I just picked up a new 2001 525iA :buttrock with the sport package but I found out that it dosent have an HID system. What sizes are the Low Beams? and Fog lights? I want to make them both 10,000K HID. I dont have the car yet, but I just want the parts now so I can put them on when it arrives next week. So any quick response would be greatly appreciative :eyecrazy

It'd be better if you ask this in the 5 series forum.

But no, you really don't want 10000k HIDs, or 8000k for that matter. Don't get anyting higher than 6000k.

Surfacewound, this is the 5 series forum.

EThirtyEight, you know HIDs are not just a bulb swap, right?

I got a 01 540 sports pack. My fogs are h8 bulbs. If that helps? I think they are different in years.
