bimmer848 Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 all, i have a 2013 sel that does not not have hid(which is dumb) and these headlight are seriously some of the worst i have driven behind. its a lease so i dont want to commit too much $$ to hid conversion yet, but was wondering if anyone has tried just upgrading the bulbs? i figured since they are projector already with a nice bulb they would get the desired look and improvement with a nice bulb? any help or experience is apprecoiated! -Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candurin Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 The oem bulbs are Philips HIR2 (3rd gen bulbs), which are pretty good halogens. If Want to stay with halogen/xenons then you should consider sylvania silverstar ultras or ge nighthawk platinums (9006 size bulbs). For true light performance increase hid is the way to go. And you can get a ddm kit for not too much more than either ofne halogen/xenon ones I listed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 OSRAM Night Breaker Plus bulbs are also quite good (have them on my Edge), and are available in 9006 spec for about $42/pair. Can buy directly off of the mega auction site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar302 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Try HIR1 or 9011. They will fit and are brighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
