Awesome taking one for the team! Personally I'd go with white, looks more classy in my opinion.

Nice find! Let's see how this works out. Easier alternative to removing the lights and having it sent out for modification. But will it be better? I would go with the white lights.

Wow, sweet find.

Please let us know if you need any modifications for fit...etc.

And Pics!

PS - Jlevi has these, might be a smarter buy with them

If you check the dealers page for WeissLicht, they list jlevi, bimmian and beastpower.

I did not see e85 or 86 anywhere on the jlevi page. Bimmian also has a link, but if you follow it it also doesn't have anything that says e85/e86.

Yea.

That makes me suspicious now. I thought our cars just had a halogen bulb. Not a AE bulb like the E9xs and all other cars have.

BA9S

The 2006-2008 take a tiny BA9S base bulb. Those bulbs you linked don't look like a drop in replacement. I took mine out and was going to mod a high power LED to replace it but never got off the ground. I tried a 9 SMD off the shelf LED with a BA9S base and and it was whiter but dimmer than the stock OEM 10w Halogen. Plus I got the bulb out warning.

BA9S bulb link

If anyone has a damaged headlight with halo I could really use it. I want to experiment with some high powered LEDs but it's hard to do while the headlight is on my car. I really don't want to get into removed my headlight to experiment. So, anyone know a wrecked car with a busted halo headlight?
