Just Installed 6500K D1S HID Bulbs on my E93 M3

SlammedR8 · 11-26-2008, 09:06 AM

I just installed 2 6500k D1S bulbs from www.xenondepot.com - they look so much better then stock!
But I think I am going to swap them out for the 8000k upgrade,

2 of my buddies with 997 Turbos just did the 8000k HID upgrade and the look is HOT!

What do you guys think?

looks good, how easy/difficult is this install?

J08M3 · 11-26-2008, 09:20 AM

I think the snow on the ground sucks.

It's tough to tell from pics, but how are they different than stock?

Reedomn · 11-26-2008, 09:47 AM

I think they would go great with those 19" chrome wheels for sale!!

Big Windy · 11-26-2008, 09:57 AM

i can't really tell too well on the lights, but i do like the shadowline on your vert top.

SlammedR8 · 11-26-2008, 02:37 PM

not hard at all, if you can lift the car on a hoist and turn the wheel. you can change the bulb from behind the fender liner. its RIGHT there! Cant miss it!!
(couple screws to loosen up the fender line and remove it, thats all)

How did you have your HIDs on without the side blinker bulbs on?

Yep!
Pretty simple if you can get the car on a hoist!

"blinkers" in the side vents are only turn indicators. Side markers are the orange LED in the corner of the headlamp housing.

Not a fan of high Kelvin bulbs--looks like you're trying too hard to draw attention, and they don't produce as much usable light as stock (the human eye is not as sensitive to the blue range).
