I just linked to the british forum thread (as well as the regular thread by Mike) as there are some additional photos in there.

I edited my post to hopefully clear it up

Oh ok, so it is better to buy from the website. Looks like the 4LED bulbs are out of stock and I wanted to try the $89USD regular LED bulbs but it seems like it isn't available for the Z4.

the $89 ones on the site are for certain other models - generally those with halogen headlights (not xenon like our cars)

the 4LED bulbs just came out literally a couple of days ago - currently out of stock but shipment allegedly coming in and shipping out to customers on 3/1 (Thursday)

I'll just wait then when more people has some first hand experience with installing and how it looks in real life.

$167 for Canada, for $100 less than the LUX I wonder how it would compare.

will probably be a while before any decent side by sides show up (theres one in the e90post thread, but its pretty worthless)

but at the current asking price its worth a shot imo.

These look identical: http://www.ebay.de/itm/2x-10-Watt-Hi...ht_6270wt_1037

bulbs look like they're 1 or 2 LED, not 4.

but i'm sure that they're outsourced and probably available elsewhere.

I like the whiteness of these replacement lights. But are the halo lights something I can change or does it have to be done by the dealer? If I can do it, how long does it take and are there any instructions available?

Thanks,
Michael

a regular old halogen bulb powers each set of halos. the instructions are on the site, but it should basically be just like installing a new bulb - the only difference is that you have to unplug the old socket and plug the new one in.

I havent done it on my Z4 - but if its anything like my 335i it is a bit of a pain in the ass as there is a very small access hole that you have to work in.

LED has disadvantage of not being able to light up the outer ring as well as halogens - the pics show this clearly. Not sure how these will compare to some $20 GP Thunders or MTECs. But at least they will not dim on full beam as halogens do. Terry/Mike has said they are value for money but not as good as LUX on the N54tech website - not sure if he was referring to the 2 LED or 4 LED lights.

As for LED the new MTECs with Cree LEDs look good: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...&highlight=lux

on special for $224

yeah I think it is definitely a tradeoff- and the outer ring isnt lit evenly to start with even with a bulb.

I had the arc angel bulbs in my 335 and was happy enough with it - especially for $30.

looks like they were referring to the previous 2 LED lights in that thread. I decided to go ahead and jump on these at $129 and give them a shot. if I don't like them its not a huge hit to the wallet.

I just checked if the 4-led is in stock and they are but with shipping ($14) plus tax it bumps the price to $154. Still the cheapest LED alternative I guess.

Anyone see/tried if this dims down like the MTec when the headlights goes on?

Please keep us updated. Thanks!

[ZheHbKa]

anyone have pics with these installed?

[Al Blue4.6l]

came in today. will try to get around to installing them this weekend.

they are not quite the same as the ones pictured on the site - appears to just be a difference in the color of the metal though:

[rfx45]

I got a question. A regular H8 bulb is attached to a black plastic socket to make the whole assemble L shaped like below:



This particular bulb seems to only have the bulb w/o the black socket, so for this set-up, we don't have to replace it in that black socket right? Just place it in the housing as is?
