Brex+osram+piaa

I have gathered the required parts for my 330i front end to go completely 6000K , I wish someone can provide comments if they have bought and used these parts before? Please give your purchased price for reference

Wait on the BREX, i am making LUX Rings which willb e cheeper then BREX. ALso, the PIAA H11 WHite flog bulbs are awesome, i love them. However, if you are getting the 6000k Xenon's you may want to get a different color fog bulb to match the headlights better. the PIAA is much warmer in color then the 6000k bulbs.

I have the Brex kit and I have the Osram 6000K headlight bulbs. $270 for the Brex Kit $250 for the Osrams Very easy install. I recommend you also check out suvlights.com for superwhite H11 bulbs as well. Any questions, you can always PM me. Danny

Hey Rob! They are made in Japan. I asked Jens about his thoughts on different brands because I had some good experiences with Raybrig & PIAA. He told me that all bulbs from these guys are made by a total of 10 manufacturing warehouses scattered about. They are then just relabled. Makes sense to me because of what PIAA is doing with their "7400K" or whatever bulbs which are just the Osram 5400K aka 6000K. So he recommended that I look into the bulbs he has which are made at on the the plants that all the name companies get theirs from. Danny

Danny , and all

thanks for your replies. I willl replace all bulbs to whiter ones and will go ahead with these
http://www.e90post.com/forums/showpo...7&postcount=88

if no major issues, below are the model and prices :

FOR HID, OSRAM SYLVANIA- Xenarc 6000K HID Xenon D1S-HC- Each $125.00

Angel Eyes, BREX White Ring No. 9 ( for E90), 21,000 yen ~USD210

For sport lights, PIAA’s Xtreme White Plus H-11 with a Kelvin rating of 4000K
( price not yet known )

As you have suggested , for sport light, it could be better if whiter. What model of PIAA do you use on yours?

tks

Cnt, I am still using OEM H11 bulbs. If I change them, I would get 3000K yellow bulbs to cut thru foggy conditions. http://www.suvlights.com/product_inf...roducts_id=216 Danny

Danny, tks for suggestion. I am almost ready to order. Just to make sure a few things. Please advise.

FOR HID, OSRAM SYLVANIA- Xenarc 6000K HID Xenon D1S-HC- Each $125.00
I will buy from suvlights web site.

Angel Eyes, BREX White Ring No. 9 ( for E90), 21,000 yen ~USD210 I can buy this from local shop.

For spot light, I don't fancy the 3000K yellow bulb as these yellow fog bulbs are being used on our local taxi. I dont have to go for the PIAA if I can find something as white as the D1 from suvlights so I can order in one go. Which fog bulb would you suggest for my E90 if I want to shop from suvlights?
( My original choice for sport lights is PIAA’s Xtreme White Plus H-11 with a Kelvin rating of 4000K )

tks
