G'day All. Ain't BMW just bakgat?

[BarryPr]

Hi All,

I have been driving BMW for the last 20 years (All 2nd hand. Never could afford new). I drive BMW because I love the exhilaration, the feel when you are driving in one. I love that BMW Smell when you get into the car first thing in the morning. Man, that just makes my whole day.

I am looking to purchase angel eye bulbs for my vehicle. I have no clue what to look for. I am sure that somewhere here someone will be able to shed some light.

You get 3w, 5w, 6w, 10w, 20w, 25w and 30w bulbs. You also get 6000k, 7000k and 8000k. Then you get LED and Xenon. The price differences are huge: R300 - R2000 a pair. There is Mtec, Cree etc.

I want something good. Something with a bright white. And if possible neither do I want to pay 1 months salary.

Can someone please explain to me the differences and what one really should be looking at: i.e. watts or k's or both etc.

Thank you.

Stand to be corrected but the higher the "k" rating, the whiter the light,

Send vsomai on the forum a private message, he sells this stuff at a very competitive rate, and will be able to shed more clarity.

You get what you pay for.

You are not wrong. Sometimes however people do charge prices that are a bit over the top.

This is for an E46... The E39 already has Halo rings so all he needs are the right bulbs to hook up :thumbs:
