Question: Halogen H7 bulbs

D-Raw · 03-01-2012, 09:34 AM

Hey guys, so I just recently purchased and installed the new Lux LCI AE for e90 halogen lights, My angel eyes look great but the OEM halogen color defeats the purpose of my upgrade

. I wanted to know which brand of bulbs everyone is using and how it's working for them, I'm looking to match my 6k look on my car. I don't mind any bulbs between 5k-7k but I want to know you guys opinion, I know the 5k is less color but brighter and vice versa with the more colored bulbs

have you considered just turning off the halogen beams and solely run the AE as DRL's? That's what I did. But if you wanted to run the halogens, i would go 7500k

Yeah as of now, im running the AE as my DRL but at night time when i turn my low beams on and i dont like the yellow

I've been using mtec 4350K. To me they match. Don't have any pics though.

M-tech superwhite 4350K have good reviews. I did a lot of research and narrowed down to 4350K or GP Thunder 7500K. However, after installing LUX, I instead just kept the yellow lights. They don't look too bad imo. If you try M-tech, let me know... might give it a shot too.

It's like having xenons with yellow angel eyes, but just the opposite haha.

I'm on my 2nd pair in a little over 3 years now so I think they're well put together and am pleased with the color and light output for a halogen bulb. I didn't use gloves when I first installed them and most likely is the reason one went out. They're also inexpensive so easily replaceable.
