Useless Headlights Need Up Grading On E39 535I

[37skippy]

Hiya peep

My headlights are dia, I have seen some zenon bulbs on ebay (Halfords want 25 quid each) that would directly replace the standard bulbs. Think there H7 477?

Question is really, would they work ok with out any cable or relay mods? and do they give off more light as it says on the tin (box really) or is that tripe to try to sell them to you?

Or has anyone got any better ideas?? (angle eyes I'd love but cost to much)

Thanks in advance

Julian :)

Hi, you could easily replace the h7 headlight bulbs for some nice bright phillips or osram bulbs, try eurocar parts they

Sometimes have deals going. The other option is to source some xenon headlamps from a bmw breaker or ebay these

are easy to fit on the e39 as they are just plug and play with factory connection. Now if you do go for the xenon option then

You can go to the darkest of roads n will really be impressed with the amount of nice clear light these throw out, they are

Some of the best xenons i have seen and i have drove enough cars! Let us know how you get on mate

Sorry for the late reply mate, cheers for the advise, not sure i can stretch to the new headlights so i will be looking at just getting some brighter bulbs, unfortunatley i just had my battery die but the old one was 8 years old so its had a good innings.

When i get them i'll let you know what i think.

If you're gonna upgrade then go for a HID kit 35 quid ;)

Is there much to modify or fit as i dont really want to start cutting cables etc etc, do you have a link to a good kit that would work for me?

Thanx

Yeah there is a bit of modification needed but you'll fine tonnes of places out there that will sell you the kit AND fit it for not much extra.

HID is really nice but I have used Ebay "Bright" bulbs in the past and yeah, they do the job :) Gives a nice suttle yet legal blue tint B)
