Ernesto Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 Call up BMW and see if you can get a set of factory HIDs to fit in the fog lights so it will match the lowbeams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amalan Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 nope but theres a reason why theyre so expensive they cant just change out the bulb they have to change out the whole headlight housing because its specially presurized i dunno thats what the guy said to me when i asked why they just couldnt fix it... those dilweeds still havent called me back how long does it take to ship a part... well anyway thats understandable and 800 bucks for a housing hidbulb and etc. and computer is not that bad actually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emperorjj1 Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 I was wondering if by chance anyone knows if ONEX is a good brand of hid? (not sure if thats the bulb or the ballast or both) Theres a GB on the cobalt projectors for 215 now and 200 if ~30 more peeps join but another vender offered hids for them for 195 if i were to do the GB. So im seeing if its a good idea J. JMy CardomainFINISHED COBALT SS/SC DUAL ALTERNATOR PICS theres no such thing as too expensive when it comes to upgrades like that, because imo if you are gonna spend to upgrade then do it correctly rather then be a cheap ass ricer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emperorjj1 Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 oh ive also been told that hids tend to get bluer over time... so should i get something like a 6k instead of going with the 8k to get less blue from the start?

So im seeing if its a good idea ive never heard of it try to stick with brands like mcculloch or phillips http://search.ebay.com/mcculloch-hid_W0QQf...itsearchZSearch lot of people use those for after market hids and theyre pretty good oh ive also been told that hids tend to get bluer over time... so should i get something like a 6k instead of going with the 8k to get less blue from the start? yes they do but not THAT much... theyll get bluer by like 200-400k not 2000k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernesto Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Phillips is a very good brand...Don't be cheap when buying HIDs trust me and that one...I think Meade, me, and other members have learned from this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
