The previous owner seemed to have retrofitted the headlights with these kind of HID's in a halogen housing. It currently has a halogen housing, but I can't seem to figure out what kind of setup these are with the HID bulbs. Concern at the very bottom. Here are the two connectors of the HID...

I've relocated my A/C head unit in a new relocation console unit and now find the old ashtray is too wide to fit because in the new unit there's an led bulb. How do you remove the bulb, it seems stubborn, fingers are too big and tweezers haven't worked yet?

Real quick problem with a quick diagnosis hopefully... My front right Xenon HID bulb is not working (on the dash I get the little car logo with a red low beam logo on the front-right side of the indicator). I've swapped the bulbs, ignitors and now ballasts and the problem still persists on the...

Hi guys, I've brought my new BMW E46 320 CD Sport on the weekend and all is great. The issue i'm having is as follows: When I brought the car the xenons were working with no issues, then a couple of days later I jumped in the car for a spin. When I turned the Xenons on the drivers side one...

I got a warning light on my dash showing that the driver side headlight was out (mine's right hand drive). I went ahead and changed the bulb using the correct spec, i.e. H7 55w. However, the dash warning light was still on and the headlight didn't go on. I checked the fuse box (I assume that...

Alright guys before you decide to blow up and say search and :blah:, I just wanted to know what you guys preferred on your xenon lights. I'm in the market for some new bulbs and I really like the bright white look with a hint of blue. What do you guys like? What gives out the best color...

Hello everyone. My driver's side fog light went, so I figured now would be a great time to try some yellow fogs. I picked up some Nokya Arctic Yellow 2500k H11 size, since all the information I gathered indicated that sport package E46 sedans after 2002 all use this bulb. So imagine my shock...
