Halogen to LED Bulbs
Hi All,
My X3 has the halogen headlights. I am looking to switch out the Low Beam (H7 bulb) with an LED bulb. Does anyone have any suggestions? I assume with any bulb I will have to code out the bulb warnings? I heard there is a risk of a large scatter due to how the bulb works. Is there any recommendations on a specific bulb manufacture? I have found some on Amazon, eBay, etc. but not sure if there is one recommended by this group? |

Check this thread for some pics. I'm running OPT7's.

Thank you Iowa X3 . I did come across your post. Did you have to drill or make any modifications to the assembly?
Others - I saw some 360 degree LEDs (4 sided bulbs). Would this be better than the 2-sided LED bulbs that you see online? |
