I believe they are the brightest HID's in the market. Although they are 7k they look pure white like leds.

Left is the osram, the one on the right is the OEM bulb.

as tested by TRS and others, they're not anywhere near 7000K temp, closer to 5500K. But yes one of the best bulbs on the market currently (and what I run as well)

Cheap too lol! Looks really white, is that high or low beam?

believe that shot was LB only. If HBA/GFHB were on, the upper left would have been illuminated a low more

Spent some time running around SoCal on a road trip.

Car is up on stands whilst I respray the brake calipers, so took the chance to give it an interim oil change & fitted the BMS alloy filter housing which has the benefit of a heat sink machined into it.

Please post pics of your calipers when you're done! I'm considering this myself, I just haven't chosen a color

How complicated is to change them ?

It's not that bad if you own a jack and torque wrench

MikeF87LCI are you lowered (and if so, on what?) and/or running any spacers (and if so, sizes?)

Yeah on KW v3, no spacers currently but on 255/275 tyres

lax01 · 11-29-2020, 07:41 PM

First time tracking at Streets of Willow - first time on camber plates with MUCH more camber and 275/295s - to say there is more grip would be an understatement:

jetfirex · 11-29-2020, 08:23 PM

Got it (mostly) prepped for winter with the new snow shoes. Thankfully the old wheels from my M235 worked out just fine with a little help from some spacers.
