2007 E90 Pre-LCI Halogen Lights?

Is it possible to make my yellow halogen lights to be white? Do they sell white halogen bulbs? I have a 2007 Pre-Lci Halogen E90 323i, I looked around and found that 5000K Halogen bulbs are as close to white as they get but I'm wondering if it is straight plug and play?

AFAIK you need any standard H7 bulb for low beam light and high beams, so you'll need 4 bulbs total for your car (or if you want to save you can only buy 2 bulbs for low beams since we rarely use high beams). Your stock bulbs are 3000K color - hence yellow-ish look. To get more white-ish look you need to look for something in the range of 4000-5000K but stay with standard 55w rating and avoid blue-ish look bulbs (they look as bad as yellowish). It's all imho

I remember someone said that MTEK 4350K H7 bulbs give a nice white-ish look that is a nice upgrade from stock yellow light https://www.amazon.com/MTEC-2X-Super.../dp/B004MCRS48

I'm sure there are tons of other different brands out there too

You can get white halogen bulbs, but often at the expense of longevity.

Lots of H7 bulbs available, online or even at CT
