I bought cheap 5000k bulbs off ebay (used old ballast I had from my old car which also cheap ebay replacement ballasts) haven't had any issues. here is a crappy phone pic during the day time, I actually they appear more blue than I thought they would.

get h8 50w cree led bulbs with resistor from ebay, I just installed them yesterday. I went from Hid to led because the HID bulbs kept burning up the housing and I wanted a pure white. NO ERROR CODES AT ALL

Just curious but how is the light output of these bulbs? I've done a lot of testing in the past with similar ones and haven't had the best luck with them

Thanks, I frequently need FO Lights. They do cut the fog better than white lights.

Install was very very easy and look great.

please enlighten me..

LED or HID/xenon FOGLIGHTS(red arrow), NOT lowbeam/highbeam, bixenon (green arrow) is what your saying?
Not even the new F series come with hid or led in the fogs. I cant find any HID or LED foglights on any e9x on realoem on any model.

So.. please enlighten me, which 335:s come with leds or hid in the fogs? Where the red arrow is.
