Fog light bulb replacement to match xenon headlights

[Installsplus]

Hi guys looking for a similar match to the xenon headlamps on my x5. I don't have to go led just want to get rid of the yellow colour on the h11 bulbs. I also want a plug and play with no codes. Hopefully there is something available.

Will something like this work?

Bimmian sells them and they are plug and play however they give a few flashes in start up and every 2-3 minutes according to what i've read. This occured when i switched my turning signals to LED. This is because the system checks for burnt lights. Only way of getting rid of it is with coding.

Do u know anyone who does coding in Toronto ? They also have halogen bulbs which seem like they are more blue then yellow for 75 dollars.

You could always get the BMW LED ones.

Aren't the stock ones LED?

No, Canada gets the halogen ones if no LED package is added... I know so unfair

I am looking to do the same thing, I think I will go with Phillips diamond vision as it seems to be close match for xenons, its also halogen so no coding needed

Let me know how that goes. I was looking at these bulbs but everyone complains they don't last very long. U get a 1 year warranty. Has anyone tried these not sure if they will trigger a code. They will not return them.

I've been thinking of getting these for another car that uses halogen fog light that could use an improvement:

Try checking out theretrofitsource.com. I've used their HID kits in the past with great results. They even offer LED h11 bulbs. Great quality products.

These will burn out prematurely based on my experience. I would just go with more yellow since that is what Fog lights are suppose to be. Unless you are using it as driving lights.

No just use it for fog. It is also used when ur making a left or right. In that case might as well leave the OEM ones they are pretty yellow

Do they require coding

[turboawd]

If you use led bulbs, you can add a resistor so you don't have to code.

No coding required. They come with inline error cancellors.

Tell me how it goes. I've really considered this for a long time because the halogens really bug me when turning.
