led headlights

has anyone tried the wiesslicht illuminato low beam led bulbs in our f 30 cars. they are expensive, but look very well built, and they say are engineered specifically for our cars. iam just trying to decide on these bulbs or a top notch hid 35watt canbus hid kit.

I didn't have these exact bulbs, but I had a rebranded version. The ones I had were the Philips led's, light output was great, not too much glare, just didn't much care for the beam pattern. They did flicker at startup, but I coded all of that out.

I own these lights like adam, another rebadge. Don't buy the ones you linked, buy these instead.

I've had a great experience with them, but I also had to code out all checks/errors. Any aftermarket kit will typically give you errors. I had to have a friend code out the cold/warm checks for the low beam and high beams so I didn't get errors. They work fantastic and are much better than the stock halogen H7 bulbs.

No need to, it all plugs in and fits inside the housing. The bulbs didn't give off any error for me, they just flickered.

The led bulbs go in like a normal bulb, just have to spread the fins out and stuff everything back in the housing.

Can you post picture with the install? Would like to see light output. The amazon (JDM) looks good for low beam.

I have replaced all front and rear bulbs to LED's except low beam and high beam. Couldn't find any good replacement earlier. Here are the other LED's I have used. http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1194602

Thanks

I believe I have the Philips bulbs, but it looks like they changed to the Cree bulbs.
