's even though those suckers r pretty expensive. hell i can't even have the ones that come off of the cars that when an LED stops working they have to return the whole headlight assembly after they install a new one. DAMN BMW's. well, at least i ended up gettin' a 19inch 745Li rim with a brand new tire for free, now i have to c if i can get the other 3 rims as well. thanks guys for all ur inputs.

anyone local want to test fit a DEPO projector into your cars?
With Xenon, Angel Eyes, and new glass headlights, you'll be looking at $550 shipped for 10 people.

not bad?
