Quick question on foglights/drls/blinkers
Alright, I know this has been posted a thousand times, but i still can't decipher between the people who have xenons and halogens and what each needs. My question is this:
I have Xenons (335i sedan) If I want to change the foglights and the DLRs (the ones that run with the AEs during the day) and maybe the side blinker I need H7 (DLRs, correct?), H11 (fogs?),....if so, then what the hell are the 9005 and 9006 lights? Are they different or what the halogen people need? Also, a little confused why you can get the H7 and H11 and the side blinker (silver camo blinking amber) for $125 on Bimmian while going to ebay and getting Nokyas H7 and H11 or a combo of 9005 and 9006 for about $40. (also at eurodezigns.com) What the hell are the difference? And where else can you buy the side blinkers other than Bimmian for cheaper? I'd like to take care of this the same time as my Lux(s)...Please help....Thanks Oh, and maybe the exact name of the Nokyas if you recommend them 'cause there seems to be a wide variety of them. Or just say go with Bimmian's setup if I am way off base here. thanks again

Jesse...
List of bulb codes: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...&highlight=H11 Its H7 for the inner lights (both DRLs and flash-to-pass), D1S for main xenons and H11-55W for halogen fog bulbs. I think you have the angel eyes taken care of with the LUX. What you want is to match the K rating of the LUX. What color temp is it? I have matching 4350K Mtec halogen bulbs for my fogs, nice match with the factory xenons.

Thanks donny, so the 9005, 9006 has nothing to do with my car? I dont see them listed at all. I think I'll just get the cheaper Nokya h7 and h11 from ebay or eurodezigns.com. thanks again.

Alright, just got the Mtec H11 and H7. Donny, you wouldn't know if this light is the one for the blinker/amber light always on when i drive? Also, what's the diff between the (5. 2825 (Parking light) and 6. 7507A, 7507 AST, 2825 (Front Turn signal)? I thought they were the same? does this mean I'd have to get 2 pairs of the bulb? Thanks again for the help....I'm lost with this light stuff.
