I too originally had the Hoen's, one just burnt out. So I opted for the new Sylvania Silvertstar ZXE. Definitely a warmer colour temp, but I'm happy with them. Ultimately, I'd love to do the OEM LED fog light swap...just too pricey.

Glad I went this route. 70 dollars Zxe halogen bulbs vs 116 dollars Canadian led bulbs with resistors & lifetime warranty. Even the wife agrees it was worth it. Lol
No codes stored or flickering

I didn't think the lighting package was worth it from BMW...but it really changes the look of the car with the DRLs and especially at night. Looks menacing

You will be very happy. Make sure you get the resistors with them they are included. So far no flickering or codes. worth the extra 45 dollars compared to halogen and peace of mind with lifetime warranty . I was told the zxe bulbs gets one year warranty if they burn out they will only replace them one time then your on your own. Post some pics when you get them installed

Good job. I purchased the same kit for my F15 as well although I had to code as they would flicker.

Usually flickering would occur the moment you turn on the car and after that it will flicker a little every 2-3 minutes. You should try looking at it yourself and tell someone to turn on the car for you.

I noticed a few days after install and also had an issue with one of the fogs not turning on. I thought I had a bad connection but decided to code first and now they work fine. I have no idea why some experience flickering and some don't.

Just installed mine from Bimmian. What a difference!
Does cornering still work properly?

Just got these lights from bimmian today and would attempt to install it tomorrow. Just wondering where did u put the resistors? I read that those can get very hot, would it melt the bumper? Thank you. |
